"Night of the Living Drums" is the fourth studio album by Australian electro dance rock act Rogue Traders. The album was initially set for release on June 25, 2010, however due to certain unknown reasons and troubles with the record label Sony Music the album was never released that year.^[1] After departing from the Sony Music record label, the album is now scheduled for release on November 11, 2011.

The album is the first release from the band with new lead singer Mindi Jackson who replaced Natalie Bassingthwaighte after departing from the band in 2009. The album also features a new drummer Peter Marin and the return of guitarist Tim Henwood, who left the band during 2008.
