Rock band Dorp are currently on a UK tour with a new single to be released on the 8th December titled 'London Out There' (videos in article) the single is the second track to be taken from the debut album 'Human Beings'.. Despite only settling in the UK's capital a few short years ago (the band's inception was in frontman Piet & guitarist Kevins native South Africa), the quartet have already developed into a startling proposition. And the fruits of their labour can be witnessed on both their 'London out There' single and their debut album, 'Humans Being'.
''London Out There' was one of the first tracks we wrote on our arrival from South Africa in 2002", explains frontman Piet Bez. "When we arrived in London from Cape Town it was like a huge hit of adrenaline. We were struck by how everything moved at a million miles an hour - it was like the most extreme example of work hard/play hard we could ever have imagined! But there was always a seedy underbelly to it all, like it could all come crashing down at any minute. You have to keep in front of the monster or it swallows you. We never realised it would be so prophetic!"

It's rare that a band can truly be described as unique, and yet Dorp truly defy categorisation and transcends today's music fan's expectations of what music can be about. Combining melodies, pop sensibilities, lashings of electronica, lyrical satire and sheer rock power, Dorp's creativity is astounding. Humans being creative, adventurous and artistic? That'd be the four guys in Dorp. The musical revolution starts here. Be part of it
