Flamin' Groovies: Shake Some Action 50th Anniversary

You found this. Be the first one here.

Every scene has its great lost band — the one that made a record so perfect it should have made them famous, and somehow never did. For power-pop, that band is the Flamin' Groovies, and that record is Shake Some Action, a jangling, heartbroken, impossibly catchy masterpiece that a generation of guitar bands quietly built careers on top of. Fifty years later the Groovies are playing it in full, sharing a Wiltern bill with punk legends The Damned and garage upstarts The Courettes — a lineup that draws a straight line through decades of people who believed a great three-minute song could save your life. This is a room full of record-store lifers and young converts, all there to witness a cult finally get its flowers. Tuesday, November 17, 2026, 7pm, Los Angeles. Come hear the greatest album you maybe never knew you needed, played by the people who made it, for a crowd that never let it be forgotten.
