Time was when alongside, say Prefab Sprout, The Blue Nile, Danny Wilson, Del Amitri, and Aztec Camera, the Trashcan Sinatras were among a classic era with their stunning debut release Cake, our original cassette copy worn down to a wobbly, stringy mess given its frequent rotation.
The difference between the Sinatras and the other aforementioned bands is that they’re quite happily still at it—both recording and touring. As to the latter point, the band hits the road this month for a trek through the US—their largest ever in the States—playing both their debut Cake and its follow-up, 1993’s I’ve Seen Everything in full and acoustic, among other highlights from their catalog.
