The search for The Fake Zombies takes us to Bay City, Michigan, the “little smelly town” where the imposter Zombies assembled. The town is home to a Rock and Roll museum that contains details about the band’s history, and the audacious managers who cooked up the scheme. We also talk with Bobby Balderrama, lead guitarist in garage rock pioneers, ? And the Mysterians, who shared a manager with The Fake Zombies.
