The Mummies @ The 9:30 Club, Washington D.C., 12/30/1991
Mummies

"Remember that show in Spain last year? That one and only show we were gonna do? Yeah, well we lied. And if you don't like it, put yer ear buds back in and go listen to yer Bob Fuckin' Dylan again.

Back by popular demand, the Kings of Budget Rockā„¢ will be pulling dubbble-trubble on June 9th 2009, at the scene of the last U.S. Mummies show (back in '91). That's right, count 'em: TWO sets. Those slave drivers at Maxwell's really know how to extract that pound of flesh. And all on account of a silly little misunderstanding about a bar tab. Fer Chrisssakes! That was 18 years ago, guys! Cut us a little slack!! [The Mummies]

BOTH shows at Maxwell's are already sold out, but tickets are still on sale now for a show the very next day, June 10th, at Southpaw in Brooklyn. WFMU has some MP3s. Videos below...

@gregory 8:22 pm "is this good or bad?????"

Why do you need affirmation on whether you like it or not?

It's like my prayers have been answered. I am pinching myself right now to see if it's true.

Oh no, this is not good at all.
It is bad.
Very, very bad.

You Gregory, and anyone else who has to ask, "Is this good or bad?????*" should stay far away from these shows.

Thank you in advance.


*why so many question marks?
In the future one will do, thank you.

For anyone who's never heard of the Mummies:

1. Buy tickets NOW.
2. Buy "Never Been Caught."
3. Thank me later.

anyone have 2 extras?

Posted by wembley | April 9, 2009 12:24 PM

Fuck those preppy boy Black Lips, this is the real garage rock.

Posted by Your Ass Is Next In Line | April 9, 2009 4:19 PM

BV, saw your Twit about seeing them now as opposed to back in 1991; I'm telling you, they've barely lost a step. The Mummies still do it up REAL good....

Posted by Rajah of Rehab | April 10, 2009 11:44 AM

anyone willing to sell tickets looking for two, i'm willing to buy for 60 a ticket... email is jamesquinn4@gmail.com

Posted by Desperate for tickets | May 11, 2009 12:28 AM

any tickets? anyone out there? perhaps a last minute emergency. gotta get rid of 'em. how about instead of giving them to someone that doesn't realize who the mummies are, give them to someone who will stay awake for the rest of the week for fear he'll forget every second of the show.

Fuck Scalpers and Fuck the Dorks who buy tickets from them.

In fact, fuck the dorks who buy tickets from scalpers extra hard; it just encourages the sociopathic dirtbags who feel entitled to take other people's money for nothing and validates their anti-social behavior.
