It's all about happy endings. And that's what you get when you shake together the offspring of a brothel owner and an inner city ex-rock player, add couple of parts Kiwi and a fraction Brazilian. Happy endings and the garage/pop, psych/soul mash of reggae known as the Sticky Fingers sound.

The band began when drummer Beaks and bass player Paddy, met busker Dylan, one night outside the Coopers Arms hotel in Newtown. Dylan, fresh from N.Z. and not yet 18, was on the streets with his guitar busking for coin outside the pub. "We met him," Paddy says, "when the Coopers Arms bouncer started hassling us to give the dude money".

Here as part of their national tour, the Sydney based rude boys of the inner west know how to work a room, singing about feeling low and getting high.

With the band's live show on the up and up and already highly rated by anyone that crosses their path, Sticky Fingers are delivering a refreshing vibe to the Australian music scene, and this is a show not to miss.
