Thumpasaurus 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. The band truly thumped the crowd at the Joshua Tree Music Festival in May 2019, recorded a set live here for a JTMF streaming event in 2020, and filmed their “Struttin” video here at the fest site. Thumpasaurus has received radio play from tastemaker stations such as KCRW (Wayne’s World) and BBC Radio 1 (Space Barn) as well as BBC Radio Scotland (You Are So Pretty, Dance Like It’s Your Life, Mental Karate). Their latest release, Thumpaverse, is filled with solid gold thump; a raucous follow up to their 2019 debut, Book of Thump. Think. Dance. Smile. Feel. Thumpasaurus are about to come into your life and make you do all of the above. Long may you Thump!
