Tracks list

       The Trashmen, a Minneapolis band, recorded the 1:20-minute "Surfin Bird"
in the basement of George Garrett's record shop in the fall of 1963. Recorded in
the basement of George Garrett's record store. When they played the tape to Bill
Diehl, a DJ at Minneapolis radio station WDGY, he said it was too short and
suggested they re-record it. The Trashmen were taken by Garrett to Kay Bank
Studios four blocks away and re-recorded. Released in November on the Garrett
label, "Surfin Bird" received airplay on WDGY, selling 3,000 copies in its first
week and reaching #3 in Minneapolis in its second week. The record was
distributed by Soma Records and was a hit everywhere, climbing to #4 in the U.S.
in January 1964. The hit hit song "Crazy" galvanized Minneapolis teens, and many
teen bands visited Kay Bank Studios to make records with Garrett, including The
Gestures, who went on to become one of the most popular teen bands of all time.
Some of these groups, like The Gestures and The Castaways, had national
hits.This compilation is a collection of Soma Records/Kay Bank Studios-related
material that captures the vibrancy of the Minneapolis teen scene from 1964 to
1966. It is full of the charm of the local teen garage scene, which was
different from that of New York and Los Angeles, more down-to-earth and more
"Bird Fever" than "British Fever".
