To translate Supergroove into words is no easy task. A volatile concoction of soul, rap, funk combined with a highly extroverted stage performance, Supergroove are a visual and aural explosion that leave all who have seen them ecstatic.

Supergroove revolutionised New Zealand modern rock being one of the first local bands to fuse Hip-Hop and Rock with a horn section. 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. The group disbanded in 1997, with close to 200,000 albums worldwide and in 2003 they released the ‘Postage’ album, a mix of album tracks, single cuts and b-sides, before supporting Crowded House In October 2007.
