1960s garage band Men at Work - shame shame

http://www.garagehangover.com/menatwork/ I am proud to present Men at Work – a group based out of St. Paul, Minnesota originally called the Exiles. The members came from the Chisago Lakes area: Chisago City, Center City and Taylors Falls. They chose the moniker Men at Work years before the dippy Australian novelty act and cut one rare 45 with two fine versions of r&b from the day. Gene Markus – lead vocals Karl Lundeen – lead guitar / bass Dean Johnson – organ / guitar / bass Dale Madison – bass / guitar John Lindbloom – drums, replaced by Marvin Glenna This little known 1960’s garage band played with the likes of The Castaways, The Trashmen and other local rock bands. Inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, they were one of the many garage bands that hoped to ride the wave of pop music in the wake of the British Invasion. They took the name “Men At Work” decades before the Australian 1980’s pop group.
