	The Flamin Groovies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Flamin Groovies were an American rock music band of the 1960s and '70s.
		Their second album, 1970's Flamingo, was a considerably stronger effort and revealed a band with a sly sense of humor and a musical approach that continued to draw upon '50s rock and roll as well as upon the work of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
		In 1971 Roy Loney left the Flamin Groovies, and was replaced by singer and guitarist Chris Wilson, who, along with Jordan, began to move the group in a more overtly power-pop direction.

	allmusic ((( The Flamin' Groovies > Biography )))
		One of America's greatest, most influential, and legendary cult bands, the Flamin' Groovies came out of the San Francisco area in 1965 playing greasy, bluesy, rock & roll dashed with a liberal sprinkling of British Invasion panache, in an era soon to be dominated by hippie culture and hyperextended raga-rock freakouts.
		What made the Groovies such a formidable band was the double dynamite supplied by guitarist Cyril Jordan and singer/wildman Roy A. Loney.
		Quickly signing with Kama Sutra, the Groovies closed the '60s and started the '70s with two terrific records (Flamingo and Teenage Head), but public apathy and the increasingly tempestuous relationship between Jordan and Loney led to the latter's departure for a solo career in 1971.

	Flamin' Groovies: Sneakers EP / The Rockfield Sessions: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Before The Flamin' Groovies became the perpetually struggling epitome of brawling, tuned-out rock 'n' roll songwriting supremacy, they were just perpetually struggling teenage rockers in a world that had suddenly gone all mod again.
		In the late 60s, an apostrophe-less Groovies was fending for its life amidst the roving psychopaths, hallucinations, and trampled corpses of San Francisco.
		Still, The Rockfield Sessions is as good a place as any to start a budding Groovies infatuation, as it marries their early grime and later tunefulness in one of the essential expatriate rock sessions of our times.

	Flamin' Groovies Reviews
		The Flamin' Groovies were arguably the best band this side of CCR to emerge from the '60s San Francisco scene.
		The problem was that the Groovies didn't conform to the expected psychedelic ballroom sound explored by the likes of the Dead, Airplane, Quicksilvers, and Grapes; instead the Groovies were a back-to-basics rock'n'roll band with a greasy, Stones/'50s inspired kick.
		As usual, the Groovies were out of step with what the public wanted, and by the end of the '70s the band had finished their recording career (though they still play live gigs from time to time).

	On the Scene: In Praise of the Flamin' Groovies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bands in northern California (the Flamin’ Groovies’ base of operations) in the late 1960s (the period of their first great recordings) are, for those not part of the cult of the psychedelic, somewhat embarrassing.
		Unsurprisingly, the Flamin’ Groovies were relegated to cult status in the United States -- although, like all good cult acts in the US, they were more popular in Europe and today their best work is only available on imports.
		And whereas most bands would play up the poor technology for the sake of authenticity, the Flamin’ Groovies play over it, and instead of celebrating their frugality, we realize that Loney and Jordan were, most definitely, on to something.

	TrouserPress.com :: Flamin Groovies
		Always more cult-popular and influential than commercially successful, the Groovies, led by irascible but talented guitarist/singer Cyril Jordan and (until 1971) singer/guitarist Roy A. Loney, always embodied the rebellious, youthful spirit that fueled punk, but held tenuously to their musical roots — '50s American rock'n'roll and '60s British pop.
		Flamingo and Teenage Head (years later, the former was reissued as This Is the Flamin Groovies in Germany) are the band's strongest early efforts, taking advantage of improved skills and equipment to make loud, brash records in sharp contrast to the era's prevailing bland and puffed- up music.
		When the Groovies finally reemerged with the Edmunds-produced Shake Some Action in 1976, it was those two '72 leftovers — "You Tore Me Down" and the amazing, apocalyptic Byrds-like title track — which most reflected the group's power-pop reorientation.

		It was not an entirely convincing claim, as the Groovies lacked the trash glamour and showmanship that might have gained them a wider audience.
		The Flamin' Groovies really had more in common with the MC5, who deployed the same twin-guitar assault on white rock.
		This was the Groovies' big chance to establish their credentials as new wave godfathers.

