With the support of the Scottish Arts Council, a record number of Scottish bands performed in Austin, Texas at the South-by-Southwest (SxSW) music and film festival in 2004.
The ‘Scottish Invasion’ as it was affectionately known, was an opportunity for a number of the bands including the Trashcans to showcase their talents. Others acts who performed included Biffy Clyro, Idlewild and Hobotalk.
Between March 17-21 the Trashcans made a number of appearances and interviews in support of the upcoming ‘Weightlifting’ album, with their official SxSW showcase gig, taking place at midnight at the Fox and Hound on Friday March 19.
Here’s a promo CD from this time. All tracks are studio recordings.

Here’s a promo of ‘In The Music’ issued to various press and radio stations by Manilla PR, who have a host of artists on their roster – most of which I’ve never heard of.
This promo doesn’t have a cover or any promo labels – just the plain old CD I’m afraid.

…for those sharp dressed men.
Here we have the Trashcans looking very dapper in their suits – Savile Row I imagine – for the video of their cover of Don Black and Mark London’s ‘To Sir, With Love’ – made famous by fellow Scot, Marie Lawrie.
The promo for this single included – as you well know – snippets from the Trashcans very own blockbuster movie ‘Spooktime’ – a fifteen minute alcadelic trip through Glaswegian low-life.

…Trashcan Sinatras in Modern Rock scandal.
I don’t think I could ever class the Trashcans in the modern rock category. Class? Definitely. Modern Rock? Nah.
I’m not sure where to put them, and if their Facebook and MySpace profiles are anything to go by, neither do they.
So how they ended up on this FMQB promo I’m not entirely sure – and what dodgy company they keep too. In amongst ‘Bloodrush’ we have tracks from Butthole Surfers, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and eh, The Chowderheads.
FMQB stands for Friday Morning Quarterback and is a trade magazine which covers Music and Radio industries in the United States.

Rock on guys!
