The Groovie Ghoulies were a punk … Read Full Bio ↴Sacramento, California (1983-2007)
The Groovie Ghoulies were a punk rock'n'roll band from Sacramento, California consisting of Kepi, Roach, and Scampi. They were around for many years and committed themselves to being constantly, dedicatedly touring the world spreading Ghoulish Love. They broke up in May of 2007.
Every show is treated as an event. Since 1997 they have done 7 U.S. tours, 2 Canadian tour, and 3 European tours.
Beyond their B-movie, rock, and punk influences, the Ghoulies make the most of the touring life. They have forsaken the tired rock stereotypes of drugs and self-destruction to go to Mount Rushmore, Graceland, Roswell, or hang out with other bands.
Although it's nothing like a Kiss or Rob Zombie show, the Ghoulies decorate the stage with a few toys and things to provide themselves and the crowd a level of comfort and familiarity. Prizes are often thrown, requests are often taken.

In the song "All Aboard" by Groovie Ghoulies, the lyrics are describing a train journey through various cities and states in the United States. The train begins in Nelenberg and then travels through Kingston to reach the cities of Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo. The journey continues towards Erie Penn and Lake Shore, where the train whistles at a town called Larane before heading to Toledo. The train then passes through Indiana and Ohio before reaching Chicago, where passengers change trains. The journey continues through Bloomington and Big Tatum, where the train takes a right turn, and then passes through Springfield and St. Louis on the muddy banks of a river. The locomotives are mentioned as catching wind, creating an atmosphere of excitement and adventure. Finally, the train arrives at Oklahoma City, where time keeps moving forward.
The song's lyrics are simple but poetic, capturing the essence of a train journey and the various places the train passes through. The use of metaphors such as "locomotives catching making wind feel" creates a sense of movement and energy, which is further enhanced by the upbeat tempo and melody of the song.
