The Flamin' Groovies
A lot had happened with the Flamin' Groovies in the nearly five years that separated the epochal Teenage Head album and their return to American record racks with Shake Some Action. The Groovies lost their record deal with Buddah, lead singer Roy Loney had quit the band leaving Cyril Jordan as uncontested leader, and they had spent a lot of time ...

While the Flamin' Groovies' first album, Supersnazz, loaded their high-octane retro-rock down with a loving but overly intrusive production, their next long-player, Flamingo, went in exactly the opposite direction; for their second time at bat (and their second major label), the Groovies cranked up their amps and kicked up the tempos, while ...

Groovies' Greatest Grooves

by
The Flamin' Groovies
During their early period with Roy Loney as lead singer, the Flamin' Groovies made one great album (Teenage Head), one very good one (Flamingo), and one that was flawed but enjoyable (Supersnazz). When Cyril Jordan took over as the band's unquestioned leader following Loney' s departure, the Groovies shifted gears from supercharged roots rock to ...

The Flamin' Groovies
Miriam Linna once opined that the Roy Loney-era lineup of the Flamin' Groovies suggested what the Rolling Stones would have sounded like if they'd sworn their allegiance to the sound and style of Sun Records instead of Chess Records. If one wants to buy this theory (and it sounds reasonable to me), then Teenage Head was the Groovies' alternate ...

Supersnazz

by
The Flamin' Groovies
A flawed but basically good debut album. The band's rock & roll tendencies were compromised by a producer more suited to Gary Puckett & the Union Gap (which he had previously produced), who insisted on dubbing brass onto the material. But Roy Loney and Cyril Jordan's hard-rocking roots come through, along with some unexpected digressions into more ...

Trying to collect the Flamin' Groovies can make you crazy. There are so many releases outside of their handful of official releases that it is hard to know which of the bootlegs, live shows, and demos you should get. Well, you definitely need this one. It focuses on the years after original wildman singer Roy Loney left the group and before the ...

Yesterday's Numbers

The Flamin' Groovies
Yesterday's Numbers is an odd collection, containing all of Teenage Head, several cuts from Floamingo and outtakes from Still Shakin'. The songs that casual fans will know -- namely, "Shake Some Action" and "You Tore Me Down" -- aren't here, but Yesterday's Numbers captures the idiosyncratic pop group at their hard-rocking best; considering the ...

The Flamin' Groovies
The third and last of the Flamin' Groovies late-'70s albums for Sire, Jumpin' in the Night storms out of the gate with the title song, a top-shelf rocker that brings the muscle of the Flamingo-era lineup of the Groovies to the more style-conscious British Invasion sonics of Cyril Jordan's version. Though Jumpin' in the Night never rocks that hard ...

The Flamin' Groovies
Although many assumed the Flamin' Groovies broke up in 1979 after their last Sire album, they merely went into a prolonged hibernation, followed by an on-again, off-again career at a much more underground level. Their releases during the '80s were all repackages and live albums, making 1992's Rock Juice the group's first studio album of new ...

The Flamin' Groovies
When the Flamin' Groovies started out in 1967, they were a glorious anomaly -- a San Francisco rock band that, in the midst of the era of peace and flowers, adopted the philosophy "Uh, yeah, that psychedelic stuff's all right, I suppose, but what about some rock AND ROLL?" By 1976, after a number of significant personnel changes and busted record ...

Named after an annual power-pop festival in the Los Angeles, Rhino's three-disc Poptopia! Power Pop Classics series attempts to chronicle power pop's evolution from its '70s roots to its '90s incarnation as a cult genre.

Buddah Records, the successor to Kama Sutra, seeing that the boys were finally getting their due in the rock press, put together this cool little cash-in effort, which combined the best tracks from Flamingo and Teenage Head with a bunch of outtakes into a sort of "best-of" the Mark I Groovies. The leftover tracks are even rawer and better than the ...
