Kev Hopper
Kev Hopper is an English bass guitarist.
Life and career
Hopper is best known for his work as bass guitarist for the band Stump, 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. 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 and the bass guitar, riff-dominated Prescott featuring Scritti Politti keyboardist Rhodri Marsden, drummer Frank Byng, and Pere Ubu guitarist, Keith Moliné.Hopper is also a visual artist.
