It's nice to see a rock group get all wrapped up in their music.

[@TANTRUMGASM]

that comment had me in stitches

yeah but things really began to unravel once they found success and the band broke up, so thanks to the uploader for digging this up again for us all. my life would be cursed without it.

This epic performance should be put on a space probe & launched as a warning to alien invaders who wish to do earth harm. I rate it as al bundy would say "Two things Up!"😂

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

I'm kind of behind this idea. You are clearly r3t@rded but even full blown turdds shit out the odd brilliance. Aliens don't need to intervene. Republicans are doing it for them.

[@scottconnors8419]

I was visiting calif in like early 90,s and happened to stumble onto this band playing in a bar by campus...was one hell of a fun night totally unexpected.. then saw the feederz the next night...mummies literally kicked ass live in small bar....

Yes, I hope the aliens that receive this probe can understand how wild and dangerous The Mummies are. Worst PBS performance of all times is a start lol

This would not scare space aliens away, they would realize after watching it what an incredibly advanced species we actually are, we only look like the stupidest dumb-fucks in the galaxy.

I love the music, but as a keyboard player, what I'm most impressed by is that fucking rock solid keyboard stand

[@storytimewithunclekumaran5004]

he had it up on 1 leg at times.

[@davidstevenson9517]

AND he got his leg over!

It's attached to the organ. Farfisas had legs that folded out of the bottom

They were around in the late 80s and didn't last long. But I think that was the point. Occasionally perform together since disbanding in the early 90s. Three members went on to form The Phantom Surfers who was associated with the garage/bubblegum punk of the 90s alla empTy and Lookout! They still exist in some form today.
