So sang Rachel Sweet in 1978.
But there was no singing from the Trashcans when they were booked to play the London Marquee’s ‘Band Explosion’ in 1990.
Sponsored by the NME and also Nescafé/Nestle – purveyors of fine chocolates and the like – the band, well basically pulled out of the event in protest against the chocolateers, but I’ll let you read the story for yourself.
Here’s what was reported in the NME at the time…
September 1990 NME Magazine
Here’s an advert from the NME to promote third single ‘Circling The Circumference’.
The image of George McDaid was taken on the isle of Arran and was from the outtakes of the video for ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’.
George, however, decided that being in a band was never his destiny, and parted company after ‘Cake’ to become a school teacher – but you knew that didn’t you.

But then again, they might no.
Here’s an advert from the NME promoting some live dates in 1990 prior to the release of debut album ‘Cake’.

Released in the Summer of 2004 this was a single track promo CD sent to hip and cool radio stations for a wee spin before the release of fourth album ‘Weightlifting’.
There’s not much to it, just the plain old CD and a photocopied insert.
It’s rare!

…of world domination? Mmmm, perhaps not.
One of my earlier posts will give you all the info you need on the Westwood One Radio Networks.
This is another rare CD which includes the tracks ‘Iceberg’ and ‘Remember Phil’. The latter, as you well know, is in fact ‘Twisted And Bent’ – but when this acoustic session was recorded the song had no official title. It is introduced by Frank as a ‘world exclusive’ and is rather good.
Both tracks eventually appeared on the 7-inch vinyl bootleg which accompanied some copies of the Autopsy fanzine. More on both of these here and here.
