MORE INFO ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE- Flamin' Groovies is an American rock music band whose peak was in the 1960s and 1970s. They began in San Francisco in 1965, founded by Cyril Jordan and Roy Loney. The group have been called one of the forerunners of punk rock, and they also had a major influence on the power pop genre. 

Career

Their first EP, 1968's Sneakers, was self-released and featured Jordan (guitar, vocals), Loney (guitar, vocals), George Alexander (bass, harmonica, vocals), Tim Lynch (guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Danny Mihm (drums). As a result of its success, they were signed to a contract by Epic Records and released 1969's Supersnazz. It contained both re-creations of 1950s rock and roll and more melodic songs that anticipated the power pop movement of the 1970s—a genre to which the Flamin' Groovies would eventually contribute significant work. However, the album's low sales led to their release by Epic. They then signed to Kama Sutra Records for their next two albums, 1970's Flamingo and 1971's Teenage Head. Teenage Head is listed in the 2006 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

In 1971, Loney left the band 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. Tim Lynch left the band along with Loney and was replaced by James Farrell. In 1972, the band teamed up with British producer Dave Edmunds and reached a deal to sign with United Artists Records, but the deal was never expanded beyond two single releases, which effectively left the band in limbo for two years. Little was heard of the group during this period except for the two 1972 United Artists singles: the 1972 anti-drug song "Slow Death" (co-written by Loney and Jordan before Loney's departure) and a cover version of Freddie Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie". During this lull, drummer Danny Mihm also left the band, to be replaced by David Wright. Finally in 1975, the Flamin' Groovies signed to the new (but poorly distributed) label Sire Records, and recorded and released (in 1976) Shake Some Action, produced by Edmunds, which received rave critical reviews.

The Groovies were supported by the Ramones in London on July 4, 1976 (which was coincidentally the US's bicentennial) in the latter band's first ever appearance in the UK. This concert has been widely noted as a seminal moment in the development of punk rock.

Sire's distribution was taken over by Warner Bros. Records in 1977, and so the Groovies returned to a major label; however, James Farrell then left the band, to be replaced by Mike Wilhelm. The band then recorded two more albums for Sire/Warners, 1978's Flamin' Groovies Now, also produced by Dave Edmunds, and 1979's Jumpin' in the Night, produced by Jordan and Roger Bechirian.

The commercial failure of Jumping' in the Night led Chris Wilson to quit the Flamin' Groovies in 1980. After a 1987 live re-recordings of older material entitled One Night Stand, featuring only Jordan and Alexander from the original band,[7] and a 1989 greatest hits album focused on the Jordan-Wilson recordings entitled Groovies' Greatest Grooves, the Flamin' Groovies disbanded in 1992.
