by the way, we need more zombie volunteers...

The Day of the Zombie has finally arrived. Though you cower in basements and attics, they seem to see you through worm-eaten eye sockets, and you can hear the exposed bones of their fingertips scraping away at your flimsy barricades. Endless legions of undead shamble toward you in full force, an unstoppable apocalyptic swarm of ravenous corpses after just one thing: your flesh.

Friday, July 25, check your pulse at the door and join the Undeath March, a blood-drenched mob of zombies which will assail downtown Portland, OR with an unforgettable evening of horrific participatory street theatre. Beginning around 7 pm, zombies will assemble at the Everett Station Lofts (NW 6th and Everett). All are welcome to show up in full zombie attire (bloody wounds, ripped clothing, guts hanging out) though a team of dedicated Zombie Masters will help transform the living into flesh-craving corpses.

If you would like to help turn humans into zombies, send us a message! (www. myspace.

At approximately 8pm, the Undeath March of Portland begins! Prodded along by a special marching band from beyond the grave, we will shamble through downtown Portland, transforming participating humans into zombies and driving all else before us in terror, until our horde arrives at the doors of Dante’s Inferno, for a special evening dedicated to the unliving abominations in the audience. Undead in full attire gain admittance for $10, while the living must pay…$15.

DAY OF THE ZOMBIE

Ten years in the making, this full theatrical performance of Dan Abbott's zombie rock opera Day of the Zombie rises from the grave Friday the 25th. Written amongst the thriving mutant underground of Oakland, CA; including members of Hobo Gobbelins, Clan ov thee Bleeding Eye, 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.

More About CHICKENHED:

Chickenhed are a marauding band of party fiends and conceptual terrorists who cannot be handily summarized. From festivals to warehouses to the open streets, Chickenhed leaves no turn unstoned with their wild-eyed nihilistic quasi-religion of beats and beatings.
