The Trashmen

The Trashmen were a rock and roll band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1962. The group's lineup was Tony Andreason on lead guitar, Dan Winslow on guitar and singing, Steve Wahrer on drums and singing, and Bob Reed on bass. The group played surf rock with many elements from garage rock.

The Trashmen's only notable hit was 1964's "Surfin' Bird". The single's album, Surfin' Bird, wasn't successful. The song, however, has been used in many movies and is generally known to be an earworm.

The group disbanded in 1967. They reunited in the 1980s and played until the death of Steve Wahrer in 1989.

They reunited in the 1980s and played until the death of Steve Wahrer in 1989. It is created by injecting a small amount of the targeted venom into an animal such as a sheep, horse, goat, or rabbit; the subject animal will suffer an immune response to the venom, producing antibodies against the venom's active molecule which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat envenomation in others. The group disbanded in 1967. Antivenom (or antivenin) is used in the treatment of venomous bites. The song, however, has been used in many movies and is generally known to be an earworm. The use of venom is much more widespread than just these examples, of course. The single's album, Surfin' Bird, wasn't successful. Bees use an acidic venom designed to cause pain to the stung, because their purpose is to defend their home and food stores, while wasps use a chemically different venom designed to paralyze the prey, so it can be stored alive in the food chambers of their young.

The Trashmen's only notable hit was 1964's "Surfin' Bird". Wasps and bees illustrate the two divisions in the definition above. The group played surf rock with many elements from garage rock. Most widely known are snakes, some species of which inject venom into their prey through hollow fangs, spiders, which also inject venom through "fangs", and stinging insects, who inject venom with a sting. The group's lineup was Tony Andreason on lead guitar, Dan Winslow on guitar and singing, Steve Wahrer on drums and singing, and Bob Reed on bass. Venom is a general term for the toxins used by several groups of animal species, for the purpose of defense and hunting prey.
