Iqembu Mummies lasungulwa ngo-1988 (E-USA, California). Isitayela somculo "i-punk yegalaji". Leli qembu labesilisa lalihlanganisa: uTrent Ruane (umculi wezwi, i-organ), uMaz Catua (oshaya ibhesi), uLarry Winter (oshaya isiginci), uRussell Kwon (umshayi wezigubhu).
Amakhonsathi okuqala ayevame ukubanjelwa emakhonsathini afanayo nelinye iqembu elimele isiqondiso se-The Phantom Surfers. Isiteji esiyinhloko esikhathini sokuqala kwakuyidolobha laseSan Francisco. Isithombe sesiteji sikhethwe ngokusho kwegama: izingubo zomama ezidabukile ezenziwe ngamabhandeshi.
Isici esihlukile sesiqondiso "segalaji punk" ijubane eliphezulu lokusebenza, ukuba khona kwamaculo e-jazz, kanye nokungabikho kokucutshungulwa komsindo okwengeziwe. Ukuqoshwa kuvame ukudalwa ngokuzimela, ekhaya.
Iqembu lingabhekwa "elincane", ngomqondo omuhle wegama. AbakwaMummies bashayela baya emakhonsathini abo ngeveni elidala lango-1963 lasePontiac. Imoto yayinombala ogqamile futhi yenziwe isitayela njenge-ambulensi.
Kuze kube ngasekuqaleni kwawo-2000, okuqoshiwe kwebhendi kwakutholakala kuphela ku-vinyl. Ithimba liphikisana nokukhishwa kabusha kwamaculo alo ku-CD. Abadlali badlala ngezinsimbi eziphelelwe yisikhathi ngokomthetho. Ingqikithi yombono: "itshe lesabelomali" (idwala ekusebenzeni "kwesabelomali") kanye nesiqondiso sobuhle se-"DIY", lapho isimo nobungcweti kungabonakali. Ongoti abaningi balithanda kakhulu iqembu ngenxa yalokhu. Isibonelo: umculi wesiNgisi odumile nomculi u-Billy Chayldish ubheke iqembu njengeliyintandokazi yakhe nelihamba phambili phakathi kwabaculi basegaraji.
Ukudala kwenkathi yokuqala ye-The Mummies
Ikhonsathi yokuqala ye-Mummies yenzeka eChi Chi Club ngo-1988 (eSan Francisco). Izikhathi zakuqala zokudala zathonywa kakhulu i-surf rock yama-60s kanye nemisebenzi yamabhendi amadala egaraji njenge-The Sonics. Okuthile kwamukelwa emsebenzini wabantu ababephila ngaleso sikhathi ekuqondeni "i-punk yegalaji" (kusuka kuThee Mighty Caesars). Amathrendi amasha nezinguquko zinqatshelwe yi-The Mummies, isitayela sahlala singashintshile phakathi naso sonke isikhathi sokusebenza okusebenzayo.
Iqembu laqopha ingoma yalo yokuqala endaweni yokugcina ifenisha. Leyo Gril yaphuma ngo-1990 futhi yaphinde yakhululwa eminyakeni eyisithupha kamuva ngo-1996. Le ngoma nezinye izingoma zangaleso sikhathi (Isibonelo: "Skinny Minnie") zakhululwa ku-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu ethi "Ama-Mummies Adlala Amarekhodi Awo" ngawo lowo nyaka ka-1990.
Isinyathelo esilandelayo kwaba ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu yobude obugcwele yeqembu. Amakamelo angemuva esitolo sezinsimbi zomculo akhethwa njengendawo yokuqopha. UMike Marikonda ubekhona, ethunyelwe ngabakwaCrypt Record." Isipiliyoni sokuqala asizange siphumelele futhi i-Mummies yenqaba ukukhipha izingoma ezirekhodiwe ngaleso sikhathi.
Kwakungeyona ikhwalithi yokusebenza, kodwa iqiniso lokuthi amalungu eqembu ngokwawo awazange athande umsindo enguqulweni entsha. Kamuva, izingoma ezingakhishiwe zafakwa kuhlelo oluhlukile lwe-"Fuck the Mummies".
