	Fingathing "Superhero Music"
		Fingathing’s twin pilots combine mastery of both classical and contemporary instruments to great effect and even greater sound.
		The Fingathing that we know today sprung from the sweaty loins of Rae and Christian’s live crew, where their free-styling apprenticeship was served during the summer of 1999 with crowd-pleasing vigour.
		Fingathing’s second longplayer ‘Superhero Music’ is one giant mish-mash of wigged-out scratching and obscure sample nirvana, mixed up with plenty of double bass action, a smattering of cunning humour and a bagful of fat beats.

		Partners Peter Parker and a man called Sneaky are Manchester's Fingathing, a musical duo crafting surprising sounds out of two turntables and one double bass.
		Sneaky is an accomplished bassist, melding classical training with a love of jazz and hip hop while Parker was discovered by Mark Rae (of U.K. production duo Rae & Christian) when he burst from nowhere to take second prize at a 1997 DMC Mixing Championship which Rae happened to be judging.
		Sneaky's enormous bass grooves are the anchor while Parker's turntables bring in everything from drum beats and flute loops to orchestral flourishes, Catskills comedians, and waves of lightning-wristed scratch blasts.

		Fingathing virgins grin broadly at one another, breathless and a little bemused.
		Which is why the boys have taken it upon themselves to pick their favourites and tracklist the lot, producing their own “time capsule” of standout moments so far.
		Fingathing’s set re-introduces music to this beautiful space with more acts to be confirmed for other one-off gigs and live soundtracks.

		Fingathing and the Big Red Nebula Band is the follow up to last years Superhero Music.
		This is the funkiest, sweetest collection of original beats you’ll have heard all year, and is right up there with the brilliant Blockhead album which was released a month or two ago.
		It’s as much Blakes 7 as it is 2001, and a glance at the album artwork by regular Fingathing pencil pusher Chris Drury will tell you as much (see the Fingathing website for more of his work).

		On Saturday 23rd November, Fingathing will be playing at Durham Train Station while on Saturday 30th November in Newcastle's Central Station, Dexter of The Avalanches goes to work on the decks as part of a new project led by Generator, popular music development agency for the North.
		In this one-off extraordinary event, Dexter and Fingathing will do what they do best and confound all with their musical dexterity and light-fingered skill as part of a commission by Generator to challenge people's perceptions about contemporary music.
		Dexter and Fingathing will provide an exclusive soundtrack to all the journeys which run through Central Station on these dates ensuring that passengers will have a trip to remember.

	Fingathing : The Main Event - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Truly, the Fingathing duo is a pair of extremely talented turntablists working in a similar vein as Kid Koala or Rob Swift.
		From time to time the use of samples overshadows Fingathing's incredible skill, but listeners will undoubtedly recognize these two musicians as skilled purveyors of the genre.
		It is likely that too much care takes the happy sting out of a couple tracks on this disc but that is definitely the exception and hardly the standard.

		Fingathing must have a stockpile of crazy dialogue samples in their studio.
		Check out the monster evacuation alerts, the hecklers from the Muppet Show on the end of "How To Smoke," and their homemade skits like the British wrestler M.C. on "Slappy’s Theme." He introduces a contender and judging by the soppy and playful music, he must look like a horribly deformed Grimace.
		Fingathing expresses it’s experimental side on "You Fly Me" with two complicated bass parts, more strings, and a minimal three-piece percussion kit.

		The pair (or should that be trio, as animation maniac Chris Drury will, as always, be along for the ride?) will the only true leftfield act amongst a wave of indie and rock bands that will be descending on the Texan town of Austin for the annual music event.
		Fingathing will be turning in their future funk at Austin's Zero Degrees on Tuesday 17 March, and we'll be with them every step of the way.
		Sadly, we're not bunking as stowaways in their flight cases, but have persuaded the band to send us a blow-by-blow account of their trip, complete with pictures of Sneaky hugging a cactus and Peter Parker scratching in the desert (or something similar).

