Here Come The Mummies - CrypticHere Come The Mummies - Cryptic

The over-riding riddle to HCTM’s tightly-wrapped, “Cryptic,” is how did they manage to pack so much rousing good time party music in just one disc? Funky brass powers growling R&B sleaze, thundering cock-rock teases and manic Afro-Cuban fusions as, ” Cryptic,” rips through criminally simmering binges with a sizzling rhythm section equally at ease in heart-pounding ska as emotional Philly soul. Permanently on the prowl for rowdy romance, HCTM flaunt solid chops in a bevy of heavy gut-grabbing flash and smooth Rico Suave panache, slaying players in not so subtle double entendres ala King Creole and the Coconuts while dancing to hyperbolic salsa like a hot-blooded Miami Sound Machine. A guaranteed uproarious voyage, the shrouded dowagers of get-down sounds play Madison’s Majestic Theater Oct. 19th.
