the trashmen

The original lineup of the group featured guitarists Tony Andreason and Dal Winslow bassist Bob Reed and drummer Steve Wahrer. Along with Colorado-based contemporaries The Astronauts The Trashmen have been described as the premier landlocked Midwestern surf group of the '60s. The band took their name from Trashman's Blues a song written and recorded in 1961 by Minneapolis musician Kai Ray Richard Caire 1935–2017 who later wrote songs for the band. The group, mostly known for the 1963 hit "Surfin' Bird" (based on [a254872]'s songs "The Bird's the Word" and "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow") is still in activity since its comeback in 1982.
