They were mummified a long time ago and only came out once or twice before getting stuck back in their sarcophagi for several thousands of years. Then the band got together in 1999. That’s what Mummy Cass told WGLT in an interview for Sound Ideas. Frontman Cass got together with Eddie Mummy around that time to create their eight-piece funk band Here Come the Mummies. They’re playing the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts on March 1.
