Perpetual Groove has spent the last ten years expanding their loyal audience and musical theatrics to international, critical acclaim. The quartet has continued to evolve their genre-bending, highly organized sound with their musical collection touching on elements of jazz, indie-rock, R&B, progressive rock, trance, and anthemic arena rock. They also have an eclectic and surprising list of covers ranging from Paul Simon to Rage Against the Machine. Their live performances are only enhanced by their polished, intelligent light show. With their vast catalog of both original songs, as well as covers, each live show is truly a unique experience, having never played the same set twice.

Strong lyrical content is backed by enticing guitar riffs, harmonizing melodies, pounding synthesizers, and unstoppable drum beats. With four albums under their belt (Sweet Oblivious Antidote; All this Everything; Live, Love, Die; and Heal) PGroove continues to experiment and push the envelope in regards to their unique sound. PGroove’s live shows are not one to be missed. Whether they are playing to 20,000 fans such as they did during their Bonnaroo set or in more intimate settings such as their own festival, Amberland, Perpetual Groove continues to bridge the gap between fans and musicians. Camaraderie and a real sense of community amongst the fans is truly what makes PGroove stand out above the rest.

Pgroove continues to tour relentlessly throughout the United States and is a staple in the US festival scene with performances at All Good Music Festival, Gathering of the Vibes, Wakarusa, Bonnaroo, Jam Cruise, High Sierra, Jazz Fest, Riverbend and their own annual gathering, Amberland. The band has also made appearances at International events such as Jam in the Dam, Caribbean Holidaze and a sold out Japan tour. Perpetual Groove continues to push the envelope in the music industry, touring behind the first ever 5.1 surround sound system and producing the first album to be completely offset by renewable energy credits.

Toting the loaded description Sci-Fi Middle Eastern Funk, Consider the Source’s sound is a melting pot of Middle Eastern scales, psychedelic jams and a hard rocking rhythm section. Featuring Gabriel Marin on Fret-Less Double Neck Guitar, John Ferrara on Bass, and Justin Ahiyon on Drums/Percussion, the three New York City-based musicians cite their influences as including The Bad Plus, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson and Tool—but a major source of their musical power can be attributed to a trip the band took to India, where they studied the complex tala (rhythm) of North India and the micro-tonal scale structure and melodic ornamentations of South India. Guitarist Gabriel Marin, recently highlighted in Guitar Player Magazine, says, “Our music combines influences from Turkish, Bulgarian, North and South Indian styles with jazz and fusion, and then we filter it through our own heavy rock and psychedelic sounds and approaches.”

Over the past two years this progressive trio has toured the U.S., the Middle East and Europe while hitting numerous festivals including Burning man and The Big Up. They’ve also performed alongside such luminaries as Victor Wooten, Kris Myers (of Umphrey’s McGee), Wyclef Jean (of The Fugee’s), Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Garaj Mahal, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and many others, and their music has been aired nationally on Fox 5′s Fearless Music TV show, on which they won the award for best unsigned independent act. Consider the Source’s new album “That’s What’s Up” is a testament to the band member’s core beliefs & values about their art and expression. www.considerthesourcemusic.com
