Stompbox: HUNG UP ON A DREAM (2024) – Toronto Theatrical Premiere!

TORONTO THEATRICAL PREMIERE! 

In their first ever feature documentary nearly sixty years after they met as teenagers before the British Invasion music scene, THE ZOMBIES tell their story of navigating the tumultuous music industry over the decades and making one of the most influential albums of all time, Odessey and Oracle. “She’s Not There” made them the first British band after The Beatles to reach #1 in the US. After years of touring and many missteps in the 60s, sadly the band missed out on their biggest moment yet, when “Time of the Season” hit #1 and became a global success, inspiring new generations each year. The band looks back on their journey, where true friendship led them to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (Utopia)

Some of the best music and loveliest people you’ll ever spend time with, Hung Up On a Dream is a warm, wonderfully captivating story of how friendship, art and music, in the long run of time, can overcome everything including a career sabotaged by mismanagement and the music biz. I am forever grateful that I was able to see the reunited Zombies live twice before Rod Argent’s retirement in 2024. They were fantastic. So is this movie. Pure joy! (Dave Bertrand)
