It has been suggested that this article be merged into Skogie (band). (Discuss) Proposed since February 2007. |
Skogie and the Flaming Pachucos were a popular original music rock group from Minneapolis in the early 1970s. A documentary story of the band was produced by and presented on WCCO CBS 4-TV Filmed at the Euphorium and at a One Groveland concert and a lengthy cover story by music journalist Tom Murtha was published in Insider Magazine. After working with Mark Hughes of North Country Music and Ralph Ortiz of Alpha Productions they signed a management contract with David Zimmerman who then produced their first published record: 'The Butler Did It' (1973 on Mill City Records), which can still be heard occasionally on the radio. Between its recording and its release the group changed its name to Skogie. Most of the Pachucos had continued success (records and videos) under various names: The Kats, The Nu Kats, Boy.
