SUPERGROOVE

|
To translate Supergroove into words is no easy task. A volatile concoction of soul, rap, funk combined with a highly extroverted stage performance, Supergroove were a visual and aural explosion that left all who saw them ecstatic.
Supergroove were well ahead of their time. They revolutionised local modern rock and were one of the first New Zealand bands to fuse Hip-Hop and Rock with a horn section, creating a sound unheard before. Bursting on to the Auckland live scene at the dawn of the 90s after gestating in their high school music room as the ‘Low Down Dirty Blues Band’, the then-teenagers had energy to burn and musical talent oozing from every drum beat, shiny sax key and funky guitar. Responsible for a string of what have gone on to become classic kiwi anthems, Supergroove generated a staggering 6 Top 10 hits throughout the 90s. Amongst them the gold singles ‘Scorpio Girls’ & ‘Sitting Inside My Head’, platinum-selling ‘Can’t Get Enough’ & ‘You Gotta Know’, live standouts ‘Next Time’, ‘You Freak Me’ & ‘Here Comes The Supergroove’, and many more. |
