The Mummies

The Mummies were from San Fransisco, but they played Maxwell's a bunch... unless there's some different Mummies.

Well, the band the Myddle Class is from NJ.  This group had Dave Palmer who went onto Steely Dan  and Charles Larkey who was married to Carole King.  This way you can now play Porpoise Song (Theme from Head) on your program.  Also, it should be noted that The Myddle Class played with the Velvet Underground for one of the VU's very first shows @ Summit, NJ High School.

I'm pretty sure I saw at least a few of those bands at some shows at the Harwan Theatre. And/or some JC Dobbs 5$ shows.  Hard to remember exactly, because alot of the NJHC bands had a lot of samey samey sounding names.

Ha! I didn't know the New Jersey thing was a part of the act -- what a deep schtick. In a way, it's kinda like singing with a fake British accent. It's so funny to since they are a Bay Area band, but I think the main guy isn't even a transplant from NJ, but from Detroit or elsewhere in the midwest.

Wonderful news:

Frontiers Records has announced the signing of TRIXTER for the worldwide release of the band's reunion album in the spring of 2012.

Formed in Paramus, New Jersey in 1984, TRIXTER's self-titled debut album attained gold status (reaching #28 on The Billboard 200 in 1990), and spawned three minor hit singles: "Surrender" (#72), "One In A Million" (#75), and "Give It To Me Good" (#65). Despite the fact that none of the singles made the Top 40 or garnered much radio airplay, the videos for all three tunes were in heavy rotation on MTV (especially "Give It To Me Good", which was #1 on the channel for several weeks). A follow-up effort, "Hear", came out in 1992, but failed to reach the same commercial heights. The band recorded an album of cover songs, "Undercovers", in 1994, which garnered little commercial success, and TRIXTER broke up shortly after its release.

TRIXTER announced the reunion of its original lineup in 2007 and has since played a number of shows, including the Rocklahoma festival in 2008.

Comments TRIXTER guitarist Steve Brown: "The band has been playing together for the last four years, so making a new record is the next logical step. We are all very excited.

"The new CD will be entitled 'New Audio Machine' and is a classic style melodic hard rock album. All the sounds people have loved about TRIXTER will be there... Great songs, big guitar riffs, catchy vocals and a huge bottom end. A total big rock production!!!"
