About this deal

Beginning with the comparatively obscure Brown Sugar from ZZ Top’s First Album (released three months before the Rolling Stones song of the same name in 1971), and then working through a bunch of gems including Blue Jean Blues, Just Got Paid and I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide, and carrying on to the monster hits Legs and Gimme All Your Lovin’ from Eliminator, the trio embraced their musical legacy in one final, joyful and entirely spontaneous performance, which according to Gibbons they weren’t even aware was being recorded at the time. Since 2006, ZZ Top have been managed by Carl Stubner. But it was Ham who managed the trio from the outset, and who took them from unknown hopefuls to international stardom. Ham died in 2016, and is fondly remembered in the movie, especially by Hill.

I never would have sent them to prison!” Fake Zombies on Canadian TV

I t wasn’t long after that that Ramsey got the call to join the fake Zombies, which at the time featured Beard, Hill, and Meador. He isn’t exactly sure how the offer came about, and is unsurprisingly fuzzy about some of the details of the era. “The ‘60s were consumed with the fascination of experimentation,” he says now, wryly. “Frank was the one who approached me.” They played small clubs in Michigan and Wisconsin and went up into Canada, where they appeared on TV and played a gig in a prison — it’s there where Ramsey’s story begins to differ from that of Tom Hocott. “I have a feeling that they kinda divided from Delta promotions and did their own thing," Hocott says. "Can you imagine? I never would have sent them to prison!” ZZ plants are happy without fertilizer, but if you would like, you can give the plants half strength fertilizer one to two times a year and only in the summer months. They were so damn good,” Hocott says. “They were the perfect Zombies. If you heard them play ‘Time of the Season’ you couldn’t tell the difference.” They were so good that Delta Promotions felt comfortable increasing the size and scale of the tours. “They had a tour bus,” Hocott says. “We sent a road manager out with them.”The Excels werea popular Beach Boys–inspired band who performed at Kehoe’s Bay City teen club, Band Canyon, on August 18, 1966.They were a regional success during the mid ’60s, recording a number of singles on the Carla label out of Detroit that charted on local radio. TheExcels had several hit singles on Saginaw's two major Top 40 stations, WKNX and WSAM, and appearednumerous times at that city's popular teen club, Daniel's Den, as well as the Blue Light in nearby Midland, Michigan. At the end of last year they sold off their publishing catalogue, together with their income from recorded royalties and performance royalties, to BMG. It’s a move that has not only secured their individual positions financially, but also “ensures the band’s recorded legacy will endure for generations to come”, according to their manager Stubner. Following the failed bust, Jim Atherton left Delta Promotions and moved to Boston. He began working there as a manufacturing representative for Sunn Amplifiers and was not involved in the Fake Zombies scandal.

When fitted correctly using Hairaisers professional beard adhesive, the Full Long Beard is indistinguishable from a real, naturally growing beard. Kehoe admitted that he had put two fake Zombies groups on the road in the first Rolling Stone story, The 'Zombies'Are A Stiff,published in the December 13, 1969, issue of the magazine. Kehoe was interviewed and stated that after the "original" Zombies from Texas and Florida disbanded, another group took their place. "They really liked the original Zombies", Kehoe stated, "They really admired them." Kehoe went on to say: "They're not a new group, they used to be the Excels....oh, for about five or six years." He first met Bill Kehoe through The Epics after Kehoe became their manager and started booking the band through Delta Promotions, often at Band Canyon where he was a part-owner. Although Jamrog had a good job at Saginaw Steering Gear, he found the music business much more exciting and had dreams of pursuing a career as a promoter. The director said ‘Give us a few minutes, we’re still getting our end of things sorted out.’ So we just began playing,” Gibbons recalls. “Little did we know that the technicians had set up the recording gear and were actually capturing all this.” Sanders said that shortly before any of theimposter bands went on the road, Kehoe asked him if he was interested in joining the version of the Animalsthat Deltawas putting together. Sanders, who had seen Eric Burdon and the original Animals perform at the Blue Light in 1966,felt that the offer was unethical and turned it down. Sanders left Delta Promotions shortly thereafter.

Delta Promotions provided them with a tour bus with 'Zombies' printed on it along with a road manager. The Michigan Zombies were booked outside of the state, as far west as California, and included the aforementioned date at the Whiskey A Go-Go in Los Angeles. They even did some radio promos. Quirk couldn't remember exactly how much they were paid, but said "it wasn't much; and it wasn't enough to sustain the band", especially since Quirk was married and had a child and Heric also had a wife to support. Delta promoted its groups and put on shows at Band Canyon, the venue Kehoe owned in Bay City. “I remember it starting out pretty legitimate,” Hocott says. “Then Kehoe and Atherton started telling me that they’d acquired the rights to the music and the names of these bigger bands like the Zombies and the Animals … I knew it was probably bullshit but I guess I didn’t care. I was happy to be working in music.” Hocott is the only Delta Promotions employee who would talk about the operation. Bill Kehoe died in 1990. As for Kehoe’s partner Jim Atherton, Tom Hocott heard a rumor he’d been shot in Grand Rapids a few years after Delta Promotions folded but there is no record of this occurring. Attempts to locate Atherton were unsuccessful. Hairaisers theatrical beards stay in place and remain comfortable for hours and hours due to the combination of the Swiss lace base and skin-tone spirit gum (sold separately) adhesive which work together with your skin to hold the beard firmly and flexibly in place giving you the opportunity to forget about your beard and focus on your performance.
