Ten years in the making, this full theatrical performance of Dan Abbott's zombie rock opera Day of the Zombie rose from the grave Friday the 25th at Dante's Inferno in Portland. In the first years of the new millenium, DoTZ was written and performed amongst the thriving mutant underground of Oakland, CA; including members of Hobo Gobbelins, Clan ov thee Bleeding Eye, Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits, International Maggot Theater, Nommo Ogo, Extra Action Marching Band, and legions of related projects; Day of the Zombie has been presented as a band show and as a radio drama, toured alongside Thee 999 Eyes Ov Endless Dream, and premiered as a musical play co-directed by Abbott and Noah Mickens in 2006 at Someday Lounge.
The plot involves mad scientists, super-computers gone awry, and the destruction of human civilization, all within the first ten minutes of show. And then the real fun starts. Think of it as a more down-home version of Jesus Christ Superstar, with enough balls to tackle the best part of that story—the Ressurection. It's an all-singing, all-dancing, all-consuming deathfest.
Brains.

But i know it's going to be worth it! anywhoo's how are you?
Dan I have always thought you are the most creative individuals I know. I have nothing but respect for you as a musician and human being. The support we got over the years from you and the community we were a part of means more than ever could be explained in words. Wish you the best and thanks for the adds and everything Kevin
YAY for the zombie crew! so much fun, wanna do it again! can't get those songs to stop playing in my head. dan is bloody talented, with the appearance and imagination of a ten year old.
So we got to see um, I think five songs, starting with the one before the robot king of zombies one. Bandwidth problems? I'm still awake and I don't know what to do at 3:30am. Checking myspace on a 5x8 foot screen is pretty weird.
