Excuse me if I'm being naive but what is STOMP? Thanks! -->-Lance--- mclance@en.com

Hi Lance, you just wrote: LMG> Excuse me if I'm being naive but what is STOMP? yes - I was asking me the same some minutes ago... There was a techno-house mag called STOMP in germany once but I don't think it went on a world tour. According to those dates STOMP must be kind of unknown, unimportant or just small, new, old... :-) greetingz, Harald +--------------------------------------------------+ | Internet: harald.schmitz@hrz.uni-essen.de | | hschmitz@apolonia.essen.rhein-ruhr.de | |==================================================| | WWW -> http://rave.city.de/wicked | | > Techno, Ruhrarea, Detroit, Flyer, Tresor,... | +--------------------------------------------------+

Stomp is a group of percussionists who originated in England and used to be known as Pookiesnackenburger. They did a famous advert for Heineken in the UK and have since dones numerous others including one for Coca Cola. Chances are you've seen them somewhere banging dustbin lids, beating on sheet metal, or stomping around with huge oil drums strapped to their feet. :: Alan M.

And in the Good Ole Daze[tm], they were just that - a "group". However, in the interim they've figured out a much better marketing ploy - instead of calling yourself a "group" and flogging around the alterna-rawk circuit for little dosh, reinvent yourselves as a "theatre troupe" and make "Stomp" be the name of your musical/theatrical presentation. That way you can split and become two troupes (originals, plus a new troupe made up mostly of Yanks) and more importantly, you can play in Theatre halls for several weeks at a go and charge outrageous theatre patron prices to be seen ($25 ... on up). If you're not a student, you'll be skint after seeing "Stomp". I still think what they do is really great (they brought down the house on Saturday Night Live, I think), but I don't dig the marketing ploy. On the other hand, if they make anybody go out and buy Test Dept's 1986 magnum opus "The Unacceptable Face Of Freedom" (still my Greatest Album Of The 80's, easy), it'll be worth it. - Greg

Where can i get their CD? of course at a record store, but like what are some of there album titles? :D) piece... Swami

Stomp are bunch of dungaree-and-doc-martin-wearing, bad-shaved-haircut-sporting fools from England that do terrible metal-banging performances.
