The Mummies
The Mummies are an American garage punk band formed in San Bruno, California, in 1988. Exhibiting a defiantly raw and lo-fi sound, they dubbed "budget rock", the Mummies' rebellious attitude and distinctive performance costumes exerted a major influence on later emerging garage punk and garage rock revival acts.
Their recorded output was intentionally completed with poor, cheap equipment, including their first and only studio album Never Been Caught, which was released after the group's initial break-up. Since then, the Mummies have engaged in several positively-received reunion concerts and tours, including appearances in Europe and the US sporadically through to recent years.
In 2020, the band announced that they had been working on a movie directed by independent filmmaker, Jim Garanto and written by the band.
