Roy Loney in 1993: "When I split from the Flamin Groovies in 1971, (shortly after the release of the Teenage Head L.P) I had no intentions of ever fronting a band again. Was fed up and used up. I hated all of the record biz/band biz crap-ola.
So for six years I pursued my other options (acting, sales and marriage).
I was reasonably happy, but I never stopped writing songs. Who was I writing them for?
Then in 1977, I was talked into recording a four song E.P. for a friend's label (K.O.). The backing band was made up of Groovies and others buddies. It felt good and was pretty well received.
On the strength of the E.P. (Artistic as Hell) was offered an album deal by the newly formed Solid Smoke label. This meant I had to put my own group together. Was I ready to jump back into the rock band jungle? I guess I was. The Phantom Movers were born.
Since the release of our first LP (Out After Dark) in 1979, The Movers have gone through several personnel changes, musical and personal ups and downs, and all of the other baggage that goes along with trying to keep a band alive. Well, its 1993 and here is the band, very alive and rockin'.
The tracks on this recording were done between 1981 and 1990. The lineup changes. The locale changes. One thing stays the same. The Phantom Movers play primitive rock with taste. They always have and I hope they always will. That's the plan, anyway.
Keep the faith,
Roy A. Loney".
