They may be undead, but for now Here Come the Mummies\u2019 plans to play in Madison this week are regular dead.<\/p>\n
The Nashville-based funk band is postponing their July 19 date at Live on King Street, it was announced this morning<\/a>. One of its members \u201chas been in an accident and sustained a few injuries,\u201d though thankfully none are life-threatening. According to a post on the band\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>, it\u2019s guitarist\/lead vocalist Mummy Cass. Because Here Come the Mummies really<\/em> commit to their act, we don\u2019t know who Mummy Cass is; we don\u2019t know who any of them are. (Someone please call Brendan Fraser to help solve this mystery!)<\/p>\n The band will instead return to Madison for a rescheduled Live on King Street<\/a> on Aug. 23. Meanwhile, their openers \u2014 The People Brothers Band \u2014 will still perform a free show as scheduled on July 19, albeit inside the air conditioned Majestic. And that might be an upgrade, given that temperatures are expected to reach almost 100. So there\u2019s still no reason to stay home.<\/p>\n This marks the second postponement for Here Come the Mummies in as many weeks, as they also dropped out of<\/a> Fort Wayne, Indiana\u2019s Three Rivers Festival. That date was rescheduled for October, two months after we get our night out with the Mummies. So take that, Hoosiers.<\/p>\n In the meantime, here\u2019s a video of the band covering Portugal. The Man\u2019s<\/a> \u201cLive in the Moment.\u201d Weird recognize weird.<\/p>\n
