The legendary, linen-wrapped lords of funk, Here Come the Mummies, have released their latest single, “Nomadic Life,” via Sphinxter Records. A bold, swaggering anthem dedicated to constant motion and the thrill of the next adventure, the track features the band’s signature airtight grooves and winking humor. It serves as the second preview of their highly anticipated Road Trip EP, which is set to arrive on January 16, 2026, following the release of the punchy escape anthem “Rubber Meets the Road.” The band, whose mysterious origins range from a pharaoh’s curse to reincarnated Grammy-winning session players, continues to solidify their reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in North America, bridging the gap between underground myth and mainstream funk-rock mastery.
The upcoming Road Trip EP expands this high-energy spirit into a full-length journey, featuring tracks like the mischievously titled “Backdoor” and the playfully cryptic “DTF” (Down Town Funk). To support the release, the Mummies are gearing up for a massive 2026 tour schedule, beginning with a headline appearance on Jam Cruise 22 in February before hitting theaters and casinos across the Midwest and South through the spring. With a live legacy that includes sharing stages with P-Funk and Al Green, as well as regular appearances on The Bob & Tom Show and Jimmy Fallon’s That’s My Jam, the band remains an unstoppable force of “Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave.” Fans can catch the new era of mayhem starting with “Nomadic Life,” currently streaming on all major digital platforms.
