I don’t know how my blog turned into a music blog. I will be mixing in the other arts again (je vous promets), but some of these musical notes just beg to be shared. Marcel and I passed some wild time with the Flamin’ Groovies yesterday, and I did a goodly amount of time travelling (set list below).

“One of America’s most influential cult bands, the Flamin’ Groovies came out of the San Francisco area in 1965 playing greasy, bluesy rock & roll dashed with British Invasion panache in an era dominated by hippie culture.”   ~ Music Bloodline

We sure cut a rug. Dancing and singing and shouting ’til we were hoarse. Fun night!!!

Santa Cruz was the first stop on their US-Euro tour in support of their soon-to-be-released EP “End of the World”. They’ll be playing tonight in San Francisco at The Great American Music Hall.
