      One of the books collecting too much dust on my nightstand is Surd Beat by Kent Crowley- ever read it? Looks like a good book, but I'm judging by the cover. I'll be cracking the spine on that book..... anyday now! :D Thanks so much for the welcome! Truly appreciated. :)

They never technically broke up , but , as they're spread out between Minnesota , New York and Chicago , they only get together to play , write and record sporadically , at best. They did three reunion shows in the 90's. They have two CDs that should be pretty easy to find online. Bill also briefly played with Crow ( "Evil Woman Don't Play Your Games With Me") and even twice with Bill Haley and The Comets.

I've seen The Trashmen a few times , they've still got it ....But , I saw 'em once , closing the Ponderosa Stomp opposite Thee Midniters , who were every bit as good , AND really put on a show ! It was close , but , that time , I have to say The Trashmen were a close second.

They were planning to make this reunion an ongoing thing , but , Keyboard Player , Gary Omerza , died , suddenly. The live footage is very good , and you get brownie points if you find the Novas doing "The Crusher", live , along the way.
