Melody Maker’s Jonathan Selzer demands a refund after watching the Trashcans at London University.

This was an early gig with The Seers, The Milltown Brothers and headliners Ride from April 1990 and preceded the Trashcans’ gigs with Prefab Sprout later that year.

I’m sure they played a blinder, but then perhaps Jonathan didn’t understand.

Chris Roberts from Melody Maker obviously didn’t like the Trashcans’ second single, ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’

How dare he.
