The story of Flamin’ Groovies goes back to 1965 when the band started as the ‘Chosen Few’ in San Francisco, California. After they changed their name and released a 10″inch album named ‘Sneakers’ (that sold surprisingly well) the band gained attention from Columbia Records, which released their first real album ‘Supersnazz’. Their next two albums ‘Flamingo‘ and the classic ‘Teenage Head‘ were released at Kama sutra Records.
Lead singer Roy Loney left the band right after that and lead guitarist Cyril Jordan moved the group to England with Chris Wilson (formerly of Loose Gravel) taking over as front man. They continued their style of straight ahead guitar driven rock ‘n’ roll but this time with a more 60s rather than 50s influence. This tour, their first leadsinger, Roy Loney, will join the band and play songs that were never played live before.
