About this concert
Présentation de votre évènement : Après un petit millier de concerts à travers toute l’Europe, les anglais de TANKUSTHE HENGE bâtissent petit à petit leur légende à coups de prestations scéniques survitaminées. Un univers éclectique, savant mélange de rock, nourri au Rag Time ou encore au Funk, le tout magnifié par des textes finement ciselés. Leur univers puise son inspiration par la vague anglaise des 60s mais chez des artistes comme Tom Waits ou encore les Queen of the Stone Age. Emmené sur scène par la fougue et le sens du show de Jaz Delorean, pianiste-chanteur-acrobate du groupe et véritable bête de scène, Tankus the Henge marque les esprits en live avec un véritable cabaret rock bastringue !Vous aimez les chanteurs charismatiques, les concerts énergisants, les voix cassées, les pubs, les univers steampunk.

Tankus The Henge Biography
A genre bending, never ending, furious and joyous force. On the road most of the time, defined by movement, groove and the search for adventure, Tankus the Henge have been making and breaking their own rules for a while now.
Originally based around the character-based songwriting of singer/pianist Jaz Delorean and inspired by the hard graft ethics of an early 20th Century travelling show, Tankus the Henge will often play upwards of one hundred gigs a year in Europe. 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.
Their funk-fuelled repertoire is wildly eclectic, ranging from explosive rock riffs to New Orleans swing, and an insatiable love for a good singalong round the piano.
Jaz Delorean spent years working in the funfair and circus world, so the idea of running an independent rock ’n’ roll band in a similar way made sense - relentless touring, a bus full of vagabond musicians, and everything original, live and grassroots. Gradually, through two albums and a marvellously shifting lineup, the Tankus the Henge sound was conceived.
Tim Fulker (guitar) joined just before the self titled debut was released and hurls his unique concoction of huge riffs and fingerstyle playing into the pot. With Jaz and Tim stomping around at the front, the Tankus horns, George Simmonds (trombone) and João Mello (sax, keys, guitar) add wooze and spectacular fireworks on top of the rhythm section powered by Jay Shaw (drums) and Dan Hipkin (bass).
“Luna Park!” the new album, is out now, with supporting tour dates in many cities.
“What do they know that we do not know? And most importantly, how could we have lived without them for so long?” Rolling Stone France
“Tankus the Henge have a reputation for whipping crowds into a frenzy, and penning choruses it’s impossible not to sing along to.” - METRO (top 10 acts to see at Glastonbury)
“That’s wonderful, ..I love that. It reminds me of a mixture of early Kinks, Squeeze and a bit of Blur mashed in. His voice is his own, …so great. I love it.” (Smiling Makes The Day Go Quicker) Dave Davies – The Kinks
“Like The Clash from New Orleans” – Nikolaj Torp Larsen – The Specials
“….a virtual carnival of sound that’s high on energy and deep on soul. With copious helpings of R&B, blues, funk, disco, Django, a dose of Dexy’s, a drop of Ray Davies and a pinch of Madness … – it’s an exciting mélange of sound.” – Simon Wells (The Guardian)
