No idea if it’s true.

Food good. Plenty to drink. Hotel* wonderful. Weather pish!
Sums up my 5-day endurance test away to T in the Park 2010 perfectly. Yes, I’ve been on a wee holiday folks, so apologies for the lack of FHJ posts.
There’s not a lot been happening in the land of Trashcan memorabilia, but I did come across these two postcards from way back in 1993. These were sent out to fans on the mailing list updating them on what the band were up to.
The first one is for the release of second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ and the second one is for the release of the single of the same name. This one also includes some tour dates.
First class!

Small flyer from the Trashcan’s 2010 gig at the Magic Stick in Detroit supported by the The Candles – a solo project by former Lemonheads bass player Josh Lattanzi.
The Magic Stick – better known in years gone by for spinning bowling balls and billiards – is now recognised as one of Detroit’s top live music venues.
Thanks to Roger Brennan from MusicManiacs in Canada for the flyer and photos.
