Trashville is a microlabel and club night for outsiders, misfits and oddballs. Trashville is the home of The UK's premier country trash collective The Trailer Trash Orchestra and agit-pop-punkas The Sindys as well as Los Chicos Muertos and a whole bunch of other weird and wonderfull stuff. There is an on-line shop, so go browse, as well as a bunch of free downloads. Trashville nights happen regularly in London, St. Albans and anywhere else that'll have us.

The Trailer Trash Orchestra....
Made up of members of The Sindys, The Astronauts, Redmaxx and Los Chicos
Muertos, The Trailer Trash orchestra is something of a Trashville
super-group. The band came together through a shared love of Country-Noir
and Trash Rock 'n' Roll, and their sound pretty much reflects this - like
Johnny Cash meeting the Ramones at a party thrown by Gram Parsons who's got
The Pogues and Ween in as house bands.
Within a year of getting together the band were playing storming sets at
small festivals, and this led to a prestigious booking at Glastonbury
Festival's infamous Lost Vagueness stage. They have since appeared at Truck
Festival as well as many smaller festivals across the UK including Endorset
in Dorset this year with Hayseed Dixie. A packed show at The Garage in
London was captured for a limited edition mini-album and the band are
currently finishing off a new studio album as well as recording tracks with
Knox (The Vibrators) for future release.
The luxuriant blend of fuzzed up guitars, voodoo-swamp drumming and
plaintive lap-steel, fiddle and banjo make for an intoxicating, addictive
and original sound that instils spine tingling delirium whether blasted from
a festival stage or in a small sweaty club. Caustic self penned numbers are
augmented by distinctly off kilter interpretations of country, trash and
alt-rock gems whilst hats, tats and low-slung attitude leap from stack to
stack in frenzied ecstasy!
