For 2013, the
Hoodoo Gurus, with whom the Flamin' Groovies had played in Australia, put together an invitational named
Dig It Up to play at four cities in Australia and invited Jordan to participate. Jordan then invited Alexander and Wilson, who both agreed to the limited tour, and the band added drummer Victor Penalosa. The
NRBQ song "I Want You Bad", one of the Groovies' two non-originals on the album, was previously covered by the group's 1970s producer
Dave Edmunds. Jordan painted the album cover as an homage to
MAD Magazine artist
Jack Davis; it draws from Davis' cover for the 1959
Hans Conried/Alice Pearce novelty album
Monster Rally. The cover also shows images of the Flamin' Groovies previous albums on
Sire Records: three studio albums recorded by this incarnation of the band (
Shake Some Action, ''
Flamin' Groovies Now, and Jumpin' in the Night''), along with the group's greatest hits album focused on that period ''(
Groovies' Greatest Grooves)''. ==Track listing==
