Bump to release debut album ?Incredible Consequence? and perform at the Majestic Theatre on Good Friday as well as filming this show for future DVD release!
Detroit, MI ? March 8, 2006 -- ?Awe-inspiring!?, ?breathtaking!?, ?abnormally energetic!? and ?vividly entertaining!? are just some of the adjectives fans use to describe Bump?s ?Pink Floyd meets Motown? unusual live performances. On Good Friday, April 14, 2006, Bump presents their debut album, ?Incredible Consequence? with a holiday release party at the Majestic Theatre.
Formed in late 2002 in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, Bump spent the next couple of years hammering out smoked filled gigs in the dank bars of the Midwest while finishing up college. In late 2004 Bump returned to their original four piece line-up with an added commitment to growing as musicians and as a band. This commitment spurred over 400 shows, felonious theft, personal injury, and sharing the stage with the likes of The Black Crowes, Trey Anastasio, Widespread Panic, Better than Ezra, Sloan, and Blues Traveler; these four high school friends are prepared for what many consider an ?Incredible Consequqnce.?
Nearly three and a half years in the making, ?Incredible Consquence,? Bump?s debut full length album, is a complete record of the band?s past, present and future. Drawing from their collective roots, the album showcases the maturation process that every great band experiences. ?Last Chance? illustrates the bands soulful rearing, while ?Don?t Be the Sunrise? offers a glimpse into the driving electronic exploration of the band. With ?Keep It Close,? the band displays the exhilarating future, as they dive deeper into a much more profound and dark sound.
Following 5 major festival/conference performances in 2005, consecutive Detroit Music Award Nominations, a hefty and relentless touring schedule, and becoming one of Detroit?s largest underground acts; Bump continues to turn heads throughout the country. Thus in 2005 the fuse was lit, ?Incredible Consequence? provides the explosion to thrust Bump on the national scene.
For this special show at, Bump and Fulvew Productions (www.fulvew.com) will be filming for a future DVD/Documentary release. The doors open at The Majestic (4140 Woodward Detroit, MI 48021- 313-833-9700) at 8pm. In addition to Bump's monster set, Bump will be joined by L.A.
