Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
One of the small army of regional bands to rise to stardom in their home city (in this case Minneapolis), the Trashmen were one of the lucky few to chart a breakout hit: 1963 smash "Surfin' Bird." Welding together two gimmick songs by the Rivingtons, "The Bird's the Word" and "Pa Pa Ooh Mow Mow," and giving them a freak-out garage treatment, was a once-in-a-career stroke of unmitigated brilliance. The rest of the songs here, a typical garage amalgamation of R&B, doo wop, British Invasion, and especially surf, is never short of entertaining, with a few bracing turns.

 
Artist Overview
Over one of the most primitive 1-4-5 backing tracks ever recorded, the Minneapolis surf rock band the Trashmen declared, in 1963, that "the bird is the word." As far as the band's legacy is concerned, truer words were never spoken. "Surfin Bird" was the group's biggest hit, and decades later the song remains a garage-rock standard and a beloved oldie, solidifying the Trashmen's place in the annals of rock. The song--which was in reality a blatant hybrid of two songs by Minneapolis soul band the Rivingtons--has been covered by the Cramps, the Ramones, and the Beach Boys, among many others.

- "..This is a vintage dance party with the deliciously cheesy ambience of an atrocious beach movie. Garbage doesn't get any sweeter than this.." - Rating: A
