Biography by Cub Koda
A Minneapolis rock & roll band, they evolved from Jim Thaxter &
the Travelers, recording one single under that name ("Sally
Jo"/"Cyclone"). The group comprises Tony Andreason (lead guitar), Dan
Winslow (guitar/ vocals), Bob Reed (bass), and Steve Wahrer
(drums/vocals). Unfairly depicted as a novelty act, the Trashmen were in
actuality a top-notch rock & roll combo, enormously popular on the
teen club circuit, playing primarily surf music to a landlocked
Minnesota audience. Drummer Steve Wahrer combined two songs by the
Rivingtons ("The Bird's the Word" and "Pa Pa Ooh Mow Mow"), added
freakish vocal effects and a pounding rhythm to the mix, and, by early
1964, the group was in the Top Ten nationwide with "Surfin' Bird."
Though the group continued to release great follow-up singles and an
excellent album, their moment in the sun had come and gone; they
disbanded by late 1967/early 1968. They re-formed in the mid-'80s and
continued to play locally until Wahrer's death. The Trashmen are revered
by '60s collectors as one of the great American teen band combos of all
time, their lone hit exemplifying wild, unabashed rock & roll at
its most demented, bare-bones-basic, lone-E-chord finest.

Biografía de Cub Koda.
Banda de rock & roll de Minneapolis, evolucionaron de Jim Thaxter
& the Travelers, grabando un single con ese nombre ("Sally Jo" /
"Cyclone"). El grupo está compuesto por Tony Andreason (guitarra líder),
Dan Winslow (guitarra / voz), Bob Reed (bajo) y Steve Wahrer (batería /
voz). Representados injustamente como un acto de novedad, los Trashmen
eran en realidad una combinación de rock & roll de primera
categoría, enormemente popular en el circuito de clubes de adolescentes,
tocando principalmente música de surf para un público sin salida de
Minnesota. El baterista Steve Wahrer combinó dos canciones de los
Rivingtons ("The Bird's the Word" y "Pa Pa Ooh Mow Mow"), añadió
extraños efectos vocales y un ritmo fuerte a la mezcla, y, a principios
de 1964, el grupo estaba en el Top Diez a nivel nacional con "Surfin
'Bird". Aunque el grupo continuó lanzando grandes singles de seguimiento
y un excelente álbum, su momento en el sol llegó y se fue; se
disolvieron a finales de 1967 / principios de 1968. Se volvieron a
formar a mediados de los años 80 y continuaron jugando localmente hasta
la muerte de Wahrer. Los coleccionistas de los años 60 admiran a
Trashmen como uno de los mejores combos de bandas de adolescentes de
todos los tiempos, su único éxito ejemplificando el rock and roll
salvaje y desenfadado en su versión más simple, básica y acorde de
solitario.
