The Zombie Economists

We found ourselves in want of a drummer, hence the radio silence.

Not the best forum but if you’re a drummer, or know one, anywhere between Glasgow and Stirling, that might fit the bill, do get in touch.

Writing and demoing one song while simultaneously mixing another is not conducive to trying to hold it together in the real world.

I’ve mixed emotions about this video. It was cobbled together from live footage as an after thought. It kind of shows how far we’ve moved on with this stuff but I’ll always feel this song deserved better. Maybe one day I’ll re-visit it.

The wonderful JuZ included us in last night’s show, alongside loads of fantastic artists. You can watch it back here.

In some towns people know how to exist in a crowd. Some towns they walk about clueless in each other’s way. Some towns they’ll just walk right at you.

Today we will mostly be recording bass and eating rolls and sausage. #howweroll

Nice little false dichotomy he has here. Feels counter intuitive in the long run.

Look at that! Eddie’s heard of us. 🤣

Calco Deum (very) roughly translates to “Trample the Gods Underfoot”, which makes it sound way more metal than it is.

Well this has never felt more relevent! If you're not worried yet, you're looking the wrong way.

Yikes! Been off here for a couple of days, mastering the art of Mandarin subtitles, for “reasons”. Came back to 60 new followers!

Hello everyone. We make songs. Please listen to our songs. 🤘

Great night out at Nice n Sleazy’s, Glasgow, last night, supporting friends GodsZoo and Pangean Sons. Introduced to Fife outfit Metatone also. All these bands are worth checking out.

Thank you, we’re pleased with it. 😎

If you’re still taking submissions… 🙂

I think it’s a good time to re share this. Give our awesome DIY video a watch.

Bannerman’s Bar let us get ready in the tour flat, upstairs. And here’s Rhona, ready!

Bannerman’s Bar, Cowgate, Edinburgh! This very night!!

Get down here.

A last minute reschedule, which means it's no longer a school night.

We don't know who we're on with. Could be be a folk duo, doom metal, Boney M tribute band. The possibilities are endless!

Why not join us on an adventure?

In an unexpected development we are now playing Bannermans, Cowgate, Edinburgh on Friday 10th of Jan, instead of Thu 9th.
We still have no idea who with. 🙌
Get yourselves along.

Was about to have an early night and remembered I needed to completely rebuild my pedal board ahead of rehearsal tomorrow. 😩

Three days to go...

Decent afternoon recording. I think I may have finally found my perfect guitar tone. Only took 30 odd years.

Happy belated New Year folks! (Still pretty new, right?)
In between the two day hangovers there has been much recording and planning for 2025. We’re looking to make it a busy year.
We kick off in Bannerman’s, Bar, Edinburgh on the 9th of Jan. Start the year off right.

An early start! Today, ladies and gentlemen, we record lead guitars.

Start your New Year of live music off with us! Bannermans Bar, the 9th of January. #altrock #gigs #liveband #edinburghgigs

This is excellent and worth your time!

You can see that second last line coming all the way and it lands perfectly. 🤣 Love Eric Idle!

Oops indeed.
