History
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'. Skogie then recorded a new album at Sound 80 Recording Studio which was released in 1974. Randy Levy of Schon Productions handled the majority of Skogie's career in Minnesota. The entire band relocated to Hollywood California in 1976. They had continued success (records and videos) under various names: The Kats, The Nu Kats, Boy.
