Grok was a Hamilton "super-group" of sorts, being largely a collaboration between brothers Scott Brodie (bass, vocals) from Inchworm (and later Girlinky) and Grant Brodie (keyboards) from (amongst other bands) Dribbly Cat Attraction. Other members were Chris Fish (guitar) and Max Ward (drums).

The band took out the top prize at the Contact 89FM Battle of the Bands competition in 1996. They took their name by reversing "Korg", the brand of Grant's keyboard.

Bubbles and Noises from the Aquarium was Grok's only CD, released in 1997.

Grok reformed in 2006 with a substantially different lineup, with only Scott Brodie remaining from the original. The new Grok (sometimes called Grok 2), are based in London and include a number of members from Girlinky, who stopped playing in 2005. Grok 2 is Scott Brodie, (bass and vocals), Rob Talsma (drums), Chris (guitar), Jayne (keyboards) and Dan (keyboards). Grok @ Myspace
