Life and career
Kev Hopper, bass guitarist
Hopper is probably best known as the bass guitarist with the 1980's, Anglo/Irish Captain Beefheart-inspired London band, Stump.
Since the late 1980s, his mainly instrumental output has been diverse and best described as a hybrid style of experimental and melodic pop with his distinctive bass playing often to the fore. He has also created electronica with the group Ticklish and minimal pulse music in a Rock band format with Prescott (formed in 2012) featuring Scritti Politti keyboardist Rhodri Marsden, drummer Frank Byng, adding Pere Ubu guitarist, Keith Moliné in 2016.

gollark: You get... two simulations, one different, presumably?
gollark: I didn't say it was proof, just that it wasn't disproof.
gollark: <@221827050892296192> Those are just maths. There are no *actual* circles to infinite precision in the real world. We just know that the abstract idea of circles and whatnot follows those rules, and matches real-world ones fairly well in most situations.
gollark: Good short story about that: https://qntm.org/responsibility
gollark: I think it's not very productive to try and reason about the desires of the hypothetical simulation-running beings when they're not (necessarily) anything like humans and when the only information we have to work with is our universe.
