Zombie Prom! The Band of The Dead!

10/30/2014

0 Comments

 
The Zombie Prom at Lucky 13 Garage is kicking off tomorrow at 7.30 and as we prepare for Craven Brains High Schools Prom of the dead we thought we would chat to the 90s cover band who will be resurrecting 20 year old hits! To us the 90s never died, but to many its dead and buried!
Be sure to get your tickets tonight to save a few dollars! Tickets available at the door for $15!

SPAM has been performing for what seems like forever. What has been your secret to your longevity?

We believe by changing drummers every 2-3 months it keeps us fresh and excited to play. Its at a point now where we don't even know their names, we just number them. We've had more drummers than Spinal Tap! No honestly we literally have had more drummers than Spinal Tap! We're excited to have #26 playing the Prom. If he does well we may even extend his contract a few weeks... maybe..

Out of all the events you have performed for, what is your most memorable gig, and what has happened to make it stick in your mind?

We've had so many memorable gigs over the last 10 or so years. We name them like the “Friends” episodes. eg,  “The gig where Grant forgot his bass” , “The gig where Lee forgot his drum sticks”, “The gig where Lee forgot his snare drum”  “The gig where Cam forgot he had gastro”  (that ended badly) So many good times..

The 90s were a timeless era for all those who are now in their late 20s and 30s. Why do you think these tunes have persisted over the decades and what gives them their appeal?

As a band we really haven't learnt anything new since the 90s so I suppose thats one way of keeping the songs alive.  I think 90s songs are appealing as most people grew up in the 90s. Even my Nana grew up in the 90s!

You guys will be a full Zombie Band for The Zombie Prom, what songs, what interaction and what can the Zombie Alumni expect on the night?

We put together a classic SPAM setlist, then removed the songs that weren't really “classics” .  

To those 4 songs we added some classic 90s rock. We even added some unexpected surprises. Some are such a surprise that even some of the band don't know them! Basically lots of 90s with a touch of boy band and a hint of all girl group. We're in our element and can't wait!
