They enjoyed moderate success signing first with Columbia Records. their unique live shows set them apart and helped to to release more than 20 studio sets in the course of their varied lineup career. Their last three albums were released via Omnivore Records. In 1983, NRBQ released their 9th studio set on Bearsville Records in 1983 – Grooves In Orbit.
