The story so far

We're basically a group of STOMPers creating music from anything not called an instruments. Yes....music without instruments.....
Our instruments include pails, dustbins, brooms, bottle, cups, ladder and etc.

STOMP started out as two "buskers" on the streets of Brighton. Busking is the British term for a street performance where people are encouraged to stop, listen and watch. It is a very old custom, dating back to booth theaters erected at village fairs in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The street busker of today also echoes back to the wandering minstrel of the medieval fair. Thus, it seems that STOMP's roots are in theatre, but can it really be called "theater"? source http://www.stomponline.com/
