Here Come The Mummies at The Tralf Music Hall
Did you ever miss a show where the next day you read the review or friends tell you what a great concert you missed? We've all done it so here is your forewarning not to miss the upcoming show at The Tralf with Here Come The Mummies. Continue reading below for the low down on this hot and not to be missed show.
The Tralf Music Hall
622 Main St. Buffalo, NY 14202
7 pm Doors/ 8 pm Show
Tickets $20.00 advance/$22.00 day of show
If you believe their biography, Nashville-based funk band Here Come The Mummies has been playing together since the time of the ancients, cursed to wander the earth and perform as punishment for sullying the Pharoah's daughters. While a bit of a tall tale, Here Come The Mummies will rock your socks off.
The group indeed performs in full mummy regalia (not to be confused with the 90's San Francisco-based garage rock band of the same name), and they keep their true identities hidden. It is speculated that their membership includes a number of well-respected Nashville musicians, and that the occasional superstar artist will drop in as a guest to perform with the band while on the road (rumors circulated of Neil Diamond among others). All of this, is of course, conjecture (perhaps to keep other record deals in place), but Here Come The Mummies stir up a raucous, often bawdy set of funk, R&B and rock 'n roll. With songs such as "Libido Knievel" and "Fenk Shui", Here Come the Mummies clearly have mastered the art of double entendres. If you don't believe it, just check out their holiday greeting, "Carol of the Belts" which features a chorus line of mummies. well, cow-belting out the carol (http://www.herecomethemummies.com/cowbelt).
Their live shows are legendary - an unforgettable evening of non-stop, high energy party music . As one fan recently posted, "[Here Come The Mummies are] brilliantly funny, somewhat insane, just dirty enough to make you feel a little naughty for loving them so much.". Don't miss this night of "terrifying funk from the grave"!
