Roy Loney fue miembro fundador de The Flamin' Groovies, un enérgico líder y, tras su salida de la banda, un artista en solitario por derecho propio.

La primera iteración de lo que se convertiría en los Groovies comenzó cuando el cantante y guitarrista Roy Loney, el guitarrista Cyril Jordan, el batería Ron Greco, el bajista George Alexander y el guitarrista Tim Lynch se reunieron una noche después del colegio y aprendieron no menos de 20 canciones. Decidieron que tenían madera de grupo y empezaron a tocar en batallas de bandas y bailes de adolescentes con los nombres de Chosen Few y, más tarde, Lost and Found. Se separaron brevemente, pero cuando volvieron a unirse en 1966 con el batería Danny Mihm en sustitución de Ron Greco, los Flamin' Groovies nacieron en serio.

Acechaban en la periferia de la escena musical de San Francisco, sin encajar en el sonido psicodélico que era popular en la época gracias a su fascinación por el rock & roll primitivo y el R&B vintage. Aun así, su EP autoeditado "Sneakers" les valió un contrato discográfico con Epic y su debut en larga duración fue bien recibido. Sin embargo, no fue rentable y Epic abandonó a los Groovies. Sin embargo, consiguieron un nuevo contrato con Kama Sutra y, con su tercer álbum "Teenage Head" (1971), empezaron a cosechar cierto éxito comercial. Mientras tanto, sin embargo, Loney y Jordan se enfrentaban por la dirección creativa del grupo. Jordan se impuso, Loney se marchó y Tim Lynch hizo lo mismo a principios de los 70.

Loney aceptó una serie de trabajos en la industria discográfica antes de volver al estudio en 1979 para grabar el EP "A Hundred Miles an Hour" y, poco después, el álbum completo "Out After Dark" (1979). Abandonó el estilo de los Groovies, influenciado por los Byrds, y se decantó por un sonido más ruidoso con tintes rockabilly, volviendo a entrar con confianza en la escena rock de la época y publicando una serie de discos independientes entre 1979 y 1983.

En 2009 Loney volvió a juntarse con Cyril Jordan para una gira conjunta en la que tocaron éxitos de los Groovies de la primera época, y se unió brevemente a la banda para una gira en 2019 antes de verse obligado a abandonar por una caída.

Loney murió el 13 de diciembre de 2019, a los 73 años.
