LINCOLN, Neb. — The Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska, hosted an electrifying night of music, featuring the "terrifying funk from beyond the grave" by Here Come the Mummies and their opening act, Nashville's Post Sex Nachos. This high-energy concert blended funky rock vibes, genre-bending pop-rock-indie tunes, and spooky theatrics, creating an unforgettable experience for fans of live music performances in Lincoln.

Post Sex Nachos Ignite the Stage

Post Sex Nachos, a five-piece band from Nashville, Tennessee, kicked off the evening with a dynamic set that won over the crowd. The band, featuring Mitch Broddon on lead guitar, Sammy Elfanbaum on vocals and rhythm guitar, Kevin Jerez on keyboards, Chase Mueller on bass, and Hunter Pendleton on drums, showcased their genre-blending sound. Their music, perfect for fans of indie rock concerts in Nashville, combines catchy melodies with infectious energy, encouraging the audience to sing and dance along.

Despite a challenging start to their tour—thousands of dollars in equipment stolen in Wichita—Post Sex Nachos delivered a stellar performance. The band played hits like "Talk About It," "Mushroom Cloud," and "Growing Old," with each member shining. Elfanbaum’s powerful vocals and engaging stage presence, paired with Broddon’s precise guitar riffs, kept the crowd captivated. Mueller’s charismatic basslines, Jerez’s masterful keyboard work, and Pendleton’s energetic drumming created a cohesive, fun-filled set. By the end, the audience was buzzing, with many purchasing the band’s vinyl records post-performance.

Post Sex Nachos, with hundreds of thousands of streams on platforms like Spotify, are poised for greater success. Their recent album, Prima/Vera, released earlier this year, is available for purchase, along with merchandise, at postsexnachos.com. For fans of up-and-coming indie rock bands, their performance was a highlight, rivaling their notable Lollapalooza set.

Here Come the Mummies Bring Spooky Funk to Life

Headliners Here Come the Mummies, an eight-piece funk-rock band from Nashville, took the stage with their signature theatrical flair. Known for their mummy personas and anonymous identities—Mummy Cass, Eddie Mummy, K.W. Tut, Spaz, The Pole!, Midnight Mummy, Dr. Yo, Highlander, and HPOD (High Priest of Death)—the band delivered a performance that was equal parts concert and spectacle. Their unique blend of funk, rock, and jazz, perfect for fans of live funk music events, kept the audience dancing all night.

Since forming in the early 2000s, Here Come the Mummies have released 10 studio albums, mastering their craft over decades. Their set began with a crowd-pleasing drumline march, setting the tone for a high-energy show. Instruments like tenor and bari sax, trumpet, guitar, bass, keys, tambourine, talk box, and various percussion instruments created a rich, layered sound. The band’s synchronized choreography, drumstick tosses, and playful antics—like sharing pizza with the crowd—added to the festive atmosphere.

The performance was a perfect kickoff to the Halloween season, blending spooky vibes with family-friendly fun. The saxophone and trumpet added jazzy elements, while the percussion drove the funk-heavy beats. Fans of all ages, from young concertgoers to seasoned attendees, sang along and embraced the lively energy.
