Groundshaker

Groundshaker was a hard rock band in the early 70's. They played a lot of their gigs at "the Continental Hyatt House" coffee shop in Hollywood.

One of their many managers was Charlie Green, of the management team of Brian Stone & Charlie Green, who had represented and produced 60's greats such as Iron Butterfly, Sonny & Cher and Buffalo Springfield.

They had many offers from record labels, but they did not accept any contracts. The band split up in 1973.

Their sole album recorded in 1971-72 at the Paramount Studios. Produced by T.C. Corbett who produced E.G. Mount Rushmore.

In 2007 Morgana Welch and Terry C. Corbett, re-produced the album from their old tapes.

"Never-before released berserk heavy/hard psychedelic West Coast MONSTER album of the highest order! It Includes eight long tracks with furious heavy lead guitar assaults and jams, powerful screaming vocals, fantastic loud bass and drums interplay reminding many of the numerous milestones of the legendary heavy psychedelic era bands like Morly Grey, Headstone (Still Looking), Titus Oates and Day Blindness! Recorded in Hollywood during 1971/'72 at the Paramount Studios and at the Satellite Studios, owned by Wolfman Jack. The band spent time in the San Francisco music scene developing their sound. During this period, Groundshaker played gigs at the Fillmore and every other venue available in the Bay area. They decided to hock their amps and headed to Los Angeles and quickly landed several gigs on the L.A. club circuit. At the Whisky A Go-Go they were told they were too loud... imagine that in the day of massive stacks of Marshall Amps? They also played the Hollywood Palladium, and the Masonic Temple in Hollywood. Groundshaker blew away audiences!!! Produced by T.C. Corbett who Produced E.G. Mount Rushmore."
