BEST live band on the planet!!
by guitarer on 10/31/10Vogue Theatre - IndianapolisYou can't beat Halloween weekend with the Mummies...unless it's New Year's Eve at the Egyptian Room with the Mummies (already got our VIP tickets!). Friday night they did a lot of their recently-released CD, (which we could tell some attendees weren't familiar with) but they did all their "hits" & had the crowd in a frenzy all evening. For those of us who'd listened a lot to the new release, "Carnal Carnival", it was the "greatest show on Earth"! There were so many fantastic moments, it's hard to single out just a few, but the lead trumpet player (Testa Verde) climbing onto the bar for a solo is always great; "Attack Of The Weiner Man" & "Pants" always bring down the house, plus Oozie & Java doing a baton-passing routine with their giant "Freak Flags" (during new song "Let Your Freak Flag Fly") is sure to be a mainstay in their set...as long as it's not a windy outdoor show! Here Come The Mummies are WORLD-CLASS musicians, next time they're around be sure to catch their act, the energy they expend is, in itself, something to witness, & the songs are some of the most-memorable/funny you'll ever hear. Do yourself a favor & pick up their DVD "Undead Live" from their web site for a hilarious introduction to The Mummies, before they COME to haunt a town near you!
