Here is some information on the Swamp Zombies...in many ways, a pre-neo-tiki band....

There is a funny personal story attached to this crazy thread. it was 1986, and I was on leave from the military, and hooked up with some high school buddies (In a wierd twist of fate, one of those buddies now lives near SHAG.)

We decided to go out and catch some bands. Night moves was the place, the band was the Swamp Zombies. Me and my buds were getting piss-drunk and obnoxious, and heckling the band something awful...during a break, the singer of the band (who played a green upright bass as well) came down and sat with us, had a few beers. Turned out to be the best way to get us to stop the heckling.

My three buddies and I got "picked up" by three girls, and we left with them. Suffice it to say, after I sobered up I had one of those WTF moments and left....walked home. I lived in north orange at the time, so as you can tell a walk home from Night moves to there was about 20 miles....at 3:00 in the AM that's a tough walk!
