Day 31…
The Mummies are a Budget Rock (aka stoopid, messy, stripped-down Garage Rock) band with no pretenses of anything other than their mission to entertain. Coming across like a hybrid version of Man… or Astoman? combined with The Sonics combined with that episode of The Monkees where all the bands they knew had gimmicks where they dressed up in wacky costumes (The Jolly Green Giants, The Foreign Agents, The Four Martians and so forth)… but much, much more primitive.
After years of steadfastly railing against CD’s and only releasing all their previous albums on vinyl, The Mummies finally relented and Death By Unga Bunga!! (their second CD release) pulls together a cross-section of their hidden, obscure and OOP songs that had previously only appeared on hard to find 45’s and, from the sound of it, wax cylinders. Maybe it’s cheating a bit to include this on my list for the best of the Nothings, but I’m gonna take a page out of The Mummies’ playbook and just say, “screw it… let’s do it”.
