the Trashmen

In the wonderfully insane world of the Trashmen it makes perfect sense that one of the most stupendous, drywall-rattling surf bands ever would come from Minneapolis — about as far from the beach-and-bikini scene as you can get! Anyone who's ever been severely jolted by Trashmen anthems like "Surfin' Bird" and "Bird Dance Beat" knows the unparalleled joy of flailing about helplessly to Tony Andreason's blistering guitar and the manic, rumbling vocals of drummer Steve Wahrer. If only Trashmen records had been loaded into that outward-bound rocket ship years ago, the galaxy would be a much safer place today!
