King Porter Stomp

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 Festival tour which included shows at Glastonbury, Larmer Tree, Shambala and Ireland’s Electric Picnic, the seemingly unstoppable octet are still gathering momentum this Autumn by unveiling brand new contagious grooves, outrageous horn lines, thumping beats and delicately crafted conscious rhymes.

The 8 dedicated members of King Porter Stomp were called to Brighton from very different backgrounds and musical persuasions and first played together in Autumn 2006. Their debut album Poison The Beat is still receiving great reviews and airplay and at their live shows expect to be entertained, enlivened and enlightened.
