Groovy Aardvark

In 1986, the band Schizophrenic Muff Divers was formed by five college (Édouard-Montpetit) students from Longueuil, Québec. The members of the band were Vincent and Danny Peake, Stéphane Vigeant, Éric Lajambe and Marc-André Thibert.^[4] A year later the band changed its name to Groovy Aardvark.

They released three cassette tape demos before releasing their first album, Eater's Digest, in 1994. Although all of the members spoke French natively, most of the songs on this album were in English. After the release the band toured for two months in Québec.

Groovy Aardvark released a second album Vacuum, in 1996.^[5] The band toured in Canada, the United States and Europe.^[2]

In 2012, the band came back together for a reunion show at the Montreal FrancoFollies festival.^[6]
