TANKUS THE HENGE ARE A BRITISH BAND BASED IN LONDON, playing music
that draws influence from rock 'n roll, Gypsy jazz, ragtime, New
Orleans music, and theatre. A unique blend of reggae, ska and funk to
ragtime and gypsy punk. Front man Jas Delorean boasts not only and
incredible voice, but also some supreme ragtime piano skills and more
than a few belting trombone solos.
The world of Tankus the Henge is uplifting and wild, dark and
heartfelt. A 6 piece powerhouse of a band drawing visual and musical
influences from old time Fairgrounds to modern day Circus; The Beatles
to Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello to Radiohead, they embody a look and a
sound that lies somewhere between their South East London home and the
carnival town of New Orleans.
The band was a PRS for Music featured artist in 2010, and in 2011 was
named by Metro as one of their "Top 10 Acts To See" at Glastonbury
Festival. Other festivals that the band has performed at include the
Wickham Festival and Isle of Wight Festival.
