Rock and Roll Never Forgets

The True Story of the Fake Zombies

Welcome to The True Story of The Fake Zombies. In the debut episode, host and writer Daniel Ralston introduces you to one of the strangest stories in rock and roll history.

We meet British psychedelic rock legends, THE ZOMBIES, and uncover the origins of the young men from Texas who pretended to be them 55 years ago, including two future rock and roll icons. Then, legendary reporter, Ben Fong-Torres, tells us about his time covering The Fake Zombies. We just had to remind him that the whole thing happened first.
