Flamin’ Groovies (US) + Guitar Gangsters (UK)

Soon it will be the 60th anniversary of the FLAMIN’ GROOVIES!! And the 50th anniversary of the Shake Some Action LP! Flamin’ Groovies are back in action! They are the rarest of rare. A band from the sixties, who changed course in the seventies, never bowed to any then-current trends, avoided great commercial success, took a break for twenty years, survived it all, and have been going strong for the past twelve. Their audience is an amazing mix of young and old, many of whom may have only recently discovered them.

Over the course of the band’s extensive history, they have been described as legendary Fillmore era San Francisco band, as classic rock, power pop, punk rock, garage rock, and a few other categorizations (which are actually all correct).

Originating in San Francisco in 1966, the band has been touring and performing (in)consistently for nearly six decades, exceeding all expectations, presenting their own unique and infectious style of rock ’n’ roll with such cult classics as ”Slow Death,” ”Teenage Head,” and of course, ”Shake Some Action.” The current lineup features Cyril Jordan, Tony Sales on drums, Atom Ellis on bass, and two newer, younger members, Sean Fitzsimmons and Miki Rogulj on guitars. According to leader, Cyril Jordan, this is the best lineup in the entire history of the band, and he couldn’t be happier.

Their live show features a repertoire that spans the band’s career, emphasizing both 1971’s “Teenage Head” album (associated with more old time rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly, Stones and Yardbirds influences), as well as the power pop period (Beatles and Byrds influenced) more associated with the band’s three albums on Sire Records in the late 70s. Their place in history is well established as one of the all-time greatest bands from San Francisco (and the world) and as progenitors of real rock ’n’ roll.

Melodipunk-favoriterna GUITAR GANGSTERS från London lämnar aldrig någon besviken. Vi bjuds på en kavalkad av treminuters-hits inspirerade av förebilder som THE BOYS, RAMONES, THE CLASH, THE LURKERS, STIFF LITTLE FINGERS & GREEN DAY (ca Dookie). ”A melodic ’77 style punk power band from London formed in 1988”
