On October 1, Yep Roc Records will release Mondo Zombie Boogaloo, an album and tour celebrating Halloween, the most sinister day of them all.
The album is a collection of new music from the Fleshtones, Los Straitjackets and Southern Culture on the Skids. The set includes originals and standards from each band and promises to put listeners in a spooky mood for the Halloween season.
Tracks include “¡Ghostbusters!,” “Goo Goo Muck,” “Haunted Hipster” and a collaboration by the three bands on “Que Monstruos Son” (otherwise known as “The Monster Mash” en Español).
You can hear the Fleshtones’ version of “Ghoulman Confidential” — and see the album's entire track listing — below.
Mondo Zombie Boogaloo will be available on CD, digitally, and as a double LP on colored vinyl. The album’s cover features artwork by Steve Blickenstaff, known for his unforgettable work on the Cramps' 1984 album, Bad Music for Bad People.
Pre-sale orders for a limited number of tour bundles including T-shirts, posters, albums and tickets for each show will be available at mondozombieboogaloo.com.
