Sounds Like: " My mind was blown away. Weiner stunned me with pipes of steel."

" Rubber room boogie-woogie act that smacks of Tav Falco aping Beefheart's first Magic Band. That shit's cool."
- Connect Savannah
" Ladyfingers' music, which is some wondrous medley of rockabilly and grimy punk, is as addictive as the cigarettes it makes you crave."
- the Radio Files, Montreal
" Ladyfingers' songs are funny, deep, hilarious and mad all at the same time."
- Indiemusic.com, NXNE
" Weiner manages to variously channel Elvis, Screaming Jay Hawkins, and Dion with incredible ease and fluidity. Somehow, through all this polyvalence he still manages to have his own voice."
- the Deli
"Arrest that man, he just about stole the whole night."
- Gig Scene with Graham Chalmers (Harrogate)
