In 2012, musicians and friends Casper Clausen (DK), Greg Haines (UK), Francesco Donadello (IT), Martyn Heyne (DE), and Peter Broderick (US) founded THE GROUP in Berlin, Germany. They realised, while each being full-time musicians making records and touring extensively, that they never actually created or played music together. Since then, the intention of bringing together musicians, and now artists from other fields, has developed into an ever-evolving formation of diverse people, many of them renowned for their own projects, entering and exiting The Group. THE GROUP is currently based around and curated by Casper Clausen (Efterklang, Liima), Greg Haines, and Francesco Donadello (record producer & engineer Modeselektor, Mouse on Mars, Efterklang etc). The Group have performed at such renowned venues as Berlin's Volksbühne, Radial System, Schauspiel Leipzig & Roskilde Festival.
