   About Groove Patriots

CLICK HEREfor a free download of our live performance, A Night in White Satin.

Hello all! For those of you that don't know us, we are four piece rock (I hate this word, it makes us sound like the Foo Fighters. I must assure you we certainly try our hardest not to be.) band hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand. Its probably better to listen to us to get a feeling for what we are about rather than me providing you with a cliched response you'd never remember. ever. For a bit of history, we were once known as the "Business Mongrels" and we have two ex-members; Dove Bailey (Blast!Blast!Noise!; Ashei) and Chester Travis (for a whole practice i think). We love to perform live so if you're looking for a band to play at your party, wedding, funeral etc we would definitely be keen!

Unfortunately we did not win the KFC Sounds from your Hometown competition (not that we expected to) but we also did not receive any feedback which is a real pain because we wanna know what to improve etc so there not so much we can tell you about it. However, we must once again thank those of you who dragged themselves out of bed at the crazy hour of 11am to come and support us - it was a lot of fun! We hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did! Oh and I have uploaded a few pictures into the albums on here along with a short clip of a new song on our youtube channel so you can check them out. I will (as soon as Alex gives it to me) upload the whole video of -A to youtube also so keep an eye out for that!

Recently i submitted our music video "If Only" to ALT TV, C4 and Juice TV in New Zealand. I see it unlikely that we will get airplay on the later two, particularily Juice TV, but keep watching ALT (yes i know you're all closet addicts) if you want to see us on a TV near you.

I finally updated our official website and i will be uploading some rarer demo recordings and things up there from time to time so keep an eye out, you can get to it by clicking hurrrr.

Hey guys, thanks a lot :D Yeah I'm glad at least a few people hung around to watch us. Not that I think we were expecting a great reaction from that place, but yeah it was fun playing.

You guys played quite well too might I add : )

Next gig will probably be either a halloween show at Space Gallery or something at Al's bar, we'll keep you posted.

The Chaperones





Aug 9 2007 6:12 AM

Alsoooo... We were wondering if we could use Jimi's recording gear to record some demos for our myspace? It would be very good of you :D (cheeky I know) but we would be willing to compensate you and work around whatever you have goin on. Let us know, by phone or through Zac or Alex if poss. Thanks, Myren
