"Stompin' Dave is a formidable talent and outstanding musician as well as larger-than-live personality. He’s also a brilliant boogie piano player, a mean blues guitarist and a fine singer! Dave’s previously under exposed talents of electric guitar and piano, band leading and song writing is highlighted in this new band. Stompin’ Dave got a standing ovation at the IOW blues weekend, so don’t miss this evening!" Boogaloo Promotions Stompin' Dave has been very active the past ten years or so working across the South of the U.K. and beyond. Dave has previously fronted his own blues bands Dablues, & Dr. Stomp & The G.P.'s. Back in 2000 Dave gained valuable experience as a sideman with award winning Bournemouth based band The Producers.

Lemonrock review of Did You Ever? track, Jan 08: "Stompin' Dave's Electric Band is a brand new project from Stompin' Dave Allen. Known mainly for his eccentric banjo, acoustic guitar and fiddle playing whilst simultaneously singing and tap dancing, Stompin' Dave's excellent electric guitar playing, band leading and songwriting is highlighted in this new band. This is a hugely riff-driven rock blues tune that will be sure to blow those New Year clouds away! Well recorded, deftly played and delivered right between the eyes, we recommend playing it rather loud." Did You Ever? Named lemonrock.com MP3 of the week Jan 2008. Blues In The South, review of Original Blues CD, Apr 08: "The CD ‘Original Blues’ is pure 21st Century. With band, Dave Saunders on bass and Graham V. Bundy on drums, Allen here on guitar and vocals (and with a nice pic of his beloved white Washburn on the CD case) lays down some seriously modern grooves with feedback, stunning foot-pedal dynamics and so on. All original, as the title implies, the music ranges from a John Lee Hookerish ‘Boogie Town’ through the rocker ‘Survival’ to out-and-out lowdown blues like ‘Aint No Reason’(Shades of EC and Freddie King) and ‘I Feel A Little Better Now'. Wonderful!" Ian McKenzie Blues In Britain Review, review of Original Blues CD, July 08: "Dave and his electric guitar are joined by the well-known veteran of the south coast blues scene and founder member of The Producers (coincidentally a former band of Mr. Allen) Dave Saunders on bass and the vastly experienced Graham V. Bundy on drums. The electric set is raw and direct, no frills blues, with elements of the currently popular droning Mississippi hill country style in places, through a slow blues reminiscent of early Eric Clapton or Freddy King and up tempo rocking items and then on to some riff-driven pile-driving blues-rock, augmented by Dave’s ferocious vocals (he is slightly less fierce elsewhere). The tightly coiled 'I Feel A Little Better' brought Hound Dog Taylor to mind, which is always a winner in my book. Well worth investigating. Rating: 8" Norman Darwen *From time to time due to Dave Saunders other commitments, the band features guest bass players, these have included: Doey Damen who has performed some gigs & performed on some tracks on the new CD Piano Covered. Doey also performs with one of Dorset’s favourite folk rock band Howling at The Moon & also with rock band Stress. Weymouth based bassman Chris Lonergan has also performed with Stompin' Dave's Electric Band. Chris has played with Custer's Last Blues Band and Brahms & Liszt, seminal blues outfits in the South West of England. Chris has also performed with boogie piano phenomenon Ben Waters, Billy Bragg, & The Barrelhouse Blues Orchestra. Chris has also teamed up with ex-Pretenders and Paul McCartney guitarist Robbie McIntosh. 2010 Jan 8th, The R.P.A., Portland, 9pm Jan 15th, The R.P.A., Portland, 9pm cancelled: moved a week earlier!
