Concrete Playground

 Self-proclaimed ‘acid ninjas of the inner-west’, Sticky Fingers, are launching their EP. (Remember the cover The Rolling Stones did for their album of the same name? The zipper? Awesome. Well these guys have nothing to with that except that they’re pretty awesome as well).

You might call their music a kind of blues-inspired psychedelic reggae, but then you might not. Just when you think you’ve got them pegged, they surprise you. And they do it so nonchalantly you’ll forget you were ever trying to peg them at all. Just relax. There’s an easy difference between songs and with lyrics like ‘the cheese might be cut but the moon is whole’, their sense of humour only makes them smoother.

Sticky Fingers are fun, not in a giggly, lollipop way, more in an it’s almost morning, no-one’s leaving and the VB’s still cold kind of way. These guys are better than any pithy metaphor I can come up with. Share them around.
