The Thanes

Produced in 1980 initially as the Green Telescope, then your Thanes of Cawdor, this Edinburgh outfit provides seen many personnel changes over time, although they will always be led by singer/guitarist Lenny Helsing. Another continuous in the band’s life expectancy continues to be the unmistakable impact of jangling ’60s garage area rock and roll. The Thanes’ initial record, The Thanes of Cawdor, premiered in 1987 and noticed them earn support slots using the Soup Dragons, Primal Scream, as well as the re-formed originals (and affects) the Remains to be, Sonics, and ? & the Mysterians. THE ENTIRE Undignified Nobleman Periods surfaced in 1997 for the Italian Misty Street label and presented typically ’60s-influenced self-penned slashes, plus addresses of Caretakers of Deception as well as the Think Who amounts. Third studio room recording Downbeat & Folked Up, released on Screaming Apple (2003), was documented at Liam Watson’s Toerag Studio room in London and presented a cover from the Beau Brummels’ “Don’t Speak to Strangers.” The Thanes’ result up to 2001 can be neatly captured for the Rev-Ola compilation Evolver (2004), and on a live recording, A Night time in Great Ruler Road (suitably “documented reside in a dingy cellar,” as the cover areas), released on Larsen in 2007. Between 2010 and 2012, the Thanes joined up with the resurrected lineup of revered ’60s defeat/psych combo (and fellow Scots) the Poets, and after quite a few years returned towards the studio room themselves in 2013 with Angus McPake (acoustic guitar/body organ/vocals), Tag Hunter (bass/vocals), and Mike Goodwin (drums) becoming a member of Helsing. The discharge on State Information, “She’s RETURNING if you ask me,” presented a cover from the Poets’ “Like Is Fading Aside” for the flip. This is adopted in 2014 from the Dirty Water-issued solitary “Dishin’ the Dirt.”
