Video: 'People' - The Trashcan Sinatras

With over 20 years of classic songs under their belts, the Scottish rock stars known as the Trashcan Sinatras are showing no signs of slowing down, here talking to PopMatters about label deals gone bad, the anything-goes setlists of their live shows, and the delightful tale of how they got Carly Simon to sing on their latest disc ... After being in the music business for over two decades, it's safe to say that the Scotland-based rock band Trashcan Sinatras are no longer concerned with becoming a household name, especially in the States.

Trashcan Sinatras. I haven't posted this second video from "In The Music" (I bought the CD at the live show). I like all the smiles in this video, it's a nice change from so many serious things.
