"Grover are the most energetic young outfit we've heard in a long while,
taking rare groove sixties soul jaz licks to a new place, with hyper-charged
dance energy."
Basement gig guide, July 99
Over the past 3 years
Grover has established itself as one of the most dynamic and versatile live acts
Sydney has to offer. The musicians are brimming with individual talent and as a
group offer an experience that will captivate any audience. The universal appeal
can be attributed to the style of music fusing funk and jazz grooves with Cuban
and African percussion.
The musical styles are diverse, ranging from the
laid back lounge music for low key functions, jazz club style performance, all
the way through to upbeat electronic dance music. Whether it's an air of
sophisticated cool or a funk injected dance floor, Grover has the repertoire for
any occassion.
The word versatile is apt, considering the variety of
performance over the past four years in Grover's diary. These have included:-
SLIPP INN - voted top five Sydney venues, two year residency
BASEMENT -
Sydney's most prestigious live venue
JAZZ FEST - Darling Harbour Annual Jazz
Festival (voted favourites)
QUICKSILVER - Annual Industry Event, The Sands,

OPERA BAR
'Roland Australia' was so impressed with Grover that they
employed them as their national showcase band, furnishing every member with the
latest technology available and getting the band to perform at several
exhibitions and presentations around Australia.
Grover perform at numerous
private and corporate functions throughout the year. The group run and supply
all of it own production and are adaptable to large auditoriums or small
intimate environments.
Grover are currently recording their debut album,
which will be ready for release late 2003.
