Early Trashcan songs were full of clever wordplay – not that their most recent stuff isn’t – but it was interesting to discover that, ‘The Wee Stinker’, a crossword in Scotland’s Glasgow Herald became the inspiration for some of their lyrics.

Tutti-frutti indeed.
The new exclusive Trashcan Sinatras AA 7″ single is out now. 750 copies have been pressed onto eco coloured vinyl – Green, Blue, Opaque Pink, Transparent Orange, Yellow.
Which colour did you get?
New song, ‘Ways’ is backed on fantastic plastic with the best song from 2020, ‘The Closer You Move Away From Me’ – listen out for the wee nod to Jackie DeShannon. Magic stuff!
The single has been released by Scotland’s label of choice, Last Night From Glasgow, who will also be reissuing second album, ‘I’ve Seen Everything’, later in 2021. I wonder how many colours that one will come in?
Design and artwork was created by the talented Mr Chris Dooley over at How It Is Nowadays in Brooklyn, NY.
The alert Trashcan fans among you will, of course, recognise Chris from the Autopsy fanzine produced thirty-odd years ago.
The edition released in Japan included liner notes written by The Laundries. I’m sure they are very complimentary.

HOMESPUN is a new project combining the art work of Maree Hughes and music by Trashcans bass player Davy Hughes. Maree is a full time artist based at WASPS Courtyard Studios in Irvine, on the West Coast of Scotland, specialising in drawing, painting and printmaking.
With the help of Creative Scotland, Maree and Davy sent out an SOS to the world aiming to raise money to purchase new studio equipment, to produce quality images and enable production of a 4-track digital audiovisual EP.
Within a few hours of the project going live Maree and Davy’s first goal had been achieved allowing them to offer up a number of rewards including, original prints & artwork, early access to animations & new music, with contributions from other members of Trashcan Sinatras.
Here’s an original Lino cut called Mermaid In A Bottle…
