Kev Hopper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kev Hopper (born 1961) is an English bass guitarist.
Hopper is best known for his work as bass guitarist for the band Stump,[1] an Anglo/Irish indie/experimental/rock group formed in London in 1983. Stump released two albums, the self released mini album Quirk Out in 1986 and their only full-length release A Fierce Pancake in 1988.[2] Since the late 1980s, his mainly instrumental output has been diverse and best described as a hybrid style of experimental electronica and melodic pop with his distinctive bass playing often to the fore. Two bands dominated his post-Stump years: the laptop quartet, Ticklish (1998–2005)[3] and the bass guitar, riff-dominated Prescott (2012–2018)[4] featuring Scritti Politti keyboardist Rhodri Marsden, drummer Frank Byng, and Pere Ubu guitarist, Keith Moliné.
Hopper is also a visual artist (painter).
