“Shake Some Action”, Flamin’ Groovies

This way: Shake Some Action

 Flamin’ Groovies is an American rock music band that started in San Francisco in 1965, led by Roy Loney and Cyril Jordan. After the Groovies released three albums, on Epic (Supersnazz) and Kama Sutra (Flamingo and Teenage Head), Loney left the band in 1971. He was replaced as co-leader by Chris Wilson, and the band's emphasis shifted more toward British Invasion power pop. Shake Some Action is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Flamin’ Groovies. The album was released in June 1976 by Sire Records. The title Shake Some Action originates from a line in the 1965 film None but the Brave.

The band signed to United Artists Records in 1972, releasing just three more singles until 1976. The Groovies then signed to Sire Records and released three albums between 1976-79, Shake Some Action, Flamin’ Groovies Now (both produced by Dave Edmunds at Rockfield Studios in Wales) and Jumpin’ in the Night. The 1976 album's title track “Shake Some Action” (also released as a single) became a power pop anthem and is revered by many, including Greil Marcus in his book, The History of Rock and Roll in Ten Songs.
