Bio / info
The Groundhogs (sometimes billed as Groundhogs) is a British rock band founded in London in 1963 by Pete (bass) and John (harmonica, vocals) Cruickshank along with Tony McPhee (guitar) and Dave Boorman (drums). Among their early successes was touring with John Lee Hooker as his backing band in England, taking the band's name from Hooker's "Groundhog's Blues." By the time of their first album in 1968, Ken Pustelnik had replaced Boorman on drums and John Cruickshank had departed, with Steve Rye playing harmonica. Rye's subsequent departure left the trio lineup of Cruickshank, McPhee, and Postelnik, which endured until their breakup in 1974. Since that time, the group has reformed numerous times with varying membership, McPhee being the only constant.
