ripple Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 FIRST time ever I've heard anyone mentioning Fingathing on these (or any) forums. I love them, always wondered as to why they're being slept on like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 They played quite a few years ago in Notts before DJ Shadow and were ace. They play in Manchester, mostly at The Roadhouse quite a lot as they're from round here. As to their albums, although their 2nd album (Superhero Music) has its moments (like The Chase, Don't Turn Around the the title track) and as an overall concept it's brilliant, IMO The Main Event (1st album) is most worth picking up in terms of out and out cool turntablism meets funky double bass-ness. It's probably the simplest of the three albums but also the most hip-hop orientated and head-nod worthy in terms of individual tracks working in a set or whatever.

x2k Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Fingathing are fucking sic, the first track I ever heard was Head to Head and from then on I was hooked. Went to seen them about a year or 2 back and don't think I've had a better night out since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kper Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 yeah fingathing are one of the nicest bands out there when it comes to the whole live turntables thing... i've got the last 2 LPs (never could find the first one) and they're real ince.. the last one has got some proper bugget out stuff on it... They're now on ninja tune but used to be on grand central, so basically as someone else said you can find their stuff anywhere, amazon, hmv, your local shop etc... just ask for it. I've been playing tracks from their albums for the last year so peep the turntable radio archive and you shall find. There's a track on superhero music with peter parker doing some noice drumming. oh and yeah he entered dmc for a while but then just went with fingathing, which really is much better, i wanna see them and c-mon and kypski togethre, if i had the cash i'd put it on, cos that would be dopeeeee night.

dextrous Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'm not massively into their albums but they are very very good live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la ressistance Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 i've seen them three times live and i was gonna be able to watch them monday but we had tickets for the ordinary boys.(fingathing were playing the same venue but upstairs and it was only two quid to get in). The red nebula album ain't that good imo,go 'for the main' event it's quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kper Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 red nebula has grown a lot on me. but yeah i can see why some people prefer main event to it or superhero music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they got a best of out now aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broma Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 They played at my uni ball in 2003, heavy stuff. Peter Parker played a dope little dj set too. Funny to here some Quasimoto with trevor nelson or some shit in the next tent. Loved the visuals too. I thought wave twisters looked like a rip! Dunno which came first though...
