Mugguomp was an Algonquian word meaning "person of importance" or "war leader." Charles Anderson Dana, editor of the now-defunct New York Sun, gave the Mugwumps their political moniker, often portrayed as "fence-sitters," with part of their body on the side of the Democrats and the other on the side of the Republicans. However, Geoffroy & Kolombo refer to William Burroughs' drug-induced reptile weirdos from Naked Lunch. Mugwump's music is fat, warm & sexy -- classic house with new magic tricks.
