Tankus

Tankus is a British band based in London. Initially based around the songwriting of Jaz Delorean after forming as Tankus the Henge at the BRIT School, the band has developed a style of music which they term "gonzo rock 'n' roll", with influences from New Orleans jazz, psychedelic rock, 1970s funk and songwriters such as Tom Waits and The Band. They are lyrically and aesthetically inspired by 20th century American literature such as the works of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski and Hunter S. Thompson, which they combine with influences from Jaz Delorean's experience working on funfairs and in the circus around the UK.
