4-star review from Q Magazine’s Phil Sutcliffe for second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’.

Surf sound? I don’t think Phil’s ever been to Kilmarnock.

Part of the Trashcans 2009 UK Tour takes in the Borders Music & Comedy Festival.

In amongst all the bands (Idlewild, Broken Records) and comedians, they have a date with the Kelso Tait Hall.

Here’s the press ad from the Sunday Mail – who this week, have managed to get the date and venue correct.

Small A6 promo postcard for the release of the Trashcans’ controversial short film ‘Spooktime’.

This was released in conjunction with the Coen Brothers’ thriller ‘Blood Simple’ and if you produced the card at one of the band’s gigs, you would get two tickets for the price of one.

The Trashcans are such a generous bunch aren’t they.

Thanks to John Hartley again for posting this through.

Here’s a couple of adverts from the Sunday Mail for the Scottish leg of the Trashcans’ 2009 UK tour.

Apparently, they are playing Oran Mor twice this time round (top picture). The 16 Nov date should of course read Aberdeen’s Warehouse.

Proofreaders? Tut tut!

Oh! I Do Like To Be Beside The B-Side

From the outside it looks like the regular 7-inch release doesn’t it?

But you’d be wrong.

Slide out the vinyl and you discover that the B-side label is also the A-side label.

I’m not sure if the A-side does in fact play ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’ – the old Dansette disnae work anymore – but I’m sure it does.

A nice wee discovery.
