About GROK

Grok album. More details here.

Single available from iTunes, etc.

GROK have no songs
All GROK songs are improvised and spontaneous, performed or recorded without any prior planning or rehearsal.

There are no mistakes in GROK
GROK's approach has a vital, dynamic, unstructured feel. In GROK a chance hook can form the basis for a repeated refrain, or a meandering atmospheric can suddenly burst into a three minute pop song.

GROK is for everyone
GROK provide a counterpoint to the labouring songsmith. They explore randomness and opportunity while avoiding the pitfalls of indulgence or inaccessibility.

GROK performances
All GROK songs are one-shot affairs, never to be repeated. No GROK gigs are ever the same.

GROK is a collective and inclusive experience
GROK create an inclusive, celebratory atmosphere. They break down the traditional divide between band and audience by inviting people to suggest themes for songs, spin the Wheel of Chordal Destiny or occasionally to also play instruments.

The Wheel of Chordal Destiny
The wheel has seven possibilities. A member of the audience is asked to spin the wheel to find the relative destiny of the next song.

Moments of unpredictable serendipity are GROK
The potential for everything to go badly wrong creates an entertaining, absorbing and sometimes absurd atmosphere. GROK performances are memorable because there is no agreed version of what happened, only individual recollections.

Releases
GROK released a single in May 2008 entitled 'Song for Europe'.
The new GROK album, 'Ruined Music for Everyone' was released in July 2008.
