History
Infectious Grooves formed in 1989 in Venice, Los Angeles, as a side project of Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir and bassist Robert Trujillo, rounded out early on by Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins. The band fused funk, thrash, and metal into a loose, party-leaning sound that stood apart from Suicidal Tendencies' harder crossover thrash. Their 1991 debut, "The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move... It's the Infectious Grooves," featured Ozzy Osbourne on backing vocals for the track "Therapy," and the band appeared on-screen performing "Feed the Monkey" in the 1992 film Encino Man. Three more albums followed through 2000, including "Sarsippius' Ark," named after a comic reptile mascot the group used in stage skits and merchandise, reflecting Muir's goofier sense of humor. The lineup went on hiatus after 2000 and has reunited periodically since 2008, including original members at the 2013 Orion Music + More festival and further shows in 2024. Trujillo later became Metallica's bassist, which kept Infectious Grooves' funk-metal legacy in wider view long after its commercial peak.
