The Groove were a five piece progressive rock ensemble hailing from Quebec City. The band consisted of Andre (Dre) Bourget on guitars, Bob Benson on six-string bass, Stephane Lacerte on drums & percussion, Guy (Blind Guy) Cardinal on keyboards and Danny Deane on lead vocals.
The band grew extremely popular in the Quebec / Maritimes club scene from it's conception with founding members Stephane Lacerte and Andre Bourget in 1991 to it's demise in late 1994.
Before disbanding in December 1994, the band recorded a 4 -song demo of original material with Dan Deane on vocals. The recording quality is demo of that era, but the raw energy and uncommon musicianship of this band was definitely captured.
This is "pedal-to the-floor" progressive type rock. Fasten your seat belts....

Why this name?
It was chosen because the band could really 'groove' together and was extremely versatile, often breaking into blistering improvisations that sounded rehearsed and extremely tight. A real natural groove and chemistry existed between the members.
Do you play live?
We used to...a lot!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's only just begun to change. And it will change in a drastic way. Soon this will be where most people shop their music. And the artist will be in comtrol of his creativity as well as his sales and distribution. A golden era is emergimg.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Almost did with this band!
