The Droogs

The Droogs were an American rock group from Los Angeles, initially active between 1972 and 1992, with the majority of releases from the mid-1980s onwards.

The Droogs was formed by Ric Albin (vocals), Roger Clay (guitar), Paul Motter (bass), and Kyle Raven (drums). Inspired by 1960s garage rock and with their early sound later categorized by Trouser Press as "protopunk", they released six singles during the 1970s (later collected on the Anthology album), with several changes of personnel in the rhythm section.

The line-up stabilized in the early 1980s with David Provost (formerly of Dream Syndicate) on bass/keyboards and Jon Gerlach on drums. In the mid-1980s, the band was considered part of the Paisley Underground scene, but found greatest success in Europe, and in 1987 signed to the German label Music Maniac.

The band split up in 2010, after a final album, 1997's Atomic Garage.
