OK, there’s more to life than beer and weight loss. From time to time, I’ll throw a little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Extra into this blog.
One of the things I really enjoy is discovering new music. So I definitely miss hanging out at the listening stations at Tower Records for a couple hours at a time. Yeah, that was me. Or Corey. But now I can do almost the same thing on Amazon or Rhapsody.
This weekend I was flipping through the channels and something on HDNet caught my eye (and ear). It was a live concert of a ~10 member band (with horns and percussion) playing real cool funk-rock grooves! And…. get this…. they were all dressed as mummies!
Apparently, Here Come the Mummies have been around for about 10 years and have released 5 albums. For you DC area residents, they are playing at the State Theater in Falls Church on Thursday, March 24. Will I see you there?
Check out this clip on YouTube!

ReplyDeletespeaking of hdnet...have you watched 'drinking made easy' with zane lamprey? he goes from city to city checking out the local watering holes...its a pretty decent show...and zane lamprey is also a syracuse native, in fact he will be doing a show from syracuse this season...
Gotta get some booty baby! Not sure I could take two hours of this.

PJ - Definitely a fan of Zane and "DME" and his previous show "Three Sheets." I have 7 or 8 episodes of "DME" stacked up on the DVR.
ReplyDeleteRe: Mummies - one more thing... most of their songs are ... well, kinda filthy. A little repetitive sometimes, but funny and with an infectious groove.
OK, you got me. I spent some time watching these guys on YouTube and I love them! I'm in for the State Theater!
