The Mummies were the ultimate lo-fi garage punk noise act, partially a nutty monster novelty group but also the best band playing in the style, hands down. There's a lot more than just caveman rock here too: surf, bluesy vamps, biker anthems, spooky haunted house themes, instructional dance numbers, and frat rock classics, all smashed up into one glorious fucked up mess. This first LP is only the beginning of a long stretch of classic material, but it's as good a place to start as any.
I saw the Mummies a couple of years back in France and they were killer!!!!! One of the best shows I have seen in a long time.
