The Flamin' Groovies open their 2015 tour on KBOO's Drinking From Puddles !!
The Flamin' Groovies open their 2015 tour on KBOO's Drinking From Puddles !!
Having formed in 1965, and releasing their first record in 1968, San Francisco's The Flamin' Groovies pre-dated most of the musical trends they are aligned with (New Wave, Punk, etc..), and are considered the one of the main U.S. architects (along with Alex Chilton's Big Star and a small handful of influential others) of a style that would become known as "Power-Pop".
The Knack, The Plimsouls, The Smithereens and countless others would hike the audio-trails that the Groovies helped carve out.
Becasue of record label demises, bouncing and other factors, many more casual music fans may have heard their most well-known tune "Shake Some Action", without actually knowing that they were listening to The Flamin' Groovies. But if you talk to musicians, music-historians, record-clerks and collectors, and others who pay closer attention, The Flamin' Groovies are legend.
It is with great pride that I announce that The Flamin' Groovies 2015 Tour is opening with a Live-In-Studio set on Drinking From Puddles !!
Don't miss this historic-sonic-occasion !!
