Sunday night Ab and I got to see the Trashcan Sinatras again, this time at Joe's Pub. (This shot only shows two of the four of them.) They're about halfway through a US tour with limited forces; I wouldn't call it "acoustic," per se, as one of the guitarists (Paul Livingston, not shown) plays a restrained electric, and the singer on the left here (Frank Reader) actually pulled out an iPad for a song. (That's John Douglas on the right; his brother Stephen, also not shown, provided percussion.) Because the tour only involved the four members who have been with the band since the late 1980's, it was a wonderfully diverse set which drew on their entire catalog (as opposed to being a strict set list). They might be coming to your area, so check out the gigs page on their web site. (A 2010 shot of more of the band is here.) Me: Frank Lynch Email:
