The Flamin' Groovies are celebrating their 60th anniversary at Sweetwater on Friday, July 11th.
The legendary Fillmore era band has been touring and performing (in)consistently for nearly six decades, exceeding all expectations, presenting their own unique and infectious style of rock 'n' roll with such cult classics as "Slow Death," "Teenage Head," and of course, "Shake Some Action." Their live show features a repertoire that spans the band’s career, emphasizing both 1971’s “Teenage Head” album (associated with more old time rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, Stones and Yardbirds influences), as well as the power pop period (Beatles and Byrds influenced) more associated with the band's three albums on Sire Records in the late 70s.
Joining them on stage is The Minks -- All-girl Kinks tribute. Get ready to time travel to the era of go-go boots and British rock. From the gritty riffs of "You Really Got Me" to the storytelling genius of "Lola," The Minks masterfully deliver The Kinks' evolution from British invasion pioneers to MTV darlings while capturing their rebellious spirit with girl-group attitude.
