Sticky Fingers

After a couple of weeks swimming in the blissful depths of the folky acoustic singer-songwriter pools I felt it may be time to turn it up just a little.

Sticky fingers is an eclectic four piece out of Sydney that could be labeled with as many genres as you can put together in one sentence, indi pop, surf dub, with a hint of soul, funk and reggae would be a start.

These crazy mofo's made their mark at the Woodford Folk Festival over the 2012 new year with a performance that was apparently show stopping.  Independent and hard working these guys are a stable piece of furniture among the pub and back street live music scene's in Sydney.  They and have used all that practice to glue together a sound that is vaguely familiar yet totally original, add to that the mere fact their tunes are as catchy as a cold and you have a combination that works, somehow!

You get the feeling from their appearances they could break up and go their separate ways as quickly as they have come together,  they come across as a grunge band from the early 90's yet the underlying certainty here, while they are together we will see some special things come from their stable.

The track I am featuring has been around for a couple of months and every single time I hear it it grabs me instantly with it's romantic opening vocal before it perfectly morphs into a sweet reggae like rhythm that is unstoppable. 

Caress my Soul is the first release from this awesome new Australian band's debut album due in early 2013, if it is any indication of the rest of the record these guys might need a rather large box when returning from the ARIA's in 2013...
