"Down On Tombstone Beach" The Music Video

 

It took us a while but we finally got our asses to Tombstone Beach to film a promotional video for our summertime hit single! Surf your Ouija board over to our YouTube channel and subscribe for more! Next HORRROR SHORTS installment - Friday 31st July!

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,

HORROR SHORTS #6: Down On Tombstone Beach

 Put on your nose guard! It's here! The sixth installment in the Zombina and the Skeletones HORROR SHORTS series. "Down On Tombstone Beach". No video for this one... yet! Bur we intend to make it happen :D Look, it's not easy getting a song *and* a video out every month. It's kind of impressive that we got it dead-on the first five times, to be honest. We're halfway through 2026, and halfway through HORROR SHORTS! The next one is coming July 31st.

ZOMBINA & DOC in INTERVIEW SHOCK!

 

Zombina and Doc Horror speak to Jeff Frumess about various topics from American cereal to the next ZATS album to parenting tips. No rhyme, no reason. Pure, unadulterated chatter.

NIGHTMARE CASTLE, BABY!

 

Premier coming up: Nightmare Castle! The 3rd part in our HORROR SHORTS monthly single drops this week! Zombina and the Skeletones take on the flying medusa heads in shocking pixelvision!

Nightmare Castle is almost too long to qualify as a true mini-song, but it is still under two minutes so we think that's fine. The fun begins at our YouTube channel on Thursday 26th March at 7pm GMT, then the song will be available everywhere from Friday 27th!

Get the whole HORROR SHORTS set from https://zombinaandtheskeletones.bandcamp.com/album/horror-shorts and look out for updates on the last Friday of the month 🦇🏰🦇

Also - you are invited to sing along at home with these nifty karaoke style music videos. Do it! DO IT!!!

IN SINISTEREO MINIS!

"Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo" is out NOW!

LISTEN UP, BONE BOY!

We completely forgot to post the full Suzie Toot feat. Zombina and the Skeletones - BONECOMING! video when it dropped last month. Here it is! Fun Fact: We couldn't get Z to the states for the video shoot so she is represented by an actual ghost!
...and here is another treat - back from the dawn of time: the Nobody Likes You remix from 2002 lives again!

...and while you're here - join the ZATS Bats discord! (Thanks to Mantipedes for takin' care of this business)

Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo

 

IT IS HERE!!!

Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo is finally REAL. You can stream it! You can buy it. It's all happening. We have one more show left to play before we take a big break from performing live and it's this one...

GET A TICKET!!!

SO MANY EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!

 

Single number TWO from Zombina and the Skeletones In Sinistereo is dropping tomorrow (Wednesday the 8th October 2025) it's called "Kill!!!" (with three exclamation marks) and it's the spooky electropop dance-banger of the album. The b-side is called "The Flesh", and much like "Last Party On Earth" it's an ancient (pre-Death Valley High) song that we'd never gotten around to recording that we've finally polished off for your enjoyment in 2025 AD. It's also potentially the weirdest track we've ever recorded...

Please join us for the fabulous "Kill!!!" fan-made video which premieres Oct 8th, 7:30 GMT

The video was created by, and stars Mantipedes and their amazing Zombina puppet. I mean, just look at this thing...

It's pretty damn magnificent, no?

Then there's the incredible news that we had the opportunity to collaborate with Drag Race legend Suzie Toot in remaking her 2023 Halloween single "Bonecoming", which we've given a big ole punk rock makeover as per her request!

We were, frankly, startled to hear that Suzie had name-dropped us on Drag Race season 17 earlier this year, and we of course felt the need to get in touch - which eventually led to a remote collab on the all-new, rockin' rollin' version of "BONECOMING!" (now in all-caps, with a single, solitary exclamation mark) which you can already hear on all streaming services - and which has a video in the works. In the meantime, here's Suzie discussing her "Tootober" plans:  

Then there's "The Kids Are All FRIGHT!!" (with two exclamation marks) an 18 track compilation of RARE horror-punk madness from all over the place on We Are Horror Records, to which we have contributed an exclusive track called "It Begins..." You won't find this on yer streaming services. This is a limited edition CD/LP and when it's gone, it really is gone!
You can hear an excerpt of "It Begins..." on the official ad:

Things always start to heat up at this time of year!

...and don't forget: Zombina and the Skeletones in Sinistereo is COMING October 31st from 9x9 Records! Pre-orders are OPEN!

We have three shows coming up, too:
October 31st at Slaughterhouse, Berlin (there might be another RARE product associated with this one...)
November 1st at CRK, Wroclaw with Horror Vacui and Psychoformalina
November 8th at Quarry, Liverpool with Thirst, Q.u.a.l.m.s and the astounding magic of Alexander Thorn!

...after which we will take a little break from playing live while we search for that elusive drummer. If you are a drummer - please get in touch!!!
