The Litter was a psychedelic and garage rock band formed in 1966 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Today they are best remembered for their 1967 debut single Action Woman. "The Litter" was originally formed from two popular Minneapolis bands in 1966, "The Tabs" (Dan Rinaldi, Bill Strandlof) and "The Victors" (Denny Waite, Jim Kane). Tom Murray was plugged in after auditioning for the group at the Minnesota State Fair. The name "The Litter" was presented to the band by Jim Kane and chosen over several other suggestions including "The Mustys".
