SAM AND THE WOMP TO PERFORM NEXT GIG 17TH JULY AT LOVEBOX, VICTORIA PARK, LONDON… Sam and the Womp formed in September 2009 with the joining of trumpeter/composer Sam Ritchie and DJ/Producer Aaron Horn and rapidly expanded to form the smash live act it is now. ‘The Womp’ explodes with a huge brassy sound, grooving drums and infectious Womping bass. The name WOMP conjures up Dubstep and Drum and Bass style ‘wobble’ bass sounds. But the band’s scope is far beyond that; Drawing their influences from traditional Balkan brass, Ska and Funk but also from the dance floor genres- from Ragga to Dubstep, Jungle to Pop. Groups such as Balkan Beat Box, Jazzsteppa, Goran Bregovic, The Progidy and The Skatalites influence the band. Sam and the Womp’s unique style of music has been described by various promoters and reviewers as ‘Balcanic-ska’, ‘Cabarave’ , ‘Gypstep’ or just ‘Womp’ . The high energy live show is fronted by showman trumpeter Sam Ritchie with his killer horn section punching out catchy riffs and stunning virtuosic solos accompanied by charismatic and provocative vocals from the lovely Lady Oo with various special guests and dancers. Not to mention the electro- WOMPING bass synth guaranteed to get you moving! The band has its roots in London but is made up of various nationalities from English to Dutch, Italian and American. The band have already performed at Glastonbury and Gideon Festival in Holland this year and Bestival, Big Chill Festival, Secret Garden Party, Ronnie Scott’s and supported Beardyman at Islington O2 Academy in 2010. They are creating their own unique brand of music they’ve nick-named ‘The Womp’ and their live show is sure to get you dancing around like an idiot with a great big smile on your face. REVIEWS: ‘Sam and the Womp’s single ‘Bom Bom’ fuses Balkan Brass with Contemporary Dubstep’ (Radio 3, World Roots Program, 2010) ‘Now you wouldn’t think Balkan and dubstep would work but ‘Bom Bom’ goes funky trumpet wobble for US College Marching Band meets London Town jazzsteppa dancefloor - Sam and the Womp pick up where N.O.H.A. caused mayhem with ‘Balkan Hot Step’ five years ago - BIG TUNE!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the previously unreleased tracks and it’s going to blow up quicker than…..erm ‘Balkan Hot Step’!’ (Fly Global Music, 2010) ‘They are creating their very own dance and quite possible a style of music, the Womp. The live show is sure to get you dancing around like an idiot, and I dare you not to be turned on by the 8-piece band….With loads more shows and releases in the pipe line and the guys growing as a unit, I think these guys could become a huge festival band, paving the way for success on many levels.’ (The Monitors Review, Daniel Cross. 2010) ‘We’re particularly enjoying the disco, dubstep,wompiness of newcomer’s Sam and the Womp’ (Gondwanasound, Jill Turner, 2010)
