About Me

Recent Live review(Go Team , Electrowerkz):"Armed with inexpensive instruments, including boot sale trumpets and PE teacher whistles, The Sticks scratch and screech at their instruments like a cat trying to grab a ball of yarn in a tumble dryer.But amidst the bells and whistles, all eyes rest on a single weather-beaten drumkit. Both members share cutlery duties on stage, whipping up the frenzied pace of the set with astoundingingly violent, original and almost melodic rhythms.The Sticks are a weird, wonderful creature that hops maniacally between the alien dimensions of classic honky tonk and Husker Du garage rockiness. And their drumming is so good, they're almost a circus act. Fabulous stuff."SELLING FAST!STICKS FIRST RECORD OUT NOW ON UPSET THE RHYTHM! the tracks:01. Exciting 02. On The Sea 03. On Tour 04.
