Rising out of the ashes of New Year’s Eve, Perpetual Groove [PG] breaks in to the new year to kick off the "Save 41 Tour" which will carry the band through four months of touring coast to coast, with stops at some of the world’s best festivals including Jam Cruise, Langerado, and Jam in the Dam – an epic three days of music at Amsterdam’s Melkweg.
The band’s first official live release, the 2-disc "Echos From The Cave," drops in late February. It was recorded in spring 2006 in front of an intimate studio audience at Tree Sound Studios. The release culls together the best from both nights including fan favorites, "Teakwood Betz," "Only Always," and "Mr. Transistor." Also included on the release are several previously unreleased songs like "Suburban Speedball," and "T.T.F.P.J." The album was recorded and mixed by Shawn Grove (Sevendust, Collective Soul, Edwin McCain) and is being released through Tree Leaf Music.
The band’s fall Serious Business Tour was powered by the Green Mountain Energy Company and left a positive impact on our environment. All emissions were offset with renewable energy credits through a partnership with Sustainable Waves and Eco-Tunes. This included all the travel, lodging and electricity expended by the venues at Perpetual Groove concerts. In 2007 PG purchased enough energy credits to offset 100% of the calculated carbon emissions associated with its tour (16 metric tons), which is like not driving your car for over 39,000 miles or the annual carbon absorbtion of 2,000 trees.
