- **Event Description**: TANKUS with support from LOGAN METZ

For more than a decade Tankus have offered a visceral, transcendental rock ‘n’ roll experience. The hardest-working band in town, they’ve played roughly 1400 shows, criss- crossing the continent in the process. Led by the redoubtable, the Jaz Delorean, with João Mello on sax and vocals, Dan Hipkin on bass, Jack Price on guitar, Jay Shaw on drums, the band have scored numerous highs, building an astonishingly loyal fanbase in the process. They’re a deeply theatrical endeavour, akin to shows by Tom Waits or the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, but with a modern twist, reminiscent of the raw power of The Fat White Family or Cage The Elephant, inviting people into a counter cultural realm for one-night-only. With a work-rate that far out-strips their peers, the band have created a community that could rival that of the Grateful Dead, building their audience show by show. “There’s no computers,” Jaz says. “It’s a group of musicians playing because those songs are inside them, and they’ve got to get them out. It’s not some sanitised space.” After a decade of non-stop travel, new album Valley of Distraction is a moment of pause, their most focussed and intentional record yet, it’s a sign that the storms of the pandemic could never sink their ambitions. The album was produced alongside Jim Sclavunos, known for his seminal work with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. An astonishing feat of storytelling, it’s a record that thrives on community.

LOGAN METZ

Logan Metz is a musician, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in the American Midwest.  His songwriting spans several genres, from jazz and rock to folk and country, but it’s all marked by artful chord changes, a character-centric narrative style, and a wry lyrical wit rooted firmly in the Tom Waits/ Randy Newman school of piano-based storytelling.

He’s written plays, essays, poems, soundtracks and children’s albums, and in 2015 earned a master’s degree from the University of Chicago. His thesis was a full-length 1960’s rock-opera adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Othello”.  Soon after he released his first solo album, “The Last Remaining Payphone in L.A.” (2016). 

In 2018 Metz won a Fulbright fellowship to teach at IE University in Madrid, but turned down the award in favor of re-joining his old college friends’ band, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, as a multi-instrumentalist.  Since then he has had the honor of playing with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffett, Eddie Vedder, Warren Haynes, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, Bob Weir, and in 2023 toured on piano for Willie Nelson.

He’s currently working on a bunch of passion projects, including a strategy card game, a full-scale stage musical, and a brand new solo record, coming out in 2026.
