Flamin' Groovies - Are coming to the 100 club in London
Get ready for a night with the Flamin' Groovies
On the 7th of May, The Flamin' Groovies will come to the legendary London venue the 100 club, which is located in the heart of Oxford street and has seen so many classic concerts. The Flamin’ Groovies story goes all the way back to 1965 when the band began as The Chosen Few in their hometown of San Francisco, California. After a name change and a self released 10 inch album called 'Sneakers', which sold amazingly well. The band caught the attention of Columbia Records who signed them up and sent them into the studio with a big budget to record their first real album 'Supersnazz'.
Their next two albums were on Kama Sutra Records, which was the home of their heroes The Lovin’ Spoonful: With tracks such as the brilliant 'Flamingo' and the now revered classic 'Teenage Head', the band went from strength to strength. And in 1976 they signed to Sire Records, who released three true gems of Power Pop:like 'Shake some Action', 'Flamin’ Groovies Now' and 'Jumpin’ in the Night'.
