Topic: Band 'Here Come The Mummies'

[RickZ]

Found this at Ace.  Really funny.  A group of Nashville musicians (supposedly with many Grammies under their collective belts) who perform in mummy costumes.  From their website, Here Comes The Mummies:

Chances are, if you frequent shows at the Mississippi Moon Bar, you've caught their act. If you haven't, they're one that's hard to miss.

Known for performing clad from head to toe in full mummy attire, Here Come the Mummies is a funk/R&B band untombed out of Nashville, Tenn., in 2002. While identities of the band members have never been revealed, it's been rumored that there are several Grammy Award-winners among the group.

There's Mummy Cass (guitar, lead vocals), Java Mummy (percussion, vocals), Eddie Mummy (drums, vocals), Mummy Spaz (keyboards), K.W. Tut (bass, vocals), Mummy Rah (tenor sax), The Flu (baritone sax), Teste Verde (trumpet), Ramses Mummy (bass), Bucking Blanco (trumpet), Midnight Mummy (baritone sax), The Pole (bass) and B.B. Queen (trumpet).

Outside their mummified personas, members are believed to be under contract to various record labels, hiding their identities so as to prevent contract disputes while performing.

For mummies, the 13 of them have gotten around, performing primarily throughout the South and the Midwest.

A really funky sound.  Quite entertaining.

Here's a winner, Attack of the Weiner Man.

I think they're white guys playing danceable music, who don't want to be banned in Massachusetts.

I'd seen the "Attack of the Wiener Man" years ago. The other 2 are new to me. Pretty cool.
