San Francisco’s Sleep-offshoot Om have not released much by the way of new music since the 2012 studio effort Advaitic Songs, but the group has released a few live albums here and there during that time. Progressive metal act Zombi, meanwhile, used the pandemic lockdown like many others did: they recorded a sublimely eclectic album of classic rock covers entitled Zombi and Friends that featured an impressive list of guests that included Black's Daron Beck, The Sword's Bryan Richie, Zao's Jeff Gretz, and Trans Am's Philip Manley. That album can be heard here. It features covers of "Takin’ It To the Streets" by the Doobie Brothers and “America” by Neil Diamond (we told you it was eclectic!)

All dates for Om and Zombi this September and October can be found below.

I’ll likely see them in Berkeley. Intense live band.

Advaitic Songs is legendary. What happened to those guys? Run out of steam? Both Om and Sleep move at a snail's pace when it comes to releasing new music. Perhaps they have day jobs?
