Zombie Blues is a rock band founded by the Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist David Chalmers, who serves as the lead singer of the band.[1][2][3] Its name comes from Chalmers' philosophical zombie thought experiment—a hypothetical creature that looks like humans but lacks consciousness.[1]

The band's only song, "The Zombie Blues", has been performed at various cognitive science and philosophy conventions,[4][5] including Qualia Fest.[1][3] Its core lyrics include:

I act like you act, I do what you do / But I don’t know, what it’s like to be you / What consciousness is, I ain’t got a clue / I got the zombie blues.

— David Chalmers[4][1][5]

The Irish Times wrote, "With his leather jacket and biker’s haircut, David Chalmers is about the closest thing philosophy has to a rock star these days."[4]
