… lay on the bench, unselected – is a fantastic lyric from the Trashcan Sinatras’ ‘I’m Immortal’. Reminds me of my playing days at Irvine Vics!
However, the band have recently received some well-deserved recognition – not before time I say. In a recent poll by the Glasgow Herald newspaper, the band’s second album, ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ was voted number 2 in a Top 10 of Scotland’s all-time favourite albums.
The band are now off the bench, on the pitch and playing alongside the so-called big boys of the Scottish music scene including Belle & Sebastian, Deacon Blue, Love & Money, Teenage Fanclub, Cocteau Twins and winners, The Blue Nile.
Off the back of this, an article has appeared in today’s Herald with lead singer Frank Reader explaining where the band are now after releasing their sixth album, ‘Wild Pendulum’ in 2016.
The article is written by Craig McAllister. You can find more of Craig’s work over at the quite brilliant music blog Plain or Pan.

…is a fine way to deal with a heckler don’t you think?
Such was the response from Frank to someone in the Glasgow crowd for their gig at King Tuts way back in 1991. All very friendly no doubt.
Here’s Craig McLean’s review which appeared in The List magazine…

Here’s a selection of posters and leaflets from the recent ‘All Night’ acoustic tour of the United States, where John, Frank and Paul celebrated 30 years in music.
The band have written and recorded over 100 songs to date, and each song was played during the course of the tour – some for the very first time.
Thanks Ben.

…or not, as was the case in this interview for The List magazine.
Craig McLean met up with Frank, Paul and Stephen in ‘trendy’ Kilmarnock café, La Toc to discuss the imminent release of second album, ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ – but the guys weren’t giving too much away.
The List magazine was/is a popular what’s on guide to arts & entertainment in the UK, with everything from event listings, gig guides, cinema times, restaurant reviews and tour dates included.
