groove armada are ridiculously commercial. their sets are very predicatable.. andy cato with his aviators on, looking smug.. "i see you baby" midway through the set and without fail finishing with "super styling" and of course everyone goes mad like they weren't expecting it.
but they do throw one of the best festivals in london.. "lovebox" .. but it rocks mostly because of the "NYC Downlow," where they recreate a new york city gay club from the 1970's replete with hairy, muscled dancers in sailor suits dancing in cages with creepy pinspot lights swirling around. many people can't brave it, as you must pass through a gauntlet of burnt out TV stores with transvestites wailing at you, but for those that do, it's one of the past parties europe has to offer.
