Groupies, The

Thanks to the band's immortal knuckle-draggers "Primitive" and "Hog (I'm a Hog For You Baby)," most garage fiends are well acquainted with New York cavemen the Groupies. Unwilling to hop on the bandwagon in flower-power 1967, the Stonesy quintet stood out like beggars at a banquet. "The Groupies were the anti-hippies as far their music went," says Jay Eisenberg, who accompanied the group during dates on the West Coast. "They were playing R&B and the blues! They also covered the Kinks and Pretty Things, as well as playing originals. People came to see the bad boys of New York!"
