Hillstomp preforms live at Bombs Away Cafe.
Portland Oregon junkbox blues duo HILLSTOMP is infamous for digging through the dumps and forgotten backwoods of American music, recycling traditional elements into a refreshing and distinctive brand of do-it-yourself hill country blues stomp. North Mississippi trance blues, a bit of Appalachia, and a dash of punkabilly come clanging and tumbling from assorted buckets, cans and BBQ lids, all drenched in rambunctious slide guitar. Somehow it works. Despite their homemade instruments and novel approach, Hillstomp is no novelty act. Hillstomp's memorable live performances tap into a magic that cannot be rehearsed, converting outlaws and traditionalists alike from skeptics into preechers. After two widely-acclaimed studio albums, the band hopes to capture some of that live energy on a new album titled After Two but Before Five. The album was recorded live recently on two nights in the Northwest. The band's previous albums "The Woman that Ended the World" and "one word" are available on the web at www.HILLSTOMP.com [thats right here] or www.cdbaby.com/hillstomp and hopefully a store near you.

I saw the Portland duo, Hillstomp, at Ray's in Richland a couple months ago...their performance was outstanding & such high energy I couldn't sit still. I will definately be seeing them again. I enjoy their CD's, but it's the live energy at their shows that sets them apart from the norm.
