Flamin' Groovies Action!

7/6/2013

Power pop legends, the Flamin' Groovies have reunited and are in NYC this weekend for two shows (Bowery Ballroom and Maxwell's in Hoboken). Sweet!

And bonus at the Saturday night Bowery gig -- our buddies The Paul Collins Beat open the show. Double sweet! Bring on the power pop!

"Shake Some Action" will always be one of our favorites jams of all time... check the video below (which seems to be the original '70s track sync'd up to an 80s video of the band... but no matter, it still rocks).

A great week in NYC for Big Star fans like us.

Sunday night saw a tribute show to Big Star's "Third" in Central Park featuring a killer line-up: Ken Stringfellow, Mike Mills, Marshall Crenshaw, Mitch Easter, Chris Stamey, Pete Yorn, Kurt Vile, Sharon Van Etten and many more... plus Big Star's drummer himself, the awesome Jody Stephens.

Then tonight at the IFC Center, we've got the theatrical premiere of the Big Star documentary, "Nothing Can Hurt Me". We can't wait! Check out the trailer below... looks amazing.

Here's a couple more clips... the "Thank You Friends" finale from Central Park, as well as Wilco covering "In The Street" at their Solid Sound Festival, which we drove up to catch last week in Massachusetts.
