The Defiants

The Defiants

The Defiants were a Minnesota based garage rock band in the sixties. The Defiants were formed in Clara City, Minnesota by Steve Henslin, Doug Gerken, Donny "Mixer" Mickels and Dewayne "Smitty" Smith. Steve Henslin later left and Mike Shaw (bass and vocals) took over leadership of the band. Mike brought in his brother Terry R. Shaw on drums and vocals. The band consisted of the Shaw brothers, Loren "Wally" Walsted on lead guitar, and John Collins on rhythm guitar. This iteration of the group stayed together from 1963 to 1967 and recorded one single; a cover of Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" backed with a cover of "Bye Bye Johnny."
