The Litter is an American psychedelic and garage rock band that formed in the late 1960s and is best known for their proto-punk hit "Action Woman." The band originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and during its heyday was composed of members Dan Rinaldi (guitar), Tom Murray (drums), Bill Strandlof (guitar), Jim Kane (bass guitar), and Denny Waite (vocals). Their raw and energetic style encapsulated the rebellious spirit of the era, and they became notable figures in the burgeoning underground rock scene.

Their debut album, "Distortions," released in 1967, laid the groundwork for what would be a cult following, despite The Litter not breaking into widespread commercial success. Over the years, the band underwent several lineup changes and hiatuses, while their later releases often included revivals and reinterpretations of their previous work — a testament to their enduring impact on fans and collectors of garage rock music. Albums such as "Emerge" and the more recent "Re-Emerge," along with compilations like "Future of the Past," "Unreleased Demos," and "From The Vaults" have served to both preserve and celebrate The Litter's legacy. Their most recent offering, "Live At Mirage 1990," captures the raw live experience of the band performing decades after their initial surge in popularity, with their punk-tinged rock sound remaining as impactful as ever.
