An underground, nostalgic power pop artist.
In 1991, mastermind Olaf Schumacher formed THE GROOVY CELLAR. Named after a neo-sixties club in London in the early 80s, this more than hints at the musical direction they are heading in. In addition to three albums, the group has released a series of singles and EPs for Twang!, Marsh-Marigold and Firestation Records, as well as several compilation contributions worldwide. THE GROOVY CELLAR have shared the stage live with artists as diverse as Cleaners From Venus, Ian Brown (Stone Roses), Television Personalities, The Movement, Stone Foundation, Graham Day & The Gaolers, Liga der Gewöhnlichen Gentlemen, and Fehlfarben. In spring 2023, they successfully played their first concerts in the UK together with their mates from The New Fools. They were also part of the Ramstein Doku Centre's ‘Ram(m)stein, Ramones & Lois Lane’ exhibition about the influence of US troops on the lives and culture of the German population. In October 2024 the band has released "A Certain Girl", their contribution to the 7` split-single with The New Fools (UK) on Worldcup Records. Clearly influenced by the classic songwriting of the sixties, THE GROOVY CELLAR are simply pop, or - let's say - indie-mod-pop would be more accurate.
The Groovy Cellar plays upbeat indie-mod-pop heavily influenced by classic sixties songwriting, incorporating elements of power pop, garage rock, and britpop, with releases on labels such as Firestation Records.
