Trashcan Darlings was formed by guitarist Chris Damien Doll and singer Strange? Gentle in the mid-nineties. Originally they wanted to be a glamorous party- rock ’n’ roll band but they almost immediately found themselves lost in a frenzy of drugs, alcohol and heavy self destruction. Therefore they baptized their music Glamour Punk.
Even though members, girlfriends and golden opportunities came and went Doll and Gentle somehow managed to keep the band going. Skinny Shotgun became the drummer in ’96 and Danny Dee joined on bass in ’98. The Dee, Doll, Gentle, Shotgun, and eventually guitarist Frankie Nachtnebel, who joined just before the first tour in 2001, line-up is by many considered to be the original line-up.
Trashcan Darlings had become hugely popular on the small club-scenes in Oslo, even though most promoters hated them, their fans loved them. Sometimes the gigs would almost turn into fights, other times the band would be too wasted to play. Sometimes they would attack both themselves and the audience with razors, cigarettes and broken bottles, and every time they would abuse and blame their audience for their own misfortunes. Still their fans loved them and increased in numbers and sang along to songs like I Just Wanna Die (On a chemical high), Barbed Wire Boogie and Johnny Is A Drag-Queen.
In 2001 they embarked on their first of many European tours and growing sick of their past, the band put all of their priorities into putting on good shows and writing even better songs. During this process both Shotgun and Dee left the group and Trashcan Darlings today consists of:
The present-day Darlings are a highly respected rock’n’roll band both on stage and on record. The guts and gore still loom in the background, but added to this is a wall of guitars, professional stage performance and an aim to give 100% no matter what… The album ’Getting Away With Murder’ got great reviews in papers and magazines all over the world. They’ve toured in Norway, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Finland. Trashcan Darlings are better than ever…
