In 1963 a Minnesota group "The Trashmen" released a TERRIBLE-sounding record...

..."Surfin' Bird"/"Bird's The Word" but actually, The Trashmen were a quite decent band with fine vocal harmony: just listen to their "Bird Dance Beat" and their "non-Bird" recordings like "Roll Over, Beethoven" -- they're right on! ~ Yes, Virginia, their lead guitarist played a Fender Jaguar, like J. Mascis, Johnny Marr and Lee Van Leer!
