The Cannanes

The Cannanes have been described as 'the world's most indie band' but despite never having a manager, agent or signing a recording deal they have toured the world, headlined concerts in London, New York and Tokyo, produced numerous recordings. The short documentary Short Poppy Syndrome, about the band, had its World Premiere at the Light Bulb Festival in the UK. In November 2008 Converse released a limited edition Cannanes (Chuck Taylor) Gym boot as part of the (Product) Red campaign. Previous recordings have been financed by established labels in the USA and the UK and their 11 LPs include African Man's Tomato, A Love Affair With Nature, Caveat Emptor, Witchetty Pole, Short Poppy Syndrome, The Cannanes, Arty Barbecue, Living The Dream, Communicating At An Unknown Rate, Trouble seemed So Far Away, and Howling at all Hours as well as a multitude of increasingly collectable (?) (Who wrote this? ED) CD/EP's and cassette 7'' & 12'' EP releases. Since the Cannanes' first release 'Bored Angry and Jealous' was named Single of the Year by NME in late 1986, the band has attracted an ever expanding international following. More recent recordings have included Stephen Hermann (aka Explosion Robinson); Stewart Anderson as well as the Small Batch Maxi-EP. Howling at all Hours and a re-mastered A Love Affair With Nature released by Australian label Chapter Music. The band are working on finalising 2 new albums and planning an Italian tour in 2026.
