Teenage Head Gets Canadian
When one hears the name Teenage Head, if sex acts aren’t the first thing to come to mind, it’s usually San Francisco’s the Flaming Groovies. And that makes sense.
The Bay Area band was criminally disregarded by its hippie peers on the music scene during the latter portion of the ‘60s. It’s kind of understandable seeing as how the extended jams of those Dead styled ensembles was in stark contrast to what the Groovies were trying to work out. But in the band’s adherence to its source material – ‘50s rock and roll, trashy blues and British Invasion groups – the Groovies wound up presaging punk with a few tracks.
