When instrumental quartet Codasync went on hiatus after releasing its fifth album 'Pan Aroya', drummer Matthias Meersmans and guitarist Bram Van Houtte started Grovgast, recording albums 'Diggids' and 'Heptager' at their home studio Aka Joe HQ. On stage, the band performs as a trio, with Mike Thienaert on bass. Their new live record 'Spur' was released in June 2022.
