In Friday Live this week we hear the high energy Supergroove. After an acrimonious split the band eventually reformed, and we join them from two raucous nights in October 2007 at Auckland's Kings Arms Tavern. Radio New Zealand engineer Andre Upston was on deck to capture the performance, ensuring RNZ Music listeners a front row seat.
