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 see this cult band on stage, whose influence still resonates today.

Formed in San Francisco in 1965, Flamin' Groovies made rock history 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 (and later Chris Wilson), managed to capture the energy of the 60s and project it into subsequent decades. Their early albums, such as « Supersnazz » (1969) and « Flamingo » (1970), are manifestos of garage rock, while works like « Shake Some Action » (1976), produced by Dave Edmunds, established them as major figures of power pop, a genre they helped define.

Their discography is punctuated by iconic tracks that have spanned eras, such as the energetic « Slow Death » or the timeless classic « Shake Some Action ». 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 insolence. Their sound, characterised by incisive guitars and catchy melodies, has influenced a multitude of 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. During this visit to Paris, the Petit Bain audience will have the chance to discover or rediscover one of the most influential and respected bands in rock history, whose longevity testifies to their unwavering passion for music.
