Lisztomania: 6 Reasons You Should Listen to The Mummies



Because everybody loves lists...

Ah, The Mummies. These guys were a garage punk band that operated out of the Bay Area in the late '80s/early '90s. Other than some pretty radical mummy costuming--which you can clearly see above--the band was known for touring in a Munsters-esque 1963 Pontiac ambulance, performing on specifically lo-fi/damaged equipement and their utter committal to released material on vinyl only. All those quirks made their Stooges-by-way-of-The Misfits and The Beach Boys sound that much better.

Man, bands like this just don't come around today...
