Disappointing.
They never interacted with the crowd - they played and then left.
The Powerstation is an intimate place and they did not take full advantage of it.
Out of 10?
2 - just not rock our groove at all - don't come back unless you mean it!

Apart from the power going off at the Powerstation (how ironic is that!?) it was a great concert. Saint Saviour was mesmerising.
A few more tracks from their Goodbye Country and Lovebox albums would have made me a very happy concert goer but all in all it was a great night.

Groove Armada...Huge Disappointment!

I am a Groove Arrmada fan from way back. Have seen them three times and unfortunately this gig was a massive let down. The Lady Gaga wannabe managed to scream out some forgetable new tracks and butcher some old classics.
I for one will not be buying the new album... If you are listening Groove Armada...please I am pleading with you to go back to your old stuff. Why change a sound that was so good for the sake of a new direction.

Groove Armada were absolutely amazing and worth travelling to Auckland to see!
The range of emotions portrayed in the line up of songs was awesome with many different genres coming through. It was jazz, rock, punk, electro. The only one downside was that they took a long time to come onto stage, with the doors being open at 7.30pm. The opening act was alright but Groove Armada were definitely the stars of the evening with their polished performance and their talent.

Fabulous performance from Groove Armada all around! We all had a damn good boogie and sweat-drenched clothes to prove it by the end of the night. Great venue for it.

Groove Armada were GREAT. The female singer with them was amazing, sound reproduction was great and the laser show awesome!!
Unfortunately the stage power went off just as they were launching into Superstylin' and the mood was lost a bit as it took a long time to get it back again... people had drifted outside for a fag and gone to the loo etc...
They did one encore which didnt last long. Got the impression they couldnt get outta there fast enough....

Overall an OK night despite the power out half way through. It got fairly sweaty after that as the air con didn't kick back in...the irony of power problems at the power station.
I think I'm a GA fan from way back and was hanging out for their classics. The new stuff was sweet, but not there and not then. It seemed they would play an iconic hit, the crowd would go mental, and then they'd play one of the new ones which just dropped the mood back down.Don't get me wrong, I liked the new material, and I think it's a great sound, it just doesn't mix with their old stuff at all.
No encour, but I reckon that was due to the heat, it was a sauna in there by the end.

It appeared to be quite a short set, but I don't think my body temperature would have been able to cope with any more; sweat was literally dripping off my nose, running down my back and down my legs (where's the air-con/ceiling fans Powerstation?)....but... it wouldn't have been GA without it! The new songs rocked (reminiscent of Madder), can't wait to get the album. There was alot of people in earshot that were complaining about the lack of 'old stuff' which was noticeable during their set; little interaction from the crowd, and lulls in the dance energy that people were expecting to get from the classic GA 'anthems'. Was really gutted for the Sound Techs who had, what must be, their worst nightmare.....and right in Superstylin', of all the songs for it to happen, but hey....we heard that classic trombone intro twice, and that alone was worth a blown fuse! Well worth every drop of sweat! Groove Armada....love 'em!

I have seen these guys play 5 times now (4 x times with the full band and once as a DJ set.) What always amazes me as how they keep re-inventing their sound and how talented all the musicians are they source over the years.
This event was no different and they produced a polished new sound that was similar to the 80's music I used to see live at the old Powerstation back in the 80's. The "New Aramada" as Findlay put it, both looks and sounds cutting edge! Well that was until the technical probelms began.
About half way into the 3rd song the Mid section dropped out and most the vocals sounded flat against the bass and treble. Things got worse for the PA when the whole lot went down right at the beggining of "Superstyling" when the crowd was fully hyped up to party. This casued some kind of powercut for the next 15mins everyone was in darkness (the irony is the venue is called the Powerstation!)
It was hard to come back from this but the band dug deep and pulled out some of the classics to keep the show going, all went down well by the crowd who by now were in meltdown mode from the crazy heat inside the building!
The PA didn't sound quite right and it's a shame to see such a favourite and talented band falling victim to a less than talented sound system, I only hope BDO Friday will treat them right.

The show was energetic from go to wo. Saint Saviour (the new front person) was amazing. Her vocal range was spectacular. Her costumes and stage presence were the highlight of the performance. She entertained the crowd with her vocal and dance abilities. Loved the new stuff that Andy and Tom have written and will be buying the new album "Black Light". Keep up the great work lads!!!

Fantastic gig, these guys are brilliant, great performers and AWESOME music! Loved it, although the Powerstation needs better airconditioning - it was like a sauna.

Having seen Groove Armada in a number of countries now, this was their poorest show by some way. The crowd was clearly here to listen to their classic anthems. The band was clearly here to play their new material. These two differing requirements made for a forgettable evening. Their new material is a strange step away from their strongpoints of solid bass mixed with brass, and there were too few glimpses of old material for a fan to walk away fulfilled.
