About The Tarka Groove Experiment
The Tarka Groove Experiment (previously known as D.U.N.E) formed seven years ago in their hometown of Leeds. James Fender (vocals/guitar) Nathan Leyton (drums) and James Knox (bass) played many venues, cutting their teeth on the local live scene. In 2000, aged 17, they moved to London where they were joined, in 2001, by Brazilian Felipe Schaeffer who took on the role as lead guitarist. As a four piece they have been recording and touring ever since. Most notably with New York City producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes) who, impressed with their style and sound, went on to feature the band on his 2002 compilation: Gordon Raphael Presents- Vol 1 (Virgin) Supporting such acts as Martin Grech and Mohair on their UK tours, the band have played at venues including the Manchester Academy, Newcastle University, Concorde 2 (Brighton) and Black Canvas (Leeds) . As a result of such polished live performances, they have gone to sell out their own shows at the Barfly (Camden), Joseph Wells (Leeds) and The Little Civic (Wolverhampton) The Tarka Groove Experiment are currently in the studio recording tracks for their forthcoming debut album which will be released through Consequence Records in summer 2006.
