The Flamin' Groovies were an American rock music band of the 1960s and '70s. They began in San Francisco in 1965, founded by Cyril Jordan and Roy A. Loney. The Flamin' Groovies' early recordings reveal a debt to the Lovin' Spoonful. Their first album, 1969's Supersnazz, stylistically was something of a mixed bag, containing as it did both re-creations of 1950s rock and roll and more melodic, somewhat rueful songs that anticipated the power pop movement of the 1970s--a genre to which the Flamin' Groovies would eventually contribute significant work.