	Fingathing :: Fingathing and the Big Red Nebula Band :: Grand Central/Ninja Tune
		This is the third time double bassist Sneaky and DJ Peter Parker morph into Fingathing, a double-headed, four-handed, carbon-based entity inhabiting the parallel universe that we call music.
		Supposedly, Fingathing are a great live act, but for their music to come alive on record, and with that much care already invested in graphics (courtesy of Chris Drury), the ultimate Fingathing experience might be something in the vein of DJ Q-Bert's animated movie "Wave Twisters."
		Neither minimalist nor epic, Fingathing's music is almost tangible, its components compressed into a cohesive structure, where certain details alternatingly take center stage, yet the track always returns to itself.

		Or, like Fingathing, you may just amble onstage in your shabby clothes and proceed to waffle to the crowd while the double bass gets tuned.
		This unusual combination of instruments affords Fingathing instant novelty status but there is a surprisingly amount of depth to their music.
		If Fingathing can expand their repertoire and not rely so heavily on backing tracks, they could truly be a phenomenon.

		Lifted for their Album “Main Event” it is Fingathing - Eau Naturel: created wholly from one double bass and one deck.
		And a beast of a track it is too, fully cut and thrust dancefloor destroying material (that also manages to sound a bit like the “Rhubarb and Custard” theme tune).

		However, when the opportunity to interview an English group called Fingathing dropped into my lap, I am sad to say I had no idea what I was dealing with.
		Fingathing consists of Peter Parker on turntables and Sneak on upright bass; when they get together, what ensues is a blend of hip-hop, cool jazz and soundtrack-sampled dance mayhem.
		He quit his design job to become the full-time badass Fingathing illustrator that he now is, but you'll meet him when the time is right.

	Peoples Republic Of Cork Forums - FINGATHING - Sunday 27th June - An Cruiscin Lan
		The dynamic duo of far-flung funk and crunching avant hip-hop have become known for thinking up concepts that equal their music in terms of sheer creativity and scope, and the new album is no exception.
		Capturing the energy of their live shows, they’ve harnessed their hunger and passion and created an album that does what albums are supposed to, take the listener somewhere far away over a sequence of tracks that fit together as a body, yet explore a huge variety of emotions and moods.
		The concept is Fingathing’s story, but on listening, you’ll rapidly find yourself day-dreaming your own, and it’ll have the best soundtrack you can imagine.

		These movers and shakers of the London music scene were all there to sup free booze courtesy of Grand Central Records and experience a small taste of FINGATHING.
		Belting out tracks from the new album the boys were clearly loving every minute of it - they were not givin' the bad-boy hip-hop attitude or the cooler than cool DJ slide - they were just playing the music they had created and enjoying the moment.

		The thing about Fingathing is it's all about the fingers.
		At its nadir, this album is no worse than average, unnecessarily padded with brief, pared down workouts that ably demonstrate their skills to pay the bills, but add little to what we already know.
		As labels like Grand Central, Twisted Nerve, Fat City et al continue to draw focus away from the capital, 'Superhero Music' is further evidence that it's not a London thing, it's a Fingathing.

		The rise of Peter Parker and Sneaky (aka Fingathing) has been slow-burning, propagated principally via a series of strategically placed live shows acclaimed for being forward-thinking, funky and not a little frenetic.
		Grand Central, Fingathing's third album, is almost certainly going to be a breakthrough project.
		Its conceptual premise is intriguing: following their faked deaths, they have been catapulted into space in metal coffins and have managed to record with a bunch of cosmic beings called The Big Red Nebula Band.

		About the only thing the two members of Fingathing had in common when they first met was that they were both from Manchester, England.
		For one of the duo's more live-sounding songs, "Scrap," Fingathing used a Manchester club's P.A. system as a recording element.
		But one of Fingathing's main recording sources is Canadian folk music.

		Manchester, England was dubbed âMadchesterâ during a wild era back in the day but a few innovative artists busting out of the industrial city are keeping the nickname intact.
		Their music is alluring and strange but anyone who has caught them live knows that they form a party around turntables, mics and a bass hooked in to a sound system through the wonders of modern technology.
		Full of breaks, groovy dance floor melodies and wiring wizardry, Fingathingâs music injects sorely needed soul in to the sleepy world of electronic music and it will make bodies boogie and souls rise up in to the futuristic galaxy where Fingathing rocks the lunar discotheque all night long.
