　2002 US ORIGINAL

On August 22, 1965, some 700 lucky teenagers at Proch’s Popular Ballroom in Ellsworth, Wisconsin shook to the Bird Dance Beat of Minneapolis’ mighty Trashmen. Now, it’s not like this show was one of a kind. Heck, the T-men played 289 dates in 1964 alone. What makes this one so special is that it’s one of only a handful ever captured on tape.

The magic moments captured during this show are many: from the opening chords of “Baja,” awash with a banzai pipeline worth of reverb, through the verbal playfulness of “Little Queenie”; from the successful “Trashmenification” of something as goofy as Herman’s Hermits’ “I’m Henry VIII, I Am” to an absolutely insane careen through “Surfin’ Bird,” and the show-wrapping spectacle of a falsettoed-to-the-max Tony Andreason giving Little Eva a run for the money on “Keep Your Hands Off My Baby,” this limited-edition, strings ‘n’ skins-thrashin’, in-their-prime performance by the Trashmen will plaster a smile all over your kisser.

Teen Trot is the first-ever release of a live concert by the Trashmen, and features 20 songs — nine previously unissued — original stage announcements for that “you-are-there” feeling, gobs of cool photos, and more!
