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 ↴
Fall from the sky last night
Picked it up and it burned my hand
But I said, "That's all right."
Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
Meteorite, all right all right
I took it home and put it down
In a bucket full of ice
I don't believe it's radioactive
It looks too cute and nice
Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
Meteorites are out of site
But this ones place is in outer space
And if you wanna know, I'll tell you why
It's 'cause radiation makes you die
These days I don't feel too good
I think I'm going blind
The doctor says I got to lose it fast
But I can't leave it behind
'Cause it's my meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
