The Trashmen January 29, 2008

Unfairly depicted as a novelty act, the Trashmen were a top-notch rock ‘n 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. By early 1964, the group was in the Top Ten nationwide with Surfin’ Bird.
