Both staircases leading up to the Ballroom have 28 steps.ThumpasaurusLos Angeles-based Thumpasaurus are a gang of five superbly-skilled young American musicians taking hugely divergent influences and channelling them into something uniquely Thumpasaurian.TThumpasaurus offer up their own unique punk/funk stew wherein, hidden in plain sight and sound, you’ll find traces of Zappa, Beefheart, James Chance, Funkadelic/Parliament, Morphine, Devo, Talking Heads and Prince, as well as some rocking heavy metal, free jazz, musical theatre and even some light opera references thrown in for good measure.Lead singer and guitarist Lucas Tamaren’s alter ego, Sensei Boland, recently achieved web notoriety by challenging the world to bring him something he can’t karate chop. A promotional meme for “Mental Karate” resulted in Buzzfeed picking up on the video &amp; the band’s music being shared by the likes of Alt-J, Shakey Graves, and Rob Thomas amongst others. See here.After a sold out 12 show run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Thump opened their 2018 with their first-ever headliner at the Bootleg Theater on April 1st, the band packed 200+ people in to witness the live debut of their original rock opera,Where Does The Love Go?, complete with a 20-person choir. Seriously. Thump teased the opera in physical cd-only format at the show.Additionally, 2018 has seen the band record an EP with legendary house producer, Dirtybird’s Justin Jay. Consisting primarily of remixed Thump songs, the EP is out on Jay’s Fantastic Voyage label and was premiered by Annie Mack on BBC Radio 1. The music has already been played by massive DJ’s in the house and techno scene across the country, including at an EatsEverything’s headlining set at Ultra Festival in Miami. Members of the band were special guests on Justin’s tour in May supporting the EP release.In 2018, Thumpasaurus has truly begun their voyage into the Thumpaverse. The band released their self-produced debut album The Book of Thump to a sold out audience at one of L.A’s most legendary venues - The Troubadour. The band are currently preparing for their first ever headlining tour, bringing their famed Space Barn to cities in America throughout the month of December.Thumpasaurus has received radio play from tastemaker stations such as KCRW (Wayne’s World) and BBC Radio 1 (Space Barn) BBC Radio Scotland (You Are So Pretty, Dance Like It’s Your Life, Mental Karate) and legendary D.J Giles Peterson’s BB6 radio show. (Dance Like its your life.)Think. Dance. Smile. Feel. Thumpasaurus are about to come into your life and make you do all of the above. Go see, go hear - you’ll never feel more alive.Long may you Thump.
