About Gruppo Sportivo
Hometown
Netherlands
Formed
1976
Genre
Pop
The Dutch rockers Gruppo Sportivo couched their acerbic critiques of popular music, and by extension, popular culture at large, in slick hook-laden pop tunes that cannily simulate the most successful New Wave acts of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Their arch demeanor and clever songwriting won them a contract with Epic records shortly after their formation, and their early full-lengths for the label, like 1978’s 10 MISTAKES, 1979’s BACK TO ’78, and 1980’s COPY COPY, blended angular post-punk licks with disco basslines, massed female backing vocals, and ska-inflected horn lines.
