The Mummies

Categories: Entertainment
  • The Mummies were a Northern California garage rock- punk band that formed in 1988 and were highly influential on the subsequent garage revival of the '90s, as well as the mainstream wave of garage punk that emerged in the early-2000s. The band's own influences included 1960s bands like The Sonics, as well as the godfather of the '90s revival, English artist Billy Childish. The Mummies' trademark was their mummy costumes, which seemed to come straight out of 1950s horror film kitsch. The band also promoted a philosophy of "Budget Rock," eschewing professionalism and technical skill.
