Gruvis Malt...funky beats and futurock. Don't take our word for it...
"Dear Gruvis Malt, my name is Sarah, and I just got home from the WBCN River Rave at Great Woods. I went there to see RHCP, Sugar Ray and Orgy, but when you guys played, it totally blew me (and the other bands I went to see) away. I really thought all hope was lost for music. No one was playing anything interesting, it was all the same. Then I saw you guys! Let me tell you: you are amazingly tight. TIGHT! You play the style I want to hear (what is it? Hip-Hop? Funk? Jazz?) and you are total bundles of energy (not to mention cuties, too). So, enough of my little letter, I just wanted to thank you for playing something unique and giving me hope for the state of music. I have let all my friends listen to your album, and they love you too! Ok boys, bye! -Love, Sarah McKenzie...Milford, Massachusetts"

Why this name?
We didn't choose our band name. It was just there when we woke up in that room that time with all those musical instruments. Whichever instrument we were closest to, we played. How did you choose your name?
Do you play live?
Gruvis Malt plays very live. In fact, none of us have ever been not live while we were playing. Well, one of us once had a broken leg. We play an average of 16 shows a month. We started in our hometown, Providence, RI, and slowly moved outwards. Do we like it? We live it.
If you make it big..?
I think if you make it too big, it probably won't fit in your house.
