Supergroove
Supergroove is a New Zealand funk rock music group. Their debut album Traction was released in 1994. The group disbanded in 1997 but reformed in 2007.
History
The band was founded on New Year's Eve 1989/1990, having previously been named the Low-Down Dirty Blues Band.
Supergroove's first release was the single Here Comes the Supergroove, which wasn't added to either of their original albums. Supergroove released two albums of original content - Traction, from which four singles were taken, and Backspacer, which yielded two singles. Between the two they recorded the EP Tractor, and put out an EP of remixes, GreatMixes.
They split up in 1997 over creative differences. Seven years after the group split a 'Best Of' compilation, Postage, was released.
Performance
Solo careers
Notable former members include Che Ness, aka Che Fu, now with a successful solo career, Joe Lonie, a music video producer, and Paul Russell, who moved on to start the New Zealand band Eight (who recently split), and who still studio drums with Che Fu and Brooke Fraser. Two other ex-members, Tim Stewart (trumpet) and Ben Sciascia (guitar) formed a new band in late 2005 called Svelte. Ian Jones recently joined upcoming Sydney band, Lost Valentinos on drums. Karl Steven has completed a PhD in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy at Cambridge University and is now a member of Auckland surf-punk band The Drab Doo-Riffs.

Your White Shirt
by: SupergrooveStand me up
Shave my head
Put me in my feet
Push me out
Of the door
I'll race you to the top of the street
Set me up
Knock me off
Give a little grief
Shut my eyes
Push me in
Try your best to keep me underneath
You take the petrol we've got no time to talk
Let's burn this house down and go out for a walk
I can't see your face for the glare
I know that you're somewhere in there
When you're wearing
Your white shirt
You don't need to make a sound
I can see
What's in your pockets
I can see what you've been carrying around
You take the petrol we've got no time to talk
Let's burn this house down and go out for a walk
I can't see your face for the glare
I know that you're somewhere in there
