The Groop

Australian band The Groop began as a simple rhythm guitar-oriented novelty/ rock outfit, whose biggest hit was Hound Dog (December 1965). Guitarist Peter Bruce migrated to Melbourne in May 1964 from England where he had briefly been a member of the Dave Clark Five.

The second incarnation of the band featured Ronnie Charles and Brian Cadd, and was a fuller sounding band with the prominent addition of keyboards. Their biggest hit was Woman You're Breaking Me (July 1967).
