   About THE GROOVE DIGGERS
Tune in and turn on to the great new sound from The Groove Diggers. These guys are relentless in their aim to make music in the most authentic way possible. Real Raw Rockabilly - with a straight 3 piece. These guys are no Johnny-Come-Latelies either - they've been digging the scene for a good few years now and recognised that rockabilly music was moving away from the bare stripped-down sound and are here to set that right. Joe sings and strums - writing many of the bands songs. Influenced by Bobby Wayne and Hasil Adkins - he can punch out those vocals. Jimmy picks and plays in the style of the late, great Luther Perkins - then he can switch & send that guitar into mind-blowing Link Wray style licks and Bo Diddley rhythms. Kev slaps and plucks that bass with style and panache - making it look so easy. He's a lover (not a fighter) of all things big, bass and from a bottle. Jack Daniels of course! The Groove Diggers have great rapport on stage and this really comes across. The band have had a busy 12 months - they've played to over 4,000 at the Hangar is Rockin in Swizterland. The GrooveDiggers were the showcase band at Lets Get Wild 2007/08 - first to take to the stage, where they won the crowd over!! WOW what a show - check out the video. The band are writin' and recording their own material, and hope to have another release by the end of the year. Catch y'all soon at High Rockabilly or the Ubangi Stomp festival.

Band Review:

Band: The Groove Diggers

Latest Release: Doncha Break My Heart/Plain Ol' Evil (available on 45rpm!)

Venue: 'The PonyClub', The Fish Tank, 29-33 Neville Street, Durham City, 0191 384 2685

Event Date: 19th. April 2008


Damn fine night of 'Raw Rockabilly' from the Groove Diggers. Considering poor Jimmy (lead guitar) abandoned the stage twice(!) and simultaneously threw his guts up and wrecked the newly tiled toilets, the band were bang on the nail with everything I dig about a bloody good Rockabilly band in the 21st. Century!

Musical attitude. A real good dose of off beat '50s Rockin' Blues and dirty nailed, nicotine stained Rockabilly was tinged with echos and hollers from the lost souls of Hicks swallowed into musical history by the onslaught of the Beatles.

Self penned numbers, some written & refined just minutes before the set. Some, actually sung off the paper they had just been written on.

An upright bass (Zinc Bucket Kev), a corporally caned (as in spanking) rhythm guitar (Joe) and sickeningly groove cuttin' lead (Jimmy the Werewolf), resulted in a sound that had all meagre 30 punters screamin' and yellin' for more.

The outfit known as The Groove Diggers supplied the goods. People danced. People drank. People argued their love that night and the 'Diggers' played their score. You missed some genuine Punk. I know, 'cos I was there.
