Synopsis
Stomp is a rhythmic, musical extravaganza that has stunned audiences across the globe. If you weren't lucky enough to catch them in your hometown (or you did and you crave more), now there's Stomp Out Loud, a special performance bringing the unusual musical feats right into your living room. You might just find yourself grabbing a broom or even your remote control to keep time. "It's comedy, it's theatre, it's very physical, it's energetic, it's occasionally quite terrifying," says one performer. Taking their show from the theatre to the streets, this astonishing troupe can make music out of just about anything and just about anywhere. The opening sequence shows them dangling by harnesses across the back of a Manhattan billboard drumming on hubcaps, pipes, street signs, and plastic garbage pails, all the while swaying and keeping in perfect time. You know how you like to groove along to the radio while driving? Stomp doesn't need a radio--they use their hands to make their own music while cruising the streets of New York. Using just basketballs in a steamy alleyway, the troupe creates an incredibly intricate dance with the street, brick walls, and dumpsters. --Dana Van Nest

Absolutly amazing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stomp - Out Loud/Brooms [DVD] (DVD)
What percussion! These guys rock the room with sounds and rythms born in the street and pieced together to form a "symphony". Stomp have taken everyday objects like dustbins and barrels and written emotive music that's sure to get you banging your coffee table with the remote control! Being a drummer I appreciate the timing and rythm that Stomp accomplish, every track on this disk is awesome and mood inspiring, they capture the heart of their audience with ease and hold one their attention to the last stroke. This is definately the type of music video that I'd watch over and over, well done Stomp for being original.

5.0 out of 5 stars
rhythmic brilliance,
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Stomp Out Loud [VHS][1997] (VHS Tape)
What astounds me about these dance/percussion numbers is their intricacy, which must have required relentless rehearsing, and yet there is almost an improvisational, immediate quality about them; some of them are performed on a stage, some on location in New York City, and they seamlessly segue from one to another. I especially like the transition from the alley ball game into the kitchen with the marvelous cigar-chomping chef.This innovative show was created in the early 90s in the U.K. by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas (who met in 1981 as members of a street band called "Pookiesnackenburger") and they share directorial credits for this HBO film; the show in its stage version has received numerous awards with its many productions around the globe.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Unbelievable, totally, totally UNBELIEVABLE!,

This review is from: Stomp - Out Loud/Brooms [DVD] (DVD)
I saw the "Stomp" cast perform in London in December 2002, and I was just absolutely blown away by what they could do with everything from refuse can lids to plastic bags. This DVD was being sold in the lobby, and there was no question that I would buy it. Sadly, it was "confiscated" by a relative a few months ago and hasn't been given back yet, but that just shows that everyone loves, loves, LOVES it. This DVD is magnificent, with the Stomp people doing their stuff in a stage show in New York, but also in other milieux, including an awe-inspiring rhythm piece that is mostly underwater. There is humour in the programme, too - a laugh-out-loud "Stomp" scene in a restaurant kitchen and a short segment in which four regular guys do a "Stomp" thing with their keys. This is not a DVD to be missed - you will be tapping your toes while you watch, and it will not leave you for a long, long time.
