Emerald Your entertainment, dining and arts guide to the UO community January 10,1997 Volume 98, Issue 72 Increasingly popular ojj- ® beat music group Stomp will perform at the Hult Center next week By Jesse Stephenson Entertainment Reporter Which one of the following items does not belong on a list of musical instruments: brooms, garbage cans, or drums? If you are a member of the musical group Stomp, the correct answer would be drums. Stomp is an eight-member percussion music group that has been receiving nation al attention for their unique practice of making music with anything but standard musical instruments. Many people believe Stomp has become so popular because they are unique. “Stomp is different. They are young and exciting. What they do is different than most shows that are seen,” said Kate Ran dall of Space Agency Concert and Theatri cals. “It really appeals to younger audi ences, as long as they don’t mind noise.” Performing numerous high-energy shows each week takes its toll, however. Stomp performers have exhibited signs of wear and tear with a total of three damaged knee caps, one of which requires surgery, and five smashed knuckles. In a normal week of performing, the group uses nearly 20 brooms, seven mop heads, 40 gallons of water and 10 garbage can lids. The Stomp instrument that most resembles a traditional musical instrument is the oil drum.
