What happens when Ska falls in love with Deep South Jazz and they have a love child born by moonlight on the sawdust center ring in a bohemian circus Big Top?
Tankus the Henge. That's what.





Steve dropped me off so I could have a couple of glasses of wine. I walked in filled with that bubbly kind of nervous excitement that comes with being out on a school night (music gig on a Sunday night? How very decadent!) and instantly spotted the band. To be honest, it was kind of hard not to notice them. Their style is a mish-mash of sharp-suited bohemian faded glamour that has them standing out in a crowd, even a crowd as eclectic as the one waiting for the show that night.






I managed to record a little snippet of a couple of their songs as no matter how hard I try, I just can't capture them in words. To give you a better idea of their style, check out their Cakewalk Official Video as well.
As the evening pressed on the windows steamed up, music blasted out across the campus and for a short period of time people could forget the stresses and worries of their day jobs and just be carried away with the beat. Sinead and I were not immune either and soon were dancing away with the rest.
