Good news if you miss the Mummies after watching the “Planet of the Apes” video we posted earlier: The band is back from the grave (sorry) for a handful of reunion shows. (Don’t forget that stages will be invaded by an upcoming Gories and Oblivians Reunion Tour, too!)
After swearing that their 2008 reunion show in Spain would be their last, the spooky boys are bandaged up and hitting the road for some shows including a trio of US dates as well as a newly announced show in France and a mysterious show at an eight-day music festival somewhere in Sardegna, IT . (Keep reading for the complete tour schedule.)
The Mummies are a garage rock/punk rock/surf rock/whatever rock band from California that’s been tearing up record players since the late ’80s thanks to releases for labels such as Estrus and Telstar.
You could go to the band’s website to try to learn more about them, but this is what it will tell you:
“The Mummies were a stupid band.
This is their stupid website.
You cared about them enough to get this far.
Now you are stupid too.
That’s the Mummies’ curse.”
Awesome.
No word on whether the self-proclaimed “Kings of Budget Rock” are still touring in an old ambulance, but we sure hope so.
