Flamin' Groovies Live in Leeds

The Flamin' Groovies, an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1965, bring their legendary sound to Leeds. Known for their role in advancing power pop and as forerunners of punk rock, the band's 1970s nucleus of Cyril Jordan, Chris Wilson, and George Alexander reformed in 2013 and released the post-reunion album *Fantastic Plastic* in 2017.

Attendees can expect a setlist drawing from the band's classic era, including the power pop anthem "Shake Some Action" from their 1976 album of the same name. The Groovies' music blends British Invasion-inspired pop with raw rock energy, offering a night of high-energy performances that trace back to their influential run on Sire Records in the late 1970s.

This is a rare opportunity to see a band whose work was featured in Greil Marcus's *The History of Rock and Roll in Ten Songs*. The intimate venue setting in Leeds promises an up-close experience with rock history.
