Five Hungry Joes – A pictorial archive of the Trashcan Sinatras. Legendary Scottish Band

Here’s an old business card from Shabby Road Studio in Kilmarnock – home of the Trashcan Sinatras from the late 80s to mid 90’s.

Originally, the studio was known as Sirocco, and saw many a now famous band waltz through its doors to rehearse and record – Del Amitri, The Bluebells and Aztec Camera to name a few. 

Started by Clark Sorley, Sirocco eventually made its way into the hands of the Trashcan Sinatras following their signing to Go! Discs. A natural progression perhaps, seeing as Frank Reader was studio engineer at the time.

It was then duly changed to Shabby Road and – for want of a better expression – the rest is history.
