Sid The Cat Presents Flamin' Groovies W/ The Tigerellas 7/18/2024 at Zebulon 21+ Originating in San Francisco in 1965, the FLAMIN' GROOVIES have 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." The current lineup features Cyril Jordan, Tony Sales on drums, Atom Ellis on bass. 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. Their place in history is well established as one of the all-time greatest bands from San Francisco (and the world) and as progenitors of real rock 'n' roll. A little history: The Flamin' Groovies story goes all the way back to 1965 when the band began as the Chosen Few in their hometown of San Francisco, California. After a name change and a self-released 10-inch album called Sneakers, which sold amazingly well, the band caught the attention of Columbia who sent them into the studio with a big budget to record their first real album, Supersnazz, on the Epic label. Their next two albums were on Kama Sutra, Flamingo, and the revered classic Teenage Head. The Tigerellas Melanie Vammen, Karen Basset and Sheri Weinstein (members of The Pandoras) along with Natalie Sweet are rockin’ their garage pop roots! Doing what they’ve always done and playing your favorite tunes! With Karen taking over lead vocals and guitar, Melanie on guitar and backing vocals, Natalie on bass and harmonies and Sheri on drums and backing vocals. "We always celebrate the lives of our badass bandmates and family, Paula Pierce and Kim Shattuck, who left us way too young. You’re sure to shake your hips and bang your head as you dig a rockin’ fun time!” ~ The Tigerellas
