AN EVENING OF 60'S ROCK & ROLLThe Trashmen, Davie Allan & The Arrows and
The Neanderthals in the Oneida Casino Lounge Nov. 22-24, 2009 • 7:30pm 60's Rock & Roll www.myspace.com/thetrashmenband www.myspace.com/davieallanandthearrows www.neanderthals.com THE TRASHMEN – 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 DAVIE ALLAN – DAVIE ALLAN IS THE BOSS HOG,INDEED THE KING OF FUZZ GUITAR!THE ARROWS STARTED OUT OUT LIFE AS A SURF INSTRUMENTAL BAND,KNOCKING OUT SURF OBSCURITIES SUCH AS COMANCHE AND COVERING APACHE 65.THEY WERE AN EXTREMELY POPULAR SURF BAND,BUT THIS WOULDNT LAST,AS THE KILLER FUZZ REARED ITS UGLY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!THE TRANSFORMATION FROM CLEAN CUT SURF BAND TO GNARLY MEAN BIKER FUZZ BAND HAPPENED ALMOST OVER NIGHT.THIS WAS MARKED WITH THE LAND MARK INSTRUMENTAL BLUES THEME.THIS SONG WAS RECORDED AS PART OF THE ARROWS SOUNDTRACK FOR THE RODGER CORMAN BIKER EXPLOITATION FILM,THE WILD ANGELS(STARING PETER FONDA,GO RENT IT OUT AND GET YOUR KICKS!!!!!!!!).THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL INTO FUZZ,PSYCHEDELIA,GARAGE AND DAVIES OWN INTERPRETATION OF SURF CONTINUED TO SNARL THROUGH MOST OF THE 6O'S FLOWER POWER!!!!!!HE RECORDED OTHER BIKER SOUNDTRACKS SUCH AS THE DEVILS ANGELS,GLORY STOMPERS AND THE BORN LOSERS.ASWELL AS THESE HE RECORDED SUCH ALBUMS AS BLUES THEME AND THE LANDMARK FUZZ SOAKED PSYCHEDELIC DEATH TRIP THAT WAS CYCLE-DELIC SOUNDS!!!!!!!
