Biography

Grooving in Green formed in 2008 when guitarists Pete and Si started writing music together for the first time in over 14 years. As a nod to the bands origins and inspirations they once again took their name from a March Violets song. Later that year Tron joined on vocals completing the lineup.

In early 2009 the band set to writing their debut CD, quickly establishing their own sound and feel ‘Groove Goth’.
In June the band received critical acclaim for their first EP ‘Ascent’ which was described as “Obvious Quality” (Mick Mercer) and proved to be a hit on compilations and in clubs.

The band proceeded with the ‘Ascent Tour’ to promote this release drawing comparisons to band such as Placebo and the Manic Street Preachers. During this time the band began working on a follow up to Ascent. The band played their first European date at the Judgement Day festival in Austria debuting songs from the new single, supporting Ikon and met with a great response. The band soon went on to play the Whitby Goth Weekend Festival supporting The Eden House to an enthusiastic crowd and officially released their second cd: ‘Dirt’ which was once again met with positive reviews and praise ending the year on a high.

By the start of 2010 the band were putting the finishing touches on their debut album and played their first gigs in Germany in support of the House of Usher as well as Clan of Xymox- once again to a positive crowd. Within the week the band were once again recording- with Steve Carey (Eden House/Adoration/This Burning Effigy) producing as well as Legendary bassist Tony Pettit (Fields of the Nephilim/NFD/Eden House) contributing on a song and mastering by Andy Jackson (engineer for Pink Floyd).
