about the Band...

On a brisk fall day back in 2001, a couple of guys set out with little more than talent and a dream, to put together the best damned rock cover band in the universe, or at least be something their mamas could brag about….I mean, we can’t all be doctors…“Groove Junkie” soon gained recognition for its diverse sound and energetic performances. As is commonly the case, fate took different turns for various members over the years, and the group experienced a number of changes.

The Groove Junkies- Groovier then your Uncle Sal's toupee after the cat tries to eat the old chewing gum off the top and your mom throws a glass of Jimme Bean on it because the tiki torch lit it and everyone's running around with their hands in the air waving like chicken little and the fucking worlds caving in then Johnny the nosy next door neighbor trips and lands in your grandma's ample cleavage and cries out "My God, that's a lot of skin!", yeah, we're that groovy
Despite a few bumps in the road, one thing remained constant throughout the years, and will as long as we all shall live – The Groove Junkies rock! That’s a promise they make to their fans (junkies), who have continued to share their excitement and support and show up gig after gig to get their Groove on and party! After all, without “Junkies”, we’d just be “The Groove”… and awfully lonely
Oddly enough the members of The Groove Junkies have had a connection for years… Keith Vidic (bassist and the last "original Groove Junkie") grew up in the same neighborhood as this crazy kid who used to pull death defying stunts all the time… turns out that the kid all the neighborhood parents wanted their children to stay away from was none other than Bryan Lendroth (guitarist, Professor Junkie).
When Chris Breton(drummer, Animal Junkie) walked into his audition with his “save the forest” t-shirt and case of Bud, we knew he was the man for the job. Come to find out, Keith would often joke around with Chris's mom at work, never knowing her son would be the future drummer of the band. When it was time for a new singer, the boys searched high and low. When months of auditions proved fruitless, the boys got together and had Bryan grow a new singer from the leftover mulch in his garden. Through an accelerated quantum process, Ryan(Bearded Junkie) was born. He fit right into the madness that is this band. So, that’s the slightly altered history of the group…

The boys step away from their day jobs a few times a week to do what they love. The Groove Junkies continue to make every show memorable and as energetic as humanly possible. To the great fans, the band says "thank you". The "Junkies" are always there dancing the night away, and if you're still here reading this, then consider yourself a "Junkie" too! See you on the dance floor!
