About Me |
|
| 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. -- Cub Koda | |

Music:Member Since: 7/1/2005Band Members: Tony Andreason (lead guitar) Dan Winslow (guitar/ vocals) Steve Wahrer (drums/vocals) Bob Reed (bass) Sounds Like: “I think the way that we got the sound we were known for is that we were playing Fender Jaguar guitars through Dual Showman amps; that’s the set up we were playing both live and in the studio; we weren’t playing smaller amps-we were playing through a BIG amp, and we were playing though outside Fender reverbs, too. The Dual Showman had kind of deep sound, and I liked that. I didn’t want to sound like Dick Dale because EVERY surf guitar player that you heard wanted to sound like him… So, I think it was the combination of that particular guitar and amp, and that we wanted a real heavy reverb sound. In all honesty, I think more than anything else it was probably just an ACCIDENT-we liked the way that it sounded with that particular equipment, but it was the ONLY equipment that we had - it wasn’t like we searched around, playing with other amplifiers!” -Tony Andreason Record Label: Sundazed Music Inc.
