a Couple new dates ...

Allo everybody, what's happening? it's Paddy here, bass player/ unofficially best looking member oh dem Sticky Fingers. We've been keeping real busy since wrapping up on the 2QETUILAZ tour with it's odd 40 shows of late 2011/ early 2012. For those who couldn't figure out how to pronounce 2QETUILAZ, you say it like this: TOO-KE-TEEL-AZ ... Hollywood can't order tequila right when he's drunk. Bit of an in joke. Actually a really stupid name for a tour looking back.

We're feeling pretty hot in the studio at the moment. The band recently recorded a whopping fifteen demos. Heaps excited to show off our new material in the coming months.

This week we had to do the near impossible task of choosing our favourite six of these demos for our third & hopefully best EP, which we've decided to name CARESS YOUR SOUL ... pretty cool huh?

Next week we're heading back into the studio to re record the chosen toons extra snappy like, before mixing, mastering, & releasing them out into the wild ... CARESS YOUR SOUL is looking to be released late 2012.

Until then, we couldn't resist the urge to play a few shows ...

Sticky surf & fistful o Newtown

Ayup, back on deck, just thought we'd let you know we're heading back into the studio at the begining of May and running thru another 5 or so songs. This is heading toward our next EP, anbd we're looking to put out a single in June then the EP later in the year. We'll be keeping you posted on that one. In the meantime, we've just wrapped the tour as Beaks' letter below says. There have also been a couple of new Sticky appearances: firstly a clip made of our Newtown festival appearance last year. It's tops. SEE IT HERE more shortly ...

2 quetilaz - letter from Beaks

If only I could remember half of what happened, that'd be cool but from what I do remember it has been the best tour so far. I mean they always keep getting better, but this time round you could really tell. We had the most amount of shows, people and fun we've ever had in the space of a month and man it was wild.

The highlights of the tour for me were the Jetty Bar in Adelaide, Indi Bar in Perth, The Espy, Baha in Rye (the best taco and music venue), The Great Northern up in Byron and last but not least Sol Bar up on the Sunshine Coast was also sick. It was our last show but also one of the best.

Apart from all the hangovers and hotel damage bills it was actually a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone that came back, to everyone that came for the first time and cheers to all the people that put us with us and showed us around their towns. We'll see you real soon.

During small breaks on this tour we managed to do some recordings. We’ve got seven tracks down and are planning on recording another seven in the next couple of weeks. We're going to pick the best 5 or 6 to make our next EP. Its been going well and all the tracks so far have come up better than expected which we're all pretty stoked about that. It’s been a long time since we last recorded and we're all excited to be getting back into it.

We're In It !!! ( Bottom left-hand corner if you squint really hard )

People and venues of WA , VIC , QLD and NSW we love you all but a big thankyou especially to the sexy people at the Espy , Baha and Indi Bar for all your love so far.

Sydneysiders you are not forgotton though and are in for a treat this weekend with a performance tonight at the Go Here, Go There Festival at the Kings Cross Hotel and another one tomorrow at the not so secret, Secret Garden Festival. Amongst the touring we're are also hitting the studio next Tuesday to record some demos and then back on the road hitting up Queensland in April. Also in late April we're looking forward to some co-headlined shows at the Beach Rd. Hotel and Mona Vale Hotel with King Tide and Lime Cordiale respectively.

And once again a big thankyou to Kath McCabe for your write-up you in the Sydney Daily Telegraph. Pretty stoked with being compared to the likes of Matt Corby , Lanie Lane and our good mates the Underlights and Rufus. And a good review with our Happy Endings EP showcasing 'bizarre fusion of reggae , psychedelia and surf folk'. Cheers Kathy, you're great.

Don't be shy at our shows - come say hi , permanent marker in hand. We dare you !

and ... the rest ...

2012 has been a Sticky swirl so far with already two state border crossings and many more to come on the 2Qetuilaz Tour.

Radelaide turned the hospitality (and some neat looking party people), oon. On.

And thanks to the north of the bridge Crowie Hoey hotel last for welcoming us with open arms to your local as part of the SLAM movement - a very good cause in our opinion.

Our single Sydney show at the Jurassic Lounge (at the Australian Museum), last night went nuts as well. A stock of good people, yes I'm thinking of you, Anton, Marco and Nick and Stylish.

And all you Sydney siders if you get the telegraph you would have seen us being compared to the likes of Matt Corby , Lanie Lane and our good mates the Underlights and Rufus this week. And a good review with our Happy Endings EP showcasing 'bizarre fusion of reggae , psychedelia and surf folk'. Cheers Kathy, you're great.

So come say hi at our next gig and we'll happily sign any body part of your choosing.
