Debut album "Taste The Blood Of Zombina & The Skeletones" was released in late 2002 and quickly sold out following gigs up and down the country with the likes of The Damned, The Misfits, and The Meteors.
In 2003 the band set up the finest glam/punk/rock 'n' roll club the Mersey area has ever seen - "Useless" happened every other Tuesday at the Zanzibar in Liverpool for almost 3 years before a change of name and venue saw new night "Zombie Hop" arrive (and then disappear soon after) at the Heaven & Hell club.
Late 2004 saw the release of debut single "I Was A Human Bomb For The F.B.I.", the first in a series of three limited edition 7" records which has now sold out. The "Mondo Zombina!" EP followed in July 2005, and gigs alongside Jayne County and Wednesday 13 in the UK as well as a short tour of Germany saw supplies of the second pressing of the album run out fast.
The final installment in the Zombina & The Skeletones 7" Trilogy - "Staci Stasis" - was released in November 2005 along with the third pressing of the debut album, with a new long player set for release in early 2006.

Zombina & The Skeletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Minutes to go but I'm not ready yet
Nothing goes with these shoes
And my keys don't seem to want me to find them
I'm gonna miss the action
Already too late for the coming attractions
All the good seats
And all the good boys
New shirt and a silver tongue
Old moves work good on a girl this young
I'm missin' all the fun
Stay home think about goin' out
So here's to absent fiends
And no one to unbutton my jeans
I'm missin' the movie show
Stay home think about makin' out
There's a bunch of kids at the disco
I'm stayin' home with tonsitlitis
Ice cream, vitamins, cold tea
And a bad mood
It was a double feature
Night of the ghouls
And the creature walks among us
Ans what's more I won't get no tongue tonight
The lyrics of Zombina & the Skeletones's song "At The Megaplex" describe the feeling of anticipation and disappointment of someone who is getting ready to go out to a horror show at the megaplex but realizes that they are running out of time and will probably miss the beginning of the movie. The singer is preoccupied with mundane things like finding their keys or choosing the right shoes, instead of focusing on getting to the theater on time. They know that they are going to miss the best parts of the movie, such as the coming attractions or getting a good seat.
Throughout the song, the singer is torn between going out and staying home. They are unsure if it's worth it to go out and mingle with the crowd, or if they should just stay home and daydream about going out. They feel like they are missing out on all the fun that's happening outside, but at the same time, they are not sure if they want to be part of it. The lyrics reflect the feeling of being caught between two worlds, wanting to experience new things but also feeling scared and unsure about getting out of one's comfort zone.
Overall, the lyrics of "At The Megaplex" capture the sense of anticipation and anxiety that often accompany social situations. They also highlight the challenges of being a young adult and trying to navigate the complexities of social life.
