Time more some more Funk. Cause that's exactly what the blog needs. Here Come The Mummies are somewhat of a novelty funk band you could say. Sort of gimmicky even. See the catch here is there about a dozen guys who are actively in the band, and wait for it, dress like mummies. Sounds pretty amusing right? Granted the songs are pretty amusing, the use of puns and entendre's are childish but solid. Musically though it's a really tight group of musicians. 'Carnal Carnival' delivers a good mix of the two. Of course the band members identities are remained hidden. It's been said that most are well known musicians who between em have won several awards and must hide to do the legal wranglings of the music business. Whatever the case is, the music is fun and funky. Perfect music for that house party you've been meaning to throw.
I got into these guys couple years back. There on some radio show in the morning and provided the soundtrack to my morning commute. I went home late dug up some of the tunes on the interwebs and was hooked. Solid horn section, jokes about sex. Ahh every adolescents dream. The band has put out several albums and tour around the south and midwest. 'Carnival' for me is the album with the best jokes in songs and all around solid funk. This of course is one of the records you put on when you're in a silly mood or ya wanna dance around awkwardly around the house. Either way, it's worth a listen.
