- The_Groupies_(band) abstract "The Groupies were an American garage rock and psychedelic band from New York City who were cative in the 1960s and are known for an innovative approach to primal blues-based rock exemplified in such songs as \"Primitive.\" They were a popular fixture in the New York club scene and recorded for Atco Records, later venturing to Los Angeles. Due to their uncompromising stance the Groupies failed to attract a wider audience outside of their local enclaves. In recent years they have come to the attention of garage rock and psychedelic enthusiasts and their work has been included on various compilations such as the 1998 Nuggets 4-CD box set, which was released on Rhino Records.The band was formed in the Lower East Side of New York City by bassist Gordon McLaren. Their lineup consisted of McLaren along with Ronnie Peters on lead vocals and tambourine, Peter Hindlemen on lead guitar, Norman \"Cooker\" DesRosiers on rhythm guitar, and Bobby Cortez on drums. They played regularly at the Scene, a New York nghtclub and became one of the most popular live acts around town, for a while second only to the Young Rascals, and even managed to be signed by Ahmet Ertegun to Atco Records in 1965. For Atco the Groupies cut a single \"Primitive\" b/w Leiber & Stoller's \"I'm a Hog for You,\" which was released in January 1966. However, Ertegun's high expectations for the band did not materialize, as the band failed to score a hit or gain recognition outside of New York City. None of this was helped by the band's uncompromisingly noncommercial musical approach, which they sometimes used the term \"abstract music\" to describe. Nor was the band willing to cooperate with the label's attempts to promote them, even going so far as on one occasion to miss a concert planned for them in Philadelphia, and instead boarding a plane to Los Angeles. The label dropped them, but the band became involved in the Los Angeles scene for awhile, and were captured on field recordings made by Neil Hopper of songs such as \"Down In the Bottom\" and \"You Changed Again.\" However, the group met with limited success in L.A. and eventually broke up.Guitarist \"Cooker\" DesRosiers would go on to enjoy some success with his song \"Try, Try, to Fall in Love,\" which briefly became a hit in Los Angeles in the 1970s. In recent years their material has been re-issued of various garage rock and psychedelic compilations such as the Pebbles, Volume 10 LP and the 1998 Nuggets 4-CD box set.".
