ARE WE THERE YET, GROOVELILY'S new CD is an album that will draw you in as you listen to the vocals and music. Valerie Vigoda, a violinist and singer does an excellent job of making the songs come alive. Her voice and the melodies tell a story. LIVE THROUGH THIS is my favorite on the CD. Overall, the CD is great.

Hopefully, they'll be touring to my city soon. If they do, I'll be sure to let you know.

They certainly are THERE! You can't squeeze Groovelily into any conventional box. They are outside of the box and they are AWESOME!! They are the best new music I've heard in a very long time. It is electrifying and energetic. You can hardly sit still and you certainly can not be depressed when listening to one of their albums.

GrooveLily rocks and this album is no exception. It is possibly the best of their discography to date. Check out "Apocalyptic Love Song (I Don't Care)" for a passionate rocked-out ballad. For something funny try Gene Lewin's self-penned "Diva Girl". Be challenged into action by "No Room In Your Bag" both written and sung by Brendan Milburn.

"Are We There Yet" includes songs honed by live performance and refined by the recording process. This is a quality independent album. The music is refreshingly mature with many layers to appreciate over repeated listening. At the same time it is also fun and lively with an internal energy to grab the listener. Try it out today, you'll be back for more tomorrow.

Are We There Yet is simply great. All of the songs are upbeat, melodic and soulful. The CD sounds very much like Groovelily in concert (If you get a chance to see them live, I would recommend you go--their shows are always wonderful.) Just lovely...I can't think of the right words for this original band and their fantastic music. My favorite tracks are No Room in Your Bag, Live through This, and This is Going to Stop.

I recommend both Are We There Yet and Striking Twelve. You will find yourself singing along to their great songs.

This is a wonderful disc! I saw this band about a month ago, and listened to the disc for three weeks straight in my car. I thought I ought to go back to my other music, but I keep returning to this disc.

The musical styles vary from song to song, but the musicianship is rock-solid and always on target. The lyrics are smart, clever, and evocative. Although the songs vary widely in subject, they are connected by themes of love, longing, and their resulting journeys.

This disc, along with "Striking 12", Groovelily's new musical, attests to the promise of this band. Great, substantial music!

Particularly for music lovers, GrooveLily knows how to bring unique songs to their highest level of beauty.

Apocalyptic Love Song is a can't-be-missed rock and roll extravaganza. I'd put it up there with Hendrix. No Room in Your Bag is extraordinary in its music and its lyrics. Diva Girl and Happy, Happy, Happy are satirical, funny, well-composed pieces about current American ways of thinking. All in all, every song is worth owning.

Simply a superb album. The lyrics are intelligent, the musicianship faultless, and the singing powerful. If you can't feel the tugging during "Apocalyptic Love Song" or during "All I Want Is What I Do Not Have", have them pull the sheet over your head. A perfect conjunction of pop, rock, and a touch of jazz. The only thing better is to see them live, and experience their "Quality Music Revolution" for yourself.

I've owned this disc for less than two weeks and I'm already wondering if I should get another one as a back-up. I play it several times a day, and think about it when I'm *not* playing it. Groovelily's lyrics are witty and cerebral without being pretentious. The raw emotion is elegantly filtered through subtle, powerful arrangement and the transcendent voices of Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn. Even their playful songs can gut-punch you with down-to-earth realness.

If you get a chance to see this band, go. Buy all of their discs that you can get your hands on, but get this one first. The score to their holiday musical, Striking Twelve, will make you love them even more.

I love these guy's music. All three are talented and they produce fresh, upbeat music that's a kick to listen to. Vocals are smooth and clean, highly skilled instrumentals, lyrics that are thoughtful and fun - what's not to like?

I started with the Striking 12 CD that's just come out (highly recommended as well), and ordered "Are We There Yet?" next. Great tunes all, but my favorites are Live Through This, Apocalytic Love Song and No Room in Your Bag. They have samples on their GrooveLily website, and hopefully Amazon will add more samples as well.

If you're tired of Music As Usual, you may find GrooveLily as much a great change as I do. It's hard to be depressed after listening to GrooveLily.
