‘Maybe I Should Drive’ was one of the earliest songs the band worked on and ‘Circling the Circumstance’ (which begins Side Two of the record) is a song the band only started playing live again last year.

After Cake’s opener, ‘Obscurity Knocks’, Reader mentioned the scientific fact that everyone’s cells completely re-generate every seven years…making these songs (from 1990) a full four generations ago, to crowd laughter along to the funny analogy. The unplugged format let the lyrics and wordplay of the songs stand out more, with melodies and occasional vocal harmonies seemingly effortless and often cloud-like in their weightlessness. Vocalist Reader made the time machine quip, tuning his guitar as the band prepared to play their debut-full-length in running order, with guitarist Livingston mostly head-down, concentrating on playing the only electric guitar on stage, plugged into a small speaker sitting on the chair across from him. Douglas told a story of a small nearby island where teens would go to hang out as a sort of rite of passage that would inspire ‘Freetime’ and mentioned before 1996’s ‘How Can I Apply…?’ that they were hoping the older albums would be reissued soon (to loud applause) once they “could manage to get somebody to answer the phone at Universal”. Latest album, 2016’s Wild Pendulum was funded via a pre-order campaign with PledgeMusic and the band’s very loyal fan base remains strong, with those who paid additional for the VIP experience, filling the first two reserved rows of seats at the Amsterdam.īefore playing the seminal albums, the trio warmed up the crowd with four songs to begin the first set, beginning with 2004’s ‘Got Carried Away’ and ‘All the Dark Horses’. The band formed in 1987 in a small western Scottish coastal town, releasing their first album, Cake, in the summer of 1990 with second album, I’ve Seen Everything (produced by Gentle Giant’s Ray Shulman) following in 1993. The evening’s format would be two sets in an almost all-acoustic seated setting, with the band’s core trio of John Douglas, Paul Livingston and Frank Reader, also relating a few stories along the way. Paul, for what’s almost become an annual visit this time playing not one, but two albums in their entirety, along with a handful of other songs.
After many years away, Irvine, Scotland indie-pop/rock band The Trashcan Sinatras returned to the Amsterdam Bar and Hall in downtown St.
