Words by Matt Heredos

If the start of 2013 is any indication of what this band will do this year, we might be in for the year of The Mundies. The four members of The Mundies: Kris Fricks on guitar and vocals, Nick Johnson on bass, Dexter White on keyboards and vocals, and Phillip Fricks on drums, have been on the rise for a while now in the Bloomington and now Indianapolis music scenes.

On March 16th, The Mundies returned to one of the staple venues of the Indy music scene, the Mousetrap in Broad Ripple. On this night they participated in a battle of the bands along with other acts: Tonal Caravan, Flatland Harmony Experience, Shaggy Wonda, and MC Sparkplug. However, on this night the fans in attendance voted The Mundies as the best performers and what did this get them? Just a slot to perform at one of the longest running and most successful music festivals of the Midwest: Summer Camp! To be on the same festival bill as bands such as Moe, Umphrey’s Mcgee, and the Trey Anastasio Band, is quite a breakthrough for any band. As if playing at Summer Camp wasn’t enough, The Mundies are also releasing their debut album Twist and Tear during their show at the Mousetrap this Friday, April 5th.
