Fernie's First Annual Zombie Walk

Now there was a concept - stage a 'zombie walk', and invite Bubba Tres to provide the music.

Sure, nothing out of the ordinary could happen.....

The posters went up. The flyers went out - including instructions on how to make Zombie blood....

March 20th dawned quiet in the little town of Fernie. Unbeknownst to most, in the basement of the 'Underground' a show was being prepared for. Confetti blowers. LED lighting, more speakers and amplifiers than in the rest of the East Kootenay....

Nine PM rolled by... 'Good Neighbours' from Montreal opened the show with their worthwhile brand of mood music. The bar began to fill up with.... Zombies. first 3, then another 5, then there were 20 - 30 - 40 - 50, and the undead kept arriving... the room was packed....

On the stage there appeared Captain America, Batman, Thor, a Zombie drummer, and Big Bubba himself. With volume the band launched into Peanut Butter Tongue, drove right through Baba O'Riley, Utopia, War Pigs, George Froeman Grill, and about 30 other loud driving dancing songs. All done at '11' on the volume scale.

The Zombies never stopped.

Ok, they did take a break near midnight for the first annual Zombie Walk.

Romour has it they swarmed a van... I watched them walk down the street - right out of the movies.



The undead .... aim for the head - you need to take out the brains, or provide them with great music apparently, as the band brought them back inside for another hour of dancing and loud music.

The collected wisdom said that this was a top - 5 show for Bubba Tres.

If you haven't seen the boys in full flight, I highly recommend the experience.

Next show?????
