Bloco Vomit
Group type:
Bloco 
Edinburgh, EH6 4ZN
United Kingdom
|
The original samba/punk outfit with carnival/punk dress to match. Best experienced live through ear plugs. Bloco Vomit mix various rhythms from Brazil with primarily punk ... but throw some reggae, r''n''b, rock and garage into their sickly brew. Their percussion arrangement is like that of a small Brazilian bloco and this is accompanied with trumpet, guitar, vocals. They started throwing up samba punk in 1995, in Edinburgh. With 3 CDs to date - "Never Mind The Bossa Nova - Here''s Bloco Vomit", "Play This Ya Bastard!" and ".vom". These comprise of a diverse collection of covers from as far a field as Crass to Eddie Cochrane to Patti Smith. |

Bloco Vomit are best experienced live. A colourful bunch, attired in odd costumes and cross dressing, exuding raw energy that is characteristic of both punk and samba. They have played throughout the UK, Ireland, Amsterdam, Portugal and Spain. In 2000 they played at Roskilde Festival in Denmark and toured Brazil, playing in Recife for the "April Pro Rock" festival, Sao Paulo and Rio.
From Ian Heavens:
Bloco Vomit! grew out of the Edinburgh Samba School and mixes the rhythms of Brazil with classic punk songs and a few others, but has also been known to play straight maracatu (sort of). The band has ten regular members and participates enthusiastically in the Brazilian crossdressing tradition. Punks, sambistas and others mingle happily at Bloco Vomit! gigs.
