Where Is Hank?"

XL Capris first album was Where Is Hank? (March 1981, produced by ToddHunter). Tim Gooding (guitar, keyboard, vocal) wrote ten of the fourteen tracks including two with Johanna Pigott (bass, vocal, keyboard, guitar). 'Hank' in the title was a German shepherd owned by Kimble Rendall(guitar, vocal): "Hank went to live on a farm at Nambucca Heads". 'Tosca' was the name of their landlady's cat and it was chased up a tree by Hank[ thus the album title Where Is Hank? is a pun on a 1980s TV ad for a chocolate bar: 'Where's George?' The response is ... 'gone for a Tosca!'.

This LP should of broke them from small cult appeal to large cult appeal. But ready to capitalize on any human misery, the gutter press of rock music quickly jumped onto thirteen tracks of human misery, recorded in the most expensive studio in the land and made to sound like it came from your garage.
