P - Groove Tonight at the Stone Pony

Whenever I go out to a local or small venue show, there is typically always someone handing out sampler / promotional CD's. I have dozens of these discs laying around- not quite sure what to do with them all. I've discovered a handful of bands this way; guess it's a great way to advertise considering how cost effective it is to burn CD's today. I acquired one of those indie "new artist" mixes under Harmonized Records label. An Atlanta band named Perpetual Groove had the only worthwhile song out of the lot.

I've found myself playing their one song "Three Weeks" over and over again without it growing stale. My friend Lori recently moved to Atlanta and vouches for this band. So based on one song and a recomendation, Caroline and I are driving clear across Jersey to see them at the Stone Pony. It comes down to that Jam Base ideal of "Go see live music" tonight. Hell, what can you loose- three bands for $10. When renting one video game at Blockbuster costs $9, this price of admission seems entirely worthwhile.

Through minimal GOOGLE'ing, I managed to drag up a hi-fi music stream from the Internet Live Music Archive. I'll post a link below, not sure how long it will last before the link breaks. Give it a try, can't go wrong. From what I've heard, P Groove is a mix between modern alternative songwriting, and jamband improvisation with a slant towards trance electronica. Pay particular attention to the interplay between keys and guitar, lead lines drenched in echo / delay, and songs interspersed with techno-like grooves. Hopefully tonight will live up to my friend's recomendation, the catchiness of "Three Weeks", and the quality of this show. Enjoy!
