Disciples of Groove are one of the most unique unsigned bands in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area, innovators of the style they affectionately call Progressive Funk-Rock. They always provide an energetic live show with excellent musicianship and strong melodic hooks that inspire music lovers of all ages. Friends since childhood, they self produced their EP in 2005 and are currently working on a second CD.
Disciples of Groove has performed at some of the area's biggest venues, including Six Flags Great Adventure, the TLA, The World Cafe Live (main stage), the Trocadero (main stage) and the Commerce Bank Amphitheater. Disciples of Groove were showcase acts at the Dewey Beach Music Conference, the Millenium Music Conference, the first annual Dewey Beach JamFest, and the Y100 South Street Music Series, as well as being a featured artist on 88.5 WXPN.
Our goal right now is to get hooked up with the college circuit and the festival scene! Check out our Promo EPK video live at the Trocadero in Philly. The ending is a MUST SEE!
Here's what people in the industry have to say:
"Philadelphia has long been home to a musical stew that combines ingredients ranging from jazz to phunk to hiphop to reggae to jambands - Disciples of Groove are the latest to add their own pinch of spice to that simmering pot. Picking up the ball from G.Love, Fathead, Townhall, and others, DoG are working on becoming the latest and greatest Philly export."

"Here's a band I saw at the Brotherly Shove Fest--excellent musicians--it was an awesome set. They're called Disciples of Groove, and a groove it is, man... Diggin' this noise? I am."
Paul Jaxon
93.3 WMMR - Philadelphia, PA
"It's exciting and electric, funky and eccentric. The directions of these Disciples will pull listeners into an aural tug-of-war with funk and rock. While this combination is no second-coming of the wheel, these musicians have laced their flavor with fatty punches and natural orchestration. Top-notch musicianship all around- and with the gift to not overplay. Vocally they're working with the crisp 70's innocence of 1-inch tape and no effects."
Anthony Caroto
Origivation Magazine
"Basically, they (Disciples of Groove) make sure to cover all facets to appease your musical preference so it's almost impossible to find something you don't like in each and every one of their songs...So don't fret if you're brainwashed by commercial radio...be in any musical mood you wish, Disciples of Groove will hit that taste bud and get your booty shakin'."

"I know the Disciples of Groove will have a solid future because they have a great respect for their past."
Legendary Producer/Engineer, Jim Tullio

Disciples Of Groove stay true to their name in sound, spirit, energy, and life.
author: Sarah Gant
Disciples of Groove's sound completely depicts their band's name. The music is the sound of four talented musicians following their heart and soul. You can hear that in the lyrics, in the jazzy sound waves, and in the energy and heat of the crowd. DOG has created their own Company Policy in their own genre of music. The saxophone adds color to the sound, which most bands are deprived of. The drums provide a strong foundation and keep the band sounding upbeat. The bass is consistently amazing the listeners and the singing adds a genuine flavor and personality to the whole ensemble. In essence, Disciples of Groove have a rare quality of sound that represents the different levels of life everyone can relate to.

Remember when....
author: Matt Landis
...music was what really mattered in the music industry? When bands like Funkadelic were blowing up? When Curtis Mayfield and James Brown were reinventing our entire concept of groove? Remember when cats like Coltrane could lay down some knowledge with a tune like Gian Steps? Probably not. All of that happened 30 or more years ago. D.O.G are one of the few bands hearkening back to that tradition of well...talent, ambition, and musicianship. They blend together the virtuosity and artful arrangements of bands like Rush and early Yes with the solid backbone and neck-snapping funk of the Meters and the Chilli Peppers. Their songs are catchy, the musicianship incomparable. So do the music industry a favor--send them a message, and make sure it's loud, crude, and filled with profanity. BUY THIS CD. Stop supporting coroporate pablum and support the invigorating style represented on D.O.G.'s ep. If not for yr sake, then the sake of yr children's idea of taste. After all, do you really want them to live their life believing Fall Out Boy was the best band of their generation?

Uh. Maze. Zing.

Man, I remember hearing the early demos of this CD and calling those amazing. Every couple weeks or so a new song would be added to demos until it became this 7 song EP. Each track brings you through amazing instrumentals and amazing lyrics-- a hard combination to find in new music on the radio, and especially locally.
