Back in the ’90s, the Mommyheads were a quirky, pop-leaning indie-rock band with a cult following that achieved virtually no commercial success whatsoever. The same can be said about far too many other groups from the era, but what separated the Mommyheads from their peers was just how good these musicians were. Although they broke up in 1998, they played the occasional show, which led to them recording a new album, You’re Not A Dream, a decade later. On October 19, the Dromedary label is issuing Finest Specimens, a 21-track, career-spanning retrospective featuring a handful of previously unreleased live tracks. Every day between now and then, MAGNET is premiering a live video from the May 22 show the Mommyheads played at the Cave Theater in Sundyberg, Sweden. Today’s video is for “Bingham’s Hole,” one of the band’s most popular songs and setlist staple.
