Ex-Supergroove Members Form New Band: Svelte

Ex-Supergroovers recruit a Woolright to help gain publicity.

AUCKLAND—Two ex-Supergroove members announced Monday the formation of a new band with drummer Jamie Woolright (cousin to the infamous Shelton Woolright of Blindspot-Nikki Watson-New Idea-Woman's Weekly fame). Although Svelte has been around since 1999 and already been through 3 line-up changes, the band were reportedly sick of playing to their friends and are ready to burst onto the scene. "We're tired of playing to our friends and we're not getting any younger" said the group's lead singer, Tim Stewart. "We have an hour's worth of original material... so... what are we doing?" a perplexed Stewart stammered.

Tim went on to reveal how he wanted the other two members, ex-Supergroove guitarist Ben Sciascia and drummer Jamie Woolright to stay out of lead-singer affairs such as interviews. "I'm the singer, I'm the songwriter, I'm the one who feels the burden of poetically transforming my life's ebb and flow into song...talk to me...I'm right here."

It's unclear how the other members of Svelte feel about this early move by the lead singer, but industry insiders think it's a classic recipe for disaster - and could reveal why the band has been through so many line-up changes before being announced. Source = Etlevs
