Wax Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 FINGATHINGTime Capsule TourOriginally members of Rae & Christians live crew, DJ Peter Parker and double-bassist Sneakys almost telepathic free-styling led to the creation of Fingathing. This duos incredible live shows consisting of live double-bass and scratched, cut-up beats with added visuals have been further supported by three full-length studio albums, including last years And The Big Red Nebula Band. This time round, the guys are promoting their new compilation album, Time Capsule.Peter Parker was signed up to Grand Central Records after competing in a UK DMC Final, judged by head honcho, Mark Rae. As those who have witnessed him will bear testament, his live shows are both awesome and awe-inspiring. His pure technical displays using classic 70s break beats and underground hip-hop have hypnotised many crowds and gained him many fans. Parker is also a member of the Cutting Crew turntablist collective, alongside Statik and ex-DMC World Champion, DJ Noize.Sneaky is a classically-trained double bassist, having achieved Grade 8 with distinction. Resident at Manchesters seminal hip-hop night, Eardrum, led to a gig in Malaysia which led to guest and session work for the likes of Dillinga, Lemon D (Metalheadz) and Mr Scruff (Sneaky worked on Scruff releases, Keep It Unreal and Trouser Jazz). When not in his hip-hop guise, Sneaky can occasionally be spotted in the line-up at midweek jazz sessions in Manchester or Liverpool alongside members of Aim and Cinematic Orchestra.Support from Kid Bell & Giles WalkerHosted by MayhemAdvance tickets priced 8 available from One-Up, Fopp or online at www.seetickets.comDoors open 11pmFRIDAY 16TH SEPTEMBERKEF :: BELMONT STREET :: ABERDEENwww.fingathing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Next month we have former X-Ecutioner, DJ Rob Swift, up previewing his new "War Games" DVD. All those at the Q-Bert night won't want to miss this one. In November, negotiations are still ongoing to bring up the mighty Jazzy Jeff. There will also be a competition, with the winner getting to throw JJ out of the building Fresh Prince-style! As with Fingathing, discounts on tickets for Rob Swift and Jazzy Jeff (tbc) will be available to Wax mailing list members. Join up by sending an email to waxhiphop@gmail.com.
