THAT FUCKING TANK

Built with Indexhibit
Below is a woefully incomplete gigography of That Fucking Tank. Sadly myspace deleted the list of our old gigs which would have made it easier to fill in the gaps between mid-2005 to mid-2010, the first few years of which we were playing about twice a week on average. We'll do our best to fill in what we can but if you have any recollection of putting us on or seeing us play on a date not listed here then please get in touch at landsandbody@yahoo.com.

--------- Original gig-getting blurb from Feb 2004 --------
That Fucking Tank is a complicated rock two piece from Leeds with members of Kill Yourself doing it. If you like Hella, Flying Luttenbachers, Ruins, Lightning Bolt, Pink and Brown and funk you will be astounded by its rocking naiveity. Being made of a mere two amps and minimal drum kit That Fucking Tank can fit in spaces that a normal band would normally not fit. That Fucking Tank also requires no power other than a single plug socket as there are no vocals to have to PA.
We are mega-interested in exploiting these attributes and touring around the uk on weekends playing, not in your normal overpriced and beer hungry music venue or pub room, but in the confines of your very own home. You could invite a few friends round and as long as you have enough room to cram everyone in That Fucking Tank can guarantee a good time. Pay That Fucking Tank in donations and cheap booze to keep it going but warn your neighbours as That Fucking Tank is also Fucking loud. any takers/ party planners should email obscenebabyauction@yahoo.com to discuss. Thanks.
