A celebrated, international touring act for over four years, Perpetual Groove has built a reputation on intense, emotional music that fans call “trance arena rock,” and won over legions of fans with their experimentations in live 5.1 concert surround sound, an intense retina blinding light show, and a willingness to keep the connection strong between band and fans. The Athens, GA-based band’s riveting live performances have catapulted them into the “must-see” category of live rock bands. With a funky blend of jazz-rock, neo-psychedelia, R&B, trance electronica, progressive rock and anthemic arena rock, the Bonnaroo veterans have conquered the festival circuit and continue to tour relentlessly.
Rising out of the low country of Savannah, GA in 2001, Perpetual Groove has grown quickly into a formidable internationally touring organization. Now based in Athens, GA, the band continues to ride an unending wave of momentum buoyed by an enthusiastic fan base and international critical acclaim. Fans of Perpetual Groove (or PGroove, as the fans like to call them) are known to follow the band from state to state, night to night, to experience their euphoric live show that features an ever changing set-list. Perpetual Groove’s music has evolved into a genre-bending, highly original sound that touches upon jazz-rock, neo-psychedelia, R&B, trance electronica, progressive rock, and anthemic arena rock. Their large catalog of original music offers something for everyone, but the band is also known for their eclectic range of covers; including everything from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to Rage Against The Machine’s “Bulls On Parade”.
Following on from their debut release ‘Don’t Mind If I Should’ in 2004 the band have now augmented their sound with some fine harmony vocals and blistering solos. All the songs come from the band and The Turbine turn up the throttle on ‘Roll On’ & ‘Stand Down’ and explore their Band roots on ‘Cranberry Creek’ with some sublime guitar work from Jeremy. The quality of song writing never drops and towards the end of the record on ‘Seven Years of Bad Luck’ and the title track Turbine shows there is plenty left in the tank.
Relix Magazine - "Artists on the Verge": "Their sound is exhilarating, with flurries of melodic guitars and wailing harp propelling complex improvisations"
"Spontaneous and genuine music that comes straight from the soul. Hilliard is lightning fast on electric guitar and Rightmire plays harmonica like he's running from the law"
Jambands.com: "Their music wails, whispers and directs our thoughts to the deeper mysteries of life"
