Scottish Indie rockers, The TrashCan Sinatras, are beginning their six week acoustic tour of the US next week in San Diego.

4. Because if you are a fan of The Smiths, the Marr-esque guitar sounds should be sheer bliss to your ears.

2. Because the band are playing intimate venues which will allow you to get close up and personal to Francis, John, and Paul.
