"Thudbox won the first heat for being technically brilliant and putting on a great show" - Simon Baker, Green Mind Promotions

| About Thudbox |
|
Thudbox is a percussion-based group of twelve musicians, all of whom live, work and study in Cambridge.
While our musical roots and influences are driven predominantly by Afro-Caribbean and Brazilian samba percussion styles, we are far more than that.
Much of our current repertoire has been developed collectively by the group and mixes traditional Brazilian rhythms with funk, drum and bass and jungle. The result is a swirling, fast paced mix of percussive sound that can capture the attention of a crowd in seconds and have them jumping and dancing before they know it.
We’ve been around for about twelve months during which time we have concentrated all of our efforts on rehearsal and working up musical ideas into gig-able numbers. We think that approach has paid off. We now have a solid repertoire of pieces to be proud of and we are ready to share it with the world….
