With massive horns, heavy bass and deeply socially aware lyrics, King Porter Stomp have quickly established themselves as major players on the UK live circuit. Since forming 2 years ago, the high energy eight piece have developed a unique breed of accessible ska, funk and hip hop which feels as much at home busked on street corners as it is played out on major festival stages. Hyped by the success of their 23 date UK Summer 09 Festival tour which included shows at Glastonbury, Larmer Tree, Shambala and Ireland’s Electric Picnic, the seemingly unstoppable octet are still gathering momentum. Due to start recording the follow up to their highly successful debut album ‘Poison the Beat’ in January 2010, the Stomp are set to unveil more brand new contagious grooves, outrageous horn lines, thumping beats and delicately crafted conscious rhymes next year. At their live shows expect to be entertained, enlivened and enlightened. So we’ve already played Glastonbury, the strength of our music has landed us shows on Arcadia, Avalon Cafe, Chai Wallahs and Croissant Neuf but it’s time to take to the bigger stages, the crowd love us and we’re now ready to spread the message to the masses!
