Fantastic Planet
Fantastic Plastic will be released on Sonic Kicks and Severn Records, distributed by Sony Red/MRI. The record is produced by Jordan and Joel Jaffe — who also contributes guitar — mostly at Studio D in Sausalito, Calif.
Jordan and Wilson split in 1980 and reunited in 2013 and they’ve been playing gigs.
On Fantastic Plastic, there are 10 new songs co-written by Jordan and Wilson, plus covers of the Beau Brummels’ “Don’t Talk to Strangers” and NRBQ’s “I Want You Bad.” The guys will be hitting the East Coast, then it’s on to Europe and the midwest.
The new album brings back the Groovies’ Sire Records lineup, which cut Shake Some Action (1976) and its follow-ups Flamin’ Groovies Now (1978) and Jumpin’ in the Night (1979), which fused the band’s 1960s-bred rock classicism with the new-look voltage of punk rock.
