HERE COME THE MUMMIES

They have the trappings of a one-trick gimmick, but Here Come the Mummies are a fire-breathing pop-funk combo. Under all that gauze and greasepaint lurks a crew of crack Nashville session pros, reportedly including a few Grammy winners. Swaggering horns, an in-the-pocket rhythm section that can swing from p-funk to ska, and wise-ass vocals that recall the reckless excess of Oingo Boingo all dovetail nicely into sweet funk-soul grooves that can make a dead man dance.
