thanks to everyone that came out to the UK shows last month - we had a blast!
Fingathing's very own Chris Drury has created a new piece of artwork, and it is available exclusively through the Fingathing website.
A limited-edition collectable A2 art print. Only 100 in existence, and they are signed by Drury and numbered as well, so each one is unique and very rare.

With turntables, an upright bass and bold live animations of crazy mutants in tow, Fingathing are a mass fusion of technical effects and live instruments creating an explosion of far-flung funk and crunching avant hip-hop. The grooves grip tighter than a black hole, the drums smack the cheeks like an asteroid rain-storm, and the bass rumbles and hums like an imploding star.
Fingathing definitely fall into the 'more creative' category.... their third album is as conceptual as Posh Spice is thin. The LP is out there and it makes for a brilliant show" TIMEOUT, 2004.
"If it's an adventure you are after, you've come to the right place. If on the other hand, this sounds silly to you, buy the album for the music. Either way, you'll not be disappointed" M8 MAGAZINE
"Fingathing approach greatness when they rein in sonic clutter. The Prog-rock breaks and bleepy groove of Walk In Space or the moody cartoon electro of ReAnimo have a neat lost in space funk about them, while the creaking cells of Lady Nebula demonstrate a mastery of cinematic melancholy" Q MAGAZINE
'Time Capsule - The First Five Years of Fingathing' is available on CD via the Fingathing shop
