HUMBLE GRUMBLE ON THE MEDIAWAVE GATHERING - 1 MAY, 2014 Fort Monostor, Komárom, Hungary
Hailing from Ghent, Belgium, Humble Grumble set out to follow the path laid by influential performers the likes of Frank Zappa and King Crimson with their unique blend of progressive rock / fusion.
Although progressive rock is generally regarded as an open and unpredictable music genre, there are patterns and limitations. Unlike many contemporary exponents of the genre, Humble Grumble refuses to get stuck in a box or to fall into the trap of emulation.
Instead, the band strives to use genres as styles in a way that is not unlike the colors available to an impressionist painter: The band happily welcomes shades of jazz, rock and roll bursts, folk song-writing and much more.
The band stemmed from an input of guitarist and singer Gabor Vörös, who finally settled into Belgium after wandering around Europe for several years. After a wide range of musical project and experiences, Humble Grumble finally started to find their voice and shape.
Following several demos, ideas and line-up changes, the band grew more and more experimental, striving to voice Gabor's wild imagery and eclectic vision. The band is known for often relying on extended line-ups of guest musicians to keep things interesting and on the edge.
