Music Fan Film Series Presents: Hung Up On A Dream

When rock critics and pop music fans list the British Invasion’s most seminal bands, they usually include the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, and the Kinks—but somehow the Zombies get left out. Filmmaker Robert Schwartz (The Argument) sets the vinyl record straight with Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary. The Zombies is a charming group of blokes that includes Rod Argent, Colin Blunstone, Chris White, Hugh Grundy, and the late Paul Atkinson.

The film recounts the Zombies’ ups and downs, split-ups, reunions and, humorously, the fake bands that cynical record companies created during some of the band’s hiatuses. Today, rather than fade into obscurity or sign on to a nostalgia tour, these aging rockers manage to remain relevant with a new album and tour.
