TThe quartet known as Mumpsy all seem to gravitate towards the melodies of early and mid-sixties Brit Pop bands. Punk expression lends itself via the Misfits and the Stooges, and that's what adds to the excitement of seeing Mumpsy play. Melody and harmonies are abound, yet they are delivered in a swirl of madness and energy.
With the release of their 2005 debut LP, "The Exuberance of Peachtree," Mumpsy positioned themselves with the likes of early Of Montreal and lo-fi charm. In 2007, the EP "3 People" was met with universal critical acclaim. They performed at CineVegas 07 for the "Ocean's 13" after party at the Stratosphere Hotel in June 2007 after a national outing in May billed as the "3 Bands in One Van" tour. Since their incept, Mumpsy has logged over 130 shows, and the list keeps growing. Mumpsy has shared the stage with The Walkmen, Maritime, Vampire Weekend, Black Kids, Blitzen Trapper, Norma Jean and Tres Bien to name a few. They have played throughout the east coast, and released two highly praised albums, Exuberance of Peachtree and 3 People. The band’s lost Post*Records release, Cat and Canary was released in fall 2008. Since then they have self-released some great stuff..check it out on their Myspace yo.
