Tankus the Henge

Tankus the Henge

Ragamuffin, street-performing gentlemen from the banks of the wide, slow-moving Thames in London.

Formed in 2006 from a singer who ran away from the travelling carnival and a group of unlikely, strange musicians who just stepped out of a 1900's England, Tankus the Henge will cast a spell, delight and excite you.

Their music nods at jazz, funk and early ska. Citing major influences as wide-ranging as The Beatles, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and The Beach Boys alongside composers Ennio Morricone and Gustav Mahler, with a bit of Jewish Klezmer thrown in, these boys rock a sound the likes of which you’ve never heard.

After their performance at Greenbelt 2007, the band request that everyone wears a hat to their 2008 show. Roll up, roll up, the spectacle is about to begin!

In a word: unhenged.
