Supergroove is a band that might be confused here based on the album titles provided. "Backspacer" is an album by Pearl Jam, and not associated with Supergroove. However, focusing on Supergroove, they are a funk rock band hailing from New Zealand, known for their energetic music and powerful live performances. Their formation dates back to the late 1980s when they started making waves in the local music scene as high school students under the name "Supergroove Thing". The core lineup of the band included Che Fu, Joe Lonie, Karl Steven, Tim Stewart, Ian Jones, Nick Atkinson, and Paul Russell, who together created a unique sound that blended funk, rock, and hip hop elements.

Supergroove gained national fame in the early to mid-1990s with their first full-length album, "Traction", released in 1994, which became a sensation in New Zealand. With hit singles like "Can't Get Enough" and "You Gotta Know", the band won a place in the hearts of many young Kiwis. Their success saw them scooping several Aotearoa Music Awards and they achieved significant chart success. A follow-up release, "Tractor" was actually an EP that came out before their debut album, showcasing the group's gritty raw energy and potential. Despite their initial surge in popularity, internal conflicts and changing musical directions led to the band's split in 1997. However, the legacy of their groovy bass lines and catchy lyrics endures, and they have reunited periodically to the delight of long-time fans.
