What's German for "Halloween"?

Zombina and the Skeletones played our first live show in a very long time a couple of weeks back, opening for The March Violets and introducing Manchester to our very scary new drummer Tommy Kruger - who did an amazing job on his live debut (sounding much better than the drum machine we’ve been using for the last 12 months) so now we feel like a real band again, and that means the time is right to start doing crazy stuff! So… the night after we play the FERAL Halloween III party at Wild At Heart in Berlin, we’re going to make that hideous trek right to the opposite end of Germany to play at Hell Nights on Halloween at Club Volta in Cologne with our old friends The Other (who will be appearing under their original moniker of “Ghouls”, playing a set of Misfits covers)


Also appearing will be Vlad In Tears, The Crimson Ghosts and We’rewolf! Can you think of a better way to spend Halloween? If the answer is “yes”, you can just SHUT IT, buddy!

In other news: we’re selling “Down On Tombstone Beach” beachtowels now. That’s a bit strange isn’t it? Beachtowels of a song? It’s this blasted heat. Makes you do things.

As you can see, it makes a great cover for your Munsters pinball machine (image provided by ZATS bats Discord user “Cabal1313”)

See you sooooon,
