Here’s a press cutting from the June 2009 issue of Japanese music magazine ‘Rockin’ On’. It includes a recent interview with the band (mainly Frank via telephone), where new album ‘In The Music’ is discussed.

Translation may follow, if I get clearance – which means my headline doesn’t make much sense. Sorry!

Small adverts from Japanese music magazine ‘Rockin’ On’, promoting the release of debut album ‘Cake’.

I don’t really know that much about the magazine – sorry.

Three In The Park

This triple CD showcased some of the bands who played Scotland’s ‘T In The Park’ festival in 1994, 1995 and 1996.

Featured here are tracks from artists as diverse as Oasis, Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead and, eh, Kylie Minogue.

The Trashcans’ ‘Twisted And Bent’ is included on the second CD from their performance at the festival in 1995.

This release was available on CD, Vinyl and Cassette formats, although it should be noted that these are not live tracks, just the standard studio recordings I’m afraid.

A great compilation all the same.

Cake Anyone?

Everyone loves Cake, but I think I may have overdone it.

It wasn’t until I bought the new super-duper, hi-res, super high material version that I realised I have six copies of the debut album. Overkill maybe, but you can never have enough Cake right?

Included here are the US, Canadian, UK releases and three from Japan – two of which include six extra tracks.

Now, when is that new re-release coming out again?
