Flamin' Groovies

The legendary Flamin' Groovies, pioneers of garage rock and power pop, return to Paris for several dates at Petit Bain. A rare opportunity to rediscover on stage this cult band, whose influence still resonates today.

Formed in San Francisco in 1965, Flamin' Groovies marked the history of rock with their unique blend of raw rock'n'roll, melodic pop and rhythm and blues. The band, led by guitarist Cyril Jordan and singer Roy Loney (later Chris Wilson), managed to capture the energy of the 1960s and project it forward into the following decades. Their early albums, such as 'Supersnazz' (1969) and 'Flamingo' (1970), are manifestos of garage rock, while albums like 'Shake Some Action' (1976), produced by Dave Edmunds, established them as major figures in power pop, a genre they helped define.

Their discography is punctuated by emblematic tracks that have withstood the test of time, like the energetic 'Slow Death' or the timeless classic 'Shake Some Action'. The Flamin' Groovies have always cultivated a pure rock'n'roll aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the American roots of the genre while adding a touch of freshness and cheekiness. Their sound, characterized by incisive guitars and catchy melodies, influenced countless artists, from the Ramones to R.E.M., and continues to inspire new generations of musicians.

Renowned for their intense and authentic stage performances, Flamin' Groovies offer a live experience where the energy of rock'n'roll is palpable. Their concerts are a celebration of music, a journey through time that proves the vitality and relevance of their repertoire.
