A summary on the band's biography by //www.allmusic.com
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. McDaid left the lineup in 1992, and was replaced by bassist David Hughes; by the time the Trash Can Sinatras' sophomore effort, I've Seen Everything, finally appeared in 1993, however, the ascendance of grunge essentially derailed whatever commercial momentum the group still had left, and 1996's A Happy Pocket was not even released in America.
A new single, "Snow," followed in late 1999. They made a triumphant return to the scene in 2004 with their Spin Art release Weightlifting and a world tour that had them wowing old fans and gaining new ones with their typically wonderful display of melody and emotion. The group followed up the album the next year with Fez, a limited-edition album made up of live acoustic recordings made at New York's Fez nightclub.
After a relatively uneventful couple of years, the band reconvened in late 2007 to beginning recording a new album. The results (which featured Carly Simon singing on a track!) were issued as In the Music by Lo-Five in the summer of 2009.
Here are two songs in the latest album - "In The Music" recently launched in November 2009 :
i am a human you are human too can we come together into something new and sow the seed for a greater good
well grow if you let us thrive if you protect us shower us with love and perfect us up from the darkest earth comes the whitest rose
all because all of us are people and people can fall in love with other people people who fall in love
down in the city street two lovers meet with a kiss on the cheek at the end of the week evaporate in the city heat
you and i begin promising everything like orchards in the spring we begin blossoming turning into people
people who fall in love with other people people who fall in love cos were people we get to fall in love like other people we get to show our love
were people equal in the flesh and blood were people equal in the eyes of love i feel like im one of them i feel like im one of them (people) i feel like im one of them (people who fall in love)
i feel like im one of them (people) i feel like im one of them (people who fall in love) (people) (people who fall in love) (with other people) i feel like im one of them
should i pray? is it safe? put my faith in rewards somewhere a lifetime away?
lose all of my friends to these prayers? lose the rest of my life to these prayers? it dont look safe to have faith
lose a life, lose a love, losing all my friends lose a life, lose a love, losing all my friends lose a life, lose a love, losing all my friends lose a life, lose a love, losing all my friends
am i talking to myself in these prayers? or will they lead me to somewhere in death?
should i pray? put my faith in rewards somewhere? somewhere?
lose a life, lose a love, losing all my friends (somewhere)
lose a life, lose a love, losing all my friends (should i pray?)
