About
Infectious Grooves is a dynamic funk-metal supergroup founded in 1989 by Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir and bassist Robert Trujillo. Emerging from Los Angeles, the band fuses elements of funk rock, alternative metal, groove metal, and funk metal, creating a sound that's both high-energy and rhythmically intricate. Infectious Grooves' lineup features Adam Siegel (guitar), Dean Pleasants (guitar), and Stephen Perkins (drums), with a legacy that links them to legendary acts like Faith No More and Metallica. Their music is characterized by infectious grooves and comedic lyrical themes, as heard in their influential debut album, The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move... It's the Infectious Grooves.
How to Sound Like Infectious Grooves
Infectious Grooves' sound is a vibrant fusion of aggressive funk and metal, marked by punchy, syncopated rhythms and slap-heavy bass lines. Their sonic character is bold and dynamic, with a tight-knit groove that often leans on the interplay of Trujillo's bass (such as the Fender Jazz Bass) and Perkins' precise drumming. The guitar work features crunchy riffs and wah-infused solos, with gear like the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amplifying their powerful attack. The blend of funk-fueled bass tones, enhanced by effects such as the Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI, creates a robust, groove-laden foundation, while the guitars add a metallic edge that complements the high-energy, infectious vibe of their music.
