Vamos fazer um teste de postar o "Momento MP3 MD", que já envio para uma turminha de amigos há alguns anos, em forma de blog agora (algumas pessoas já vinham me aconselhando sobre isso de blog há algum tempo)!
Vamos começar pelo momento mp3 de número 206, com a banda "The Mummies"!
Para quem recebe por e-mail, mandei a música "Wild Mutha" em mp3 anexo (não consegui fazer isso aqui na ferramenta do blog ainda -- nem sei se é possível, rsrs)
Mas vejam a música "Stronger Than Dirt" no link do Youtube:
Essa banda é bem doida: os caras fazem shows fantasiados de múmia! Muita doideira!!! ;-)>
É isso! Talvez eu coloque as outras 205 edições um dia no blog, quem sabe, preciso aprender a usar isso direito, rsrs

Só isto, faz-nos atentar imediatamente à banda.
citando…«Wow! Not bad for a band that averaged about forty-five watts of power on stage. And to all the so-called Mummies fans and die-hard record collectors, here’s a big F-U-C-K Y-O-U! ! ! Popularity always takes the piss out of good things.»

[edit]Band History
Originally hailing from San Mateo, California, the band was formed by Trent Ruane (organ, vocals), Maz Kattuah (bass), Larry Winther (guitar) and Russell Quan (drums).[1] They became a key part of San Francisco's burgeoning garage punk scene, along with The Phantom Surfers. With influences of surf rock, frat rock, and 1950s and 1960s garage rock bands such as The Sonics and more contemporary garage punk bands like Thee Mighty Caesars the Mummies eschewed the contemporary rock music of their time. Their first show was at the Chi Chi Club in San Francisco in December 1988. The Mummies are especially known for their matching, tattered mummy costumes they wore on stage and their impertinent and insulting attitude that they brought with them.[2] They created and promoted the concept of 'Budget Rock', which rejected professionalism and star status in favor of a simplified do-it-yourself aesthetic.[3] As part of this concept they performed and recorded only on outdated and often damaged equipment. For a tour vehicle they used a garishly painted 1963 Pontiac ambulance. As part of their lo-fi manifesto, they released their music only on vinyl for many years, allowing 'official' CD format releases only in the 2000s.[2][3] Billy Childish would later say that The Mummies were the only garage group he really loved.[4]
The band's first single "That Girl" was recorded in furniture warehouse in San Francisco. It was released on their own Pre-B.S. label, with further singles following on labels such as Estrus, Telstar, Regal Select, and Rekkids.[3] These early singles were compiled for the band's first long player, The Mummies Play Their Own Records, in 1990.[3] The following year Crypt records sent Mike Mariconda to help the band record their debut album proper. Recorded in the back of a cabinet shop in Belmont Ca, the band rejected the material as they preferred the lo-fi sound of their earlier releases.[1] This material was later released on the bootleg album Fuck the Mummies.[1] They started again, and the results were released in 1992 as Never been Caught.[1] They toured the US in 1991, playing with Childish's Thee Headcoatson their tour of Northwest America, but broke up on New Year's Day 1992, shortly before Never Been Caught was released. They later reunited for two European tours, in 1993 and 1994.[1] The '94 tour had Beez from the Smugglers filling in on bass.[3] Their next LP, a fake live album 'Party at Steve's House,' was actually recorded at an industrial warehouse in Martinez, CA with Darrin of Supercharger playing bass. Kattuah has been involved in several bands since the demise of the Mummies, with his current project being Christina and the Bippies. Russell Quan has been involved in numerous projects since the early nineties, including the Count Backwurds, the Dukes of Hamburg, the Easys, the Phantom Surfers, the Flakes, the Bippies and the Bobbyteens. He is somewhat of a celebrity amongst garage aficionados for his playing, for his discovery/promotion of the band Supercharger, and for the way he dances. Larry Winther played guitar and wrote or co-wrote a handful songs for San Francisco indie rock band The Orange Peels for seven years.[3] At one time Trent Ruane played with the Phantom Surfers and the Untamed Youth, but has maintained a low public profile since the Mummies' breakup. Larry Winther and Maz Kattuah also played in an early Foster City, California band called The Batmen. The band reunited in 2003, releasing "Death by Unga Bunga" on CD only, leaving behind their original "vinyl only" ethos.
The Mummies played an unannounced show in June 2008 at the Stork Club in Oakland, Cal. as well as a show in October 2008 in Valencia, Spain at the Funtastic Dracula Carnival.[5]
