Flamin' Groovies
CareerTheir first album, 1969's Supersnazz, featured Jordan (guitar, vocals), Loney (guitar, vocals), George Alexander (bass, harmonica, vocals), Tim Lynch (guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Danny Mihm (drums).
It contained both re-creations of 1950s rock and roll and more melodic songs that anticipated the power pop movement of the 1970s—a genre to which the Flamin' Groovies would eventually contribute significant work.
They then released their second album, 1970's Flamingo.
Teenage Head was released in 1971 and is listed in the 2006 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.In 1971, Loney left the band and was replaced by singer and guitarist Chris Wilson, who, along with Jordan, began to move the group in a more overtly power-pop direction.
Between 1971 and 1976, little was heard of the group except their 1972 anti-drug song "Slow Death" (co-written by Loney).
In 1976, they teamed up with British producer Dave Edmunds, and recorded Shake Some Action.In 1979, Roy Loney formed the Phantom Movers featuring original Groovies drummer Danny Mihm, former Groovie James Ferrell (guitar), as well as Larry Lea (guitar) and Maurice Tani (bass).
The band released a number of well-received albums as well as a greatest hits CD ("A Hundred Miles an Hour 1978-1989" on the Raven label out of Australia).
The Phantom Movers (Roy, Larry, and Maurice) continue to play currently, with the addition of John Moremen on drums.After some re-recordings of their older material featuring only Jordan and Alexander from the original band, the Groovies disbanded in 1992.The Flamin' Groovies headlined the Azkena rock festival in Mendizabala, Spain, on September 11, 2004.
In 2005, Jordan founded a new band, Magic Christian.In 2008, Loney and Jordan reunited and embarked on a brief tour, backed by members of The A-Bones and Yo La Tengo.Another larger-scale reunion appears on the recent Chris Wilson album Love Over Money (2010).
Roy Loney, George Alexander, James Ferrell and Mike Wilhelm all appear on the CD, as does Procol Harum’s keyboard legend Matthew Fisher and Barracudas guitarist Robin Wills.
The album is available on the French Rock Paradise label.In 2013, the Jordan/Wilson/Alexander line-up played live for the first time since 1981 in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth as part of the Hoodoo Gurus' invitational Dig It Up.
They also played a series of sold-out shows in Japan.
Their show in San Francisco, at The Elbo Room on May 4, sold out in less than 24 hours.
