The Groovy Cellar

In 1991 Olaf Schumacher, Northern Soul-DJ and former singer of the indie band The Most Wanted Men, founded THE GROOVY CELLAR. Named after the renowned London neo-60’s club of the early 1980’s, this “nom de guerre“ indicates what these five lads are musically into. THE GROOVY CELLAR’s musical output is distinctly influenced by the classic songwriting and sound of the 1960s, but not necessarily restricted to any ideological or short-lived trends. THE GROOVY CELLAR are POP, MOD-POP, if you like. THE GROOVY CELLAR have just released their 3rd album „Soulmates“ through Firestation Records (LP) and Vikram Records (digital).

Live the Berlin based quintet has shared the stage with the likes of Squire, The Movement, Stone Foundation, Cleaners From Venus, Ian Brown (Stone Roses), Television Personalities, and Graham Day & The Gaolers to name but a few.

Press quotes:

Rolling Stone (3,5 / 5)
"Berlin's most reliable beatband...The music moves in style between tight beat and airier sounds, between power chords and harpsichord.“

twang-tone.de (Album of the month, 4,5 / 5)
"finely tuned pop pearls“
"Wonderful melodies, jangling guitars but also fine organ and harpsichord sounds“

33rpmPVC.de
"Finest Indie-Mod-Pop ..., which uses Twee-Pop and Modrevival from the 80s as well as Beat or Northern Soul from the 60s.
But as already said, the variety of outstanding songs is the big plus of the LP.
Great band - great record"