		I'll bet the Groovies were in hog heaven when they signed with the Spoonful's label, Kama Sutra.
		Course, by then the Spoonful had broken up and the Groovies weren't sounding like them anymore***, but the legacy was still there.
		"supersneakers" is my favorite groovies record, by a long shot.

	Review - Flamin' Groovies: Slow Death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Culled from the transition period of '71-'73, after Roy Loney left the nest and the Groovies became Cyril Jordan's band outright, this little platter shows that maybe the hottest time of their existence was between record deals.
		It is the perfect combination of Beatles sweetness and Stones fire that would define the Groovies.
		A kicking demo of "Slow Death" and the UK only single of "Tallahassee Lassie" rounds out this excellent ten track time capsule, which is augmented by highly entertaining Jordan penned stories in the liner notes - just in case you didn't have enough Brian Wilson anecdotes.

	The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action
		the debut of the Flamin' Groovies' Mark II, where they rocked out British-style for most of it (while still acknowledging their American roots), only louder and more passionately than any British Invasion band had played since 1964.
		Seeking inspiration, Groovies leader-by-default Cyril Jordan trekked the band to the U.K. The result was the keen neo-Merseybeat metamorphosis of 1976's
		And while "You Tore Me Down" is a sparkling ballad that keeps every promise the Groovies ever made to Lennon and McCartney, the title song is a different, nastier animal with a riff so tough, propulsive and universal it's a wonder that it's not currently being used to hawk bluejeans or vacation cruises.

		The Groovies' take on "Feel a Whole Lot Better" manages to sound both like a slavish homage to, and an improvement on, the Byrds' original-no mean feat.
		In fact, the whole set, from the cover of Paul Revere and the Raiders' "Ups and Downs" to the Groovies' own "Good Laugh Mun," is somehow like the best music of the '60s, only better.
		Lead singer Roy Loney left the band, leaving it in the hands of guitarist Cyril Jordon, who regrouped in England, and in the mid-70s eventually found his way to the Rockfield studio of Dave Edmunds.

		Beginning with Roy Loney's departure from the band, when lead guitarist Cyril Jordan took the reigns and rendered The Flamin' Groovies into one of the most important and influential rock 'n' roll bands to come out of San Francisco.
		From the fiery vocals to the wild rhythm section, and through the burning guitars, The Flamin' Groovies exemplify rock 'n' roll, giving us an education on how it is played, as they harness the agility of The Stones and the prowess of Berry.

		In 1974, Shaw met up with the San Franciscan cult band The Flamin' Groovies who had been recording for UA's British label.
		Shaw loved the Groovies and released a single through Bomp Magazine which launched Bomp Records and convinced Seymour Stein at Sire Records to sign the band, provided Shaw came on board as manager.
		Shaw toured Europe with the Groovies in 1975 and 1976, met pretty much everybody on the emerging punk scene and considered this time the most exciting two years of his life.

	Las Vegas SUN: For a taste of the Groovies, order 'Shake'
		The Flamin' Groovies were perhaps the strangest of the many strange bands born in the psychedelic haze of late-1960s San Francisco.
		While the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Santana jammed, the Groovies stripped rock music to its core, cranking out poppy tunes far more reminiscent of the British Invasion.
		The Flamin' Groovies were initially conceived as a joint venture for vocalist Roy Loney and Cyril Jordan, the duo behind the band's acclaimed early '70s LPs "Flamingo" and "Teenage Head."

		"Tallahassee Lassie" was released as a single in the UK, where the post-Loney Groovies spent considerable time, but the rest of the material here is drawn from demos they recorded before hooking up with producer Dave Edmunds to record the legendary Shake Some Action.
		While the fidelity isn't consistently first rate, the energy is consistently high and this is music Flamin' Groovies fans will want to hear.
		They'll also want to read the 18 pages of Jordan's commentary on the times and travails of the band which are contained in the accompanying booklet.

		The Flamin' Groovies major label debut, the already-old school rock & roll of Supersnazz entered the 1969 San Francisco pyschedelic milieu like a trouser cough in a crowded elevator.
		At the time, the Groovies' brand of trashy R&B revisionism was considered closer to the cheap nostalgia of Sha Na Na than the rock-as-art zeitgeist.
		Supersnazz is a fine document of Nuggets-era garage rock, its only flaw being that the sound was cleaned and polished by the record company to within an inch of its life.
