Lockgroove was formed in 1996 and has been a regular at local clubs for years. Both the Boston Phoenix and the Cambridge Tab consider the band one of the best, most promising local rock acts in years. And both the Harvard Advocate and The Harvard Crimson agree with the Phoenix and the Tab. When Lockgroove (whose bassist Dave Goodman is a graduate of the Class of '98) plays the Advocate tonight, only neighbors with poor musical taste will complain about their loud sound...
Lockgroove's name is dangerously self-descriptive. It makes clear that band locks onto grooves. But it does not make clear that these grooves are more like the deep, black grooves of a rock record than the groovy grooves of jazz. The band's dense style may resemble the deep, black, concentric grooves of records, but their first release is actually on compact disc. The name of the CD is Rewired. That name is also descriptive; since the album was released in mid-1998, Lockgroove's sound is sure to have changed--to have been rewired, so to speak...
...cover art does indicate Lockgroove's hard, masculine sound, it doesn't convey how psychedelic that music can be. It throbs, like a beating red heart.

...caring, loyal, giving person. My whole world revolves around my family and my mom has always taught me to be a really kind person....In my 21 years my parents have never had an argument. We don't do that. We all get along. Whatever happens, you don't rock the boat. Whatever you do. I can't change that because that's who I am. When someone's cursing at me and I could curse back, I think, 'That's just not you Leea'....I talk to my parents everyday. I talk to my uncle, aunt and cousin...
...Some folks within the FM establishment have referred to Josh and me as "groupies." Well, usually the groupie-rock-star relationship, if it is to last for any length of time, must be characterized by some element of mutual satisfaction. Even the strung-out Jersey girls who hang out backstage at Pearl Jam concerts, occasionally get to fuck Eddie Vedder. And sadly, kids, the only people who ve gotten fucked over the course of this past year have been Josh...
