Svelte was formed by two ex-Supergroove members, Tim Stewart and Ben Sciascia with drummer Jamie Woolright - son of legendary New Zealand bass player Paul Woolright.

The three piece have kept a low profile up until now, writing, rehearsing and playing the odd show in Auckland & Wellington. The band have performed live on National Radio's The Music Mix and on 95bfm's Fancy New Band and played with bands such as The Exponents, Die! Die! Die!, Odessa, and The Bads. Svelte have just released their debut single Grind Your Bones. See it here: http://www.vimeo.com/1461893

Hi There,

This might not be the right place, but over the years I've had many requests for Supergroove guitar tabs. I've noticed a few attempts at transcribing various riffs online but they're not not quite right.

So, I've decided to make a Supergroove section on the Svelte site and on it you'll find a couple of guitar tab PDF's for Scorpio Girls and U Freak Me.

Our publishing company, Mushroom Publishing (the people that own all the rights to Supergroove's music) have graciously let me post these transcriptions online, so we ask that you don't upload the tabs to other sites, but rather, post links to the pages on the Svelte site.

Guitar tabs are pretty damn geeky, so forgive me if this is not the right place to let guitarists know.

Cheers

Ben

Svelte's lovable but often clumsy lead singer, Tim Stewart, has reportedly destroyed a brand new copy of Dimmer's latest album during an interview at Radio Active. The incident occurred during the off-air banter that DJ's and bands often engage in - usually while advertisements are playing. Tim was handed a brand new copy of Dimmer's latest offering in order to examine the non-existent CD-face artwork. "It all happened so fast' explained Tim. "When I didn't cup the cardboard packaging with both hands, I knew I was in real trouble".

The owner of the CD, Radio Active’s Damian Christie, politely dismissed the accident despite witnessing the cardboard being crumpled in half as the singer tried to catch the tumbling CD - effectively 'clapping' and therefore crushing the cardboard cover in a rather forceful manner against his thigh.

Svelte's guitarist, Ben Sciascia, also witnessed the accident and felt alcohol could be to blame. "Alcohol was definitely a contributing factor, as was speed. If only he'd used both hands initially, then he wouldn't have fumbled and destroyed the artwork in such a brutal and final manner" Ben said on Monday.

Ironically, the cover artwork clearly depicts a pair of cupped hands, as if demonstrating the proper way to receive a beautiful cardboard gift.