Bazama futhi ngo-92, futhi kulokhu ngempumelelo. I-Never been Caught, i-albhamu yobude obugcwele yeqembu, ikhishiwe.
Ukudala kwesikhathi sekwephuzile kanye nokuqedwa komsebenzi ohlanganyelwe
Ukuvakasha kwe-Mummies e-United States kwenzeka ngo-91. Uhambo lwabelwe ibhendi yaseBrithani yokuqondisa egalaji i-Thee Headcoats. Ekupheleni kohambo, ibhendi ikhiphe i-albhamu yabo yesibili ethi "Never Been Caught".
Leli qembu lahlakazeka ngokusemthethweni ngo-1992 ngenxa yokungaboni ngaso linye kwangaphakathi.
Imizamo yokuvuselela i-The Mummies
Ibhendi yahlangana izikhathi eziningana phakathi kuka-1993 no-1994 futhi yaqopha i-albhamu yabo yesithathu ethi Party eSteve's House. Leli qoqo lakhiwe endaweni yokugcina impahla yezimboni. UDarrin (ibhendi ye-Supecharger) wabe wamenywa njengomdlali webhesi. Phakathi nale minyaka, leli qembu labamba izinkambo ezimbili eYurophu. Ohambweni lwesibili, babeno-Beez (omele i-The Smugglers) ngebhesi.
Omunye umzamo wokuhlanganisa iqembu kwenzeka ngo-2003. Khona-ke irekhodi labo le-vinyl elithi "Ukufa ngu-Unga Bunga" laphinde lakhishwa ku-disc.
Akuzange kwenzeke ukuthi kubuyele ukusebenza ngokuhlanganyela ngokuqhubekayo. AbakwaMummies babehlangana ngezikhathi ezithile njengengxenye yemidlalo ehlukene yaseMelika neyaseYurophu. Izibonelo: Ngo-2008, e-Auckland ("Stork Club"), umcimbi awuzange umenyezelwe ngaphambilini.
Ngawo lowo nyaka, ibhendi yacula emikhosini enetimu eSpain. Ithimba labamba iqhaza ku-Paris Music Festival (2009). I-American Budget Rock Festival (iSan Francisco) isingathe leli qembu kabili ngo-2009.
Ngesikhathi somsebenzi wabo, leli qembu lakha ama-albhamu anobude obu-3, amarekhodi ayi-6 (amanye aphinde akhishwa kuma-CD), izingoma eziyi-17. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imisebenzi yamaciko ifakiwe kuma-albhamu amaningi ezinhlobo zomculo. Kwakukhona izincwadi ezinjalo ezihlangene ezingu-8 sezizonke.
Amaqiniso athakazelisayo mayelana nabahlanganyeli
- Ngemva kokuhlukana kwe-The Mummies, umshayi webhesi ka-Maz Catua wathatha iphrojekthi kaChristina kanye ne-Bippies.
- URussell Kwon (oshaya isigubhu) usekele iqembu leSupercharger. Ongoti baqaphela isitayela esingavamile, esiyingqayizivele sokudlala insimbi nendlela engavamile yokudansa yalo mdlali.
- U-Larry Winter waqhubeka nomkhuba wakhe ozimele esigincini, eqamba izingoma.
- UTrent Ruane (i-ogani kanye namazwi) udlale ne-The Untamed Youth kanye ne-The Phantom Surfers ngemva kokuhlukana kwe-The Mummies.

I-Mummies kufanele inikezwe udumo ngokungaguquguquki kwabo ekulandeleni izimiso "ze-budget rock". Kuwo wonke umsebenzi wabo, leli qembu liqophe amathrekhi alo endaweni yomoya efana nesitayela. Kwasetshenziswa izinsimbi ezigugile kanye nendlela elula yokucubungula umsindo.
Ukuqashelwa phakathi kwabalandeli bohlobo kuqinisekiswa ukuvakasha okuphindaphindiwe okuphumelelayo kulo lonke elaseMelika naseYurophu. Leli qembu lilotshwe kuze kube phakade emlandweni wenhlangano ye-"garage punk", amalungu alo angaphambili asaqhubeka nomsebenzi wawo.
