3.0 out of 5 stars Mummydogs - self-titled (Frontier), January 20, 2005

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Band was apparently named after a widely-marketed frankfurter.This is the group's first effort.I recieved this disc as a gift,more or less and I thought that it deserved a review.Their music is like grungy pop,with what I believe has some wide appeal potential.Tracks that I thought showed off the band's talent were "Fly Away","Red Bandana",the inspiring "Paul Of The Jungle",the Skip James cover "Look At The People" and their Johnny Thunders cover "Ask Me No Questions".Line-up:Guy Kyser-guitar&vocals;his spouse-Johanna Kyser-keyboards&vocals,Carry Rodda-bass and Paul Takushi-drums.An okay find.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning achievement, December 1, 2002

By	Guy Kyser (Woodland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Listening to this album was like hearing the whole history of music and civilization, from possum-sized primates banging on their nuts to post-modern infrastructure collapse. Zarathustral in its scope. I pity any bands that try to make another album in the wake of this behemoth. Vocals are a little froggy here and there, but what the hey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, July 14, 2003

By	"athena_lady2003" (Chico, CA) - See all my reviews

So happy to see Guy Kyser return to music after taking about 10 years off...
Mummydogs are different than Thin White Rope, more low key and bluesy. Love the way Guy and Jo's voices blend, that somewhat makes up for having no Roger Kunkel dueling guitars! Speaking of cover versions, the Mummydogs seem to have struck gold by having their cover version of Johnny Thunders' "Ask Me No Questions" used in a Las Vegas tourism commercial. I keep hearing it during Dodger games-- irony?
