Artist Biography
by Jason Ankeny
Scottish indie pop stalwarts
the Trash Can Sinatras were founded outside of Glasgow in 1987 by singer/guitarist
Frank Reader (the brother of ex-
Fairground Attraction singer
Eddi Reader), guitarists
John Douglas and
Paul Livingston, bassist
George McDaid, and drummer
Stephen Douglas.
Initially formed as a cover band, they were performing in a local bar
when they were discovered by Go! Discs label representative
Simon Dine;
their first single, the superb "Obscurity Knocks," appeared in early
1990, evoking the jangly guitar pop crafted by Scottish bands like
Aztec Camera,
Orange Juice, and
Josef K a decade earlier. A second
Trash Can Sinatras single, "Only Tongue Can Tell," preceded the release of the quintet's debut LP,
Cake,
which met with a positive response on both sides of the Atlantic; in
the U.S., it became a particular favorite on college radio.
