In 1997, Youngest Aki (Akiko Hosoya) joined the group on lead guitar.

In 1999, Rising Yuki-San married and left the band. I*D*M*U (Mayuko Iida) joined as their drummer.

In 2000, Naru☆Shin (Naru Ishizuka, now a member of Shonen Knife) joined the band, replacing Natsu Summer on bass.

Around 2001 (precise date unknown) Aki left the band.

In 2018, after being on hiatus, the band was reformed with a new line-up, with Akibon on lead guitar, Agya on drums and Yuko on bass.

Video Game Easter Egg
Mummy the Peepshow was featured as an easter egg in the 2005 video game Far Cry Instincts for the Xbox console. Entering a special button combination on the controller in the video game's Map Editor would reveal a special message that says "MtP! Maki! Naru! Mayu! Aki!", referencing the Electric Rollergirl line up of the band.
