FLAMIN' GROOVIES - LIVE AT THE OLD WALDORF (1981)

After David Wright had left, a new drummer Brittley Black (from Crime) was recruited and the Groovies also drafted Mark Dunwoody (from Kid Courage) to add keyboards to the live set. The Groovies played on, with only poorly attended gigs in San Francisco. Even the choice of covers was becoming more than a little suspect - with bizarre inclusions like Graham Parker's Soul Shoes! Chris liked Mark Dunwoody personally but "somehow" Shake Some action" with a keyboard in there going...mi.mi..mi! Chris Wilson would left later same year. (B.O.B)

Special note: This catchy 15th Anniversary Concert (soundboard source) was given to me some years ago. I made a special artwork for the blog.

FLAMIN' GROOVIES - LIVE ON THE CHERRY BLOSSOM CLINIC (2013)

In 2013, the Jordan/Wilson/Alexander line-up played live for the first time since 1981 in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth as part of the Hoodoo Gurus' invitational Dig It Up. They also played a series of sold-out shows in Japan. Their show in San Francisco, at The Elbo Room on May 4, sold out in less than 24 hours. They are currently touring, with the addition of Victor Penalosa (Shambles, Melanies) on drums.

On November 16th,  the band was recorded live for this broadcast on WFMU on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T.

A new six-song EP will be out in early 2014. "End of the World," the first song from the release, is the first Jordan/Wilson penned tracked in over 30 years, and it picks up where they left off.
