Circa October 2017, George Bryce and George Baker had been gigging together under the name "The Council of Georges". When asked to play a larger venue (The Pig and Whistle, Norwich) they required back-up to tear down the house. So, they recruited Tom McGhie on Guitar, Sam Watts on Bass and Joe Wilson on Drums. However, this was just the beginning, with practice, Bag of Cans has become one of the "Must-see" bands in Norwich. Their live performances being **raucous, sweaty and exuberant. **
Since that first gig, Bag of Cans has played all over Norwich (Open Norwich Banking Hall, Open Norwich Club Room, The Waterfront Studio, Karma Kafe, The Mash Tun, The Rumsey Wells, UEA Blue Bar, The Garden House, The Reindeer, Gringos Bar, Be at one.), London twice (The Islington, Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen) as well as Colchester (Three Wise Monkeys). In addition to the numerous gigs they've had since that first infamous one, they won the LiveWire Battle of the Bands in 2018.
The Band have released 1 single (Clean as a Whistle), 1 EP (Why won't anyone take us seriously?), A live album (This is the reason why) and a home recorded Christmas single (Sorry Mum, I was hungover this Christmas).
