Flamin' Groovies 12" Shake Some Action

I saw these guys at Easts Leagues Club back in the '80's. They were supported by an Australian band called the Olympic Sideburns and it was a GREAT night.


These guys were a pop band from San Fransisco that started out as a US "British beat" band sounding very much like the Beatles. Around '71 they got a new lead singer and in '76 released the AWESOME Shake Some Action with Dave Edmonds producing. They played with the Ramones at the height of PUNK in the UK and got a whole new audience. This is a GREAT 60's inspired, punk attitude pop record. Tim.

We have a copy of this for sale. Contact Tym guitars for more info.

    Hi Tim, Flamin' Groovies started in the 60's, and what you saw was the second lineup with Mike Wilhelm (Charlatans) and Chris Wilson on guitars. Before 1971, they issued 4 records more influenced by The Rolling stones and 50's Rockabilly... Shake some action produced by Dave Edmunds, FYI.
