  The Guess Who

  The Guess Who, a Canadian rock band formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, found their greatest success in the late 60s and early 70s, under the leadership of singer/keyboardist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman. The band released eleven studio albums, all of which reached the charts in Canada and the United States. Their 1970 album, American Woman, reached number one in Canada, and the title track became the first Billboard number one hit by a Canadian group. The Guess Who went on to release five more albums that reached the top ten in Canada and charted fourteen Top 40 singles in the United States and more than thirty in Canada.

  Members of The Guess Who reunited for a short tour in 1983, and again from 2000 to 2003, with their last show taking place on July 30, 2003. Their final performance was before an estimated audience of 450,000 at the Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto SARS benefit concert.

  In 2024, Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman successfully reclaimed the name and trademark for The Guess Who.

  Here Come the Mummies

  Here Come the Mummies is an eight-piece funk-rock band of 5000 year-old Egyptian Mummies with a one-track mind. Their "Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave" is sure to get you into them (and possibly vice versa).

  Since their discovery, HCTM has been direct support for P-Funk, Al Green, Mavis Staples, KC and the Sunshine Band, and Cheap Trick; rocked Super Bowl Village; become a regular on The Bob and Tom Show; appeared on That’s My Jam with Jimmy Fallon; played massive festivals like Summer Fest, Summer Camp, Bluesfest Byron Bay, Musikfest, and Suwannee Hulaween; and sold tickets by the thousands across large swaths of North America. Maybe that’s why the ladies (and some dudes) can’t stop losing their minds over these mayhem-inducing mavens of mirth.

  Some say they were cursed after deflowering a great Pharaoh’s daughter. Others claim they are reincarnated Grammy-Winning studio musicians. Regardless, HCTM’s mysterious personas, cunning song-craft, and unrelenting live show will bend your brain, and melt your face. Get ready! Here Come The Mummies.

  HCTM is “way more than a mere novelty act” Sydney Morning Herald

  HCTM “‘KILLED’ it… Not only did they pack their stage - they were the hit of the night when they jumped on stage with moe. in front of 20,000.” - Jay Goldberg, Summer Camp Music Festival

  “Here Come The Mummies are one bad-ass band, a hybrid of Idris Muhammad, George Clinton, Ohio Players, and Earth, Wind & Fire.” -Blurt Magazine

  “A band unlike any other.” -examiner.com

  “That’s the most fun I've had in 20 years.” -Bob Kevoian, The Bob & Tom Show

  “Cock wobbling brilliant.” -Joe Elliott of Def Leppard
