Name of a New Zealand band?

Question

They were a group of young guys based in and around Auckland. Had quite a few hits and brought out one (or maybe two) CDs in teh 90's?

One song with a sample of "So high, I can't get over it..."

Does anyone remember their name?

Not Crowded House, they were lesser known, and there about 7-8 of them.

Sorry, it wasn't OMC either. A large group of 7-8 lads in their late teens/early twenties. There was a skinny white kid who used to do all the raps over some of the melodies.

Answer 1

Supergroove!

The band split up in 1997 over creative differences. Notable former members include Che Ness, aka Che Fu, now with a successful solo career, Joe Lonie, a music video producer, and Paul Russell, who moved on to start the New Zealand band Eight (who recently split), and who still studio drums with Che Fu and Brooke Fraser. Two other ex-members, Tim Stewart (trumpet) and Ben Sciascia (guitar) formed a new band in late 2005 called Svelte.

Supergroove released three albums of original content, Traction, Tractor, and Backspacer, one remix album (Great Mixes) and, more recently, a 'Best Of' Compilation, Postage.

Answer 2

The only NZ band I remember was called OMC; they had a hit in the States called, "How Bizarre".

Answer 3

Could it be Crowded House?
