Tankus The Henge
A genre bending, never ending, furious and joyous force, London's "gonzo rock 'n' rollers", Tankus the Henge are on the road most of the time, defined by movement, groove and the search for adventure, with influences from New Orleans jazz, psychedelic rock, 1970s funk and songwriters such as Tom Waits and The Band.
Originally based around the songwriting of singer/pianist Jaz Delorean and inspired by the hard graft ethics of an early 20th Century travelling show, they are lyrically and aesthetically inspired by American literature such as the works of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski and Hunter S. Thompson, which they combine with influences from Delorean's family heritage of working on funfairs and in the circus around the UK.
They have performed on stages across the world, from New Orleans to Albania, most places in between, including Glastonbury Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, WOMAD, and countless others.
