The Trash Can Sinatras, now generally known as Trashcan Sinatras, are a Scottish band that was formed in 1987.

Background

The band's largest hit single was "Only Tongue Can Tell" taken from their first album Cake. The follow-up I've Seen Everything was released in the UK, USA and Japan in 1993, followed in 1996 by the UK-only album A Happy Pocket. The song "Hayfever"(1993) from I've Seen Everything made an appearance on the MTV animated series "Beavis and Butthead".

After their record company Go! Discs folded, the band continued to record and play live issuing various CDs and demos via their website. The band has especially been well regarded by fans and critics alike for its complex wordplays played against pop harmonies. The loyal band of fan followers helped keep the band afloat until a Scottish national grant helped finish the most recent 2004 album.

They finally returned in 2004 with Weightlifting which was warmly received by critics, and the band completed a 25 date US and Canada tour in October/November 2004. The album fetured the song "All the Dark Horses", which was featured prominently in the premier episode of the ABC Family Channel series Wildfire. They are currently working on material for their fifth album.

The Trashcan Sinatras collaborated with writer Ali Smith on the song "Half An Apple", for the album Ballads of the Book, released in March, 2007.
