welcome to a psychedelic experience

About Me

duogroove is a live, mostly improvised, electronic project composed of Rich "the Razor" Girgis on keys/synths and Joey "Bats" Bastone on rhythm/drums. No strangers to the music scene, both Joey and Rich have been actively involved in other musical projects including
The Treblemakers , featuring Rich on Farfisa organ, and The Chronicles of Israfel , featuring Joey on drums. And then there was that summer of 2005 that had duogroove performing with Lukas Rossi, pre Rock Star Supernova, at Cosenza bar in Montreal... guess that's what you get for having a "rock star" live in your basement for a summer.
Stay tuned for duogroove's new album, Space Lab, scheduled for release some time this year, hopefully, if all goes well.
The video below was recorded essentially in a single take, live, with no additional tracks added to the mix - as is evident by its extremely poor image and audio quality. Enjoy!

Reconstruction

Our most progressive track, entitled "Reconstruction," is now up on MySpace. We spent a lot more time and put in lots of effort to get this track sounding the way it does, and we noticed that it'...
