THE FLAMIN' GROOVIESROY LONEY, CYRIL JORDAN, TIM LYNCH, DANNY MIHM, GEORGE ALEXANDER
One of America's greatest, most influential, and legendary cult bands,
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. Caught in a double bind
of playing the wrong kind of music at the wrong time (as well as not looking the part),
the Groovies were almost completely forgotten as the Fillmore/Avalon Ballroom scenes,
dominated by the Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, et al., rendered them anachronistic.
The plain truth, however, was that despite not being in tune
with the zeitgeist, the Groovies made great music, and managed
to sustain a career that lasted for over two decades

The group's earliest release, recorded in early 1968, was issued as a seven-song 10".
Featuring mostly Roy Loney originals, the band mashed together garage rock,
San Francisco psychedelia, the Lovin' Spoonful, and blues for this derivative set.
Nonetheless, there's a good deal of charm in the over-amped, hyper-speedy
execution, with less finesse than their more renowned Bay Area peers,
and less pretension, too. The easygoing blues-rock of "The Slide,"
the tunefully moody "Lovetime," and the insanely fast fusion of '20s pop
and '60s rock on "My Yada" are standouts...(AllMusic)
