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

While the Flamin' Groovies' first album, Supersnazz, loaded their high-octane retro-rock down 

with a loving but overly intrusive production, their next long-player, Flamingo, went in exactly the opposite direction; 

for their second time at bat (and their second major label), the Groovies cranked up their amps 

and kicked up the tempos, while producer Richard Robinson stripped the band's sound to the bone.....

...Flamingo does a far, far better job of capturing what made the Groovies
