"His live performances aren’t just concerts—they’re spectacles, experiences. ...Add a bit of hip gyration, and the King might just live again." - Philadelphia Weekly

" My mind was blown away. Weiner stunned me with pipes of steel." - Two Way Monologues

"Philly's high theatrical prince." - Philadelphia City Paper

" 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)

"A true independent artist that radiates personality." - Blahblahblahscience

"I have trouble peeing and standing up somedays, but this dude has a gift!" - Rocker Tycoon (Jersey City)

   關於 LADYFINGERS
LADYFINGERS is the alter ego of eccentric New Jersey-born artist, Adam Weiner. His music is a spastic brew of lo-fi rock, rockabilly, punk, and cabaret stylings. Weiner developed the Ladyfingers aesthetic of wiggy theatrics and self-depracation while living and performing in New York City for 8 years. Drawing from such artists as Tom Waits, the Cramps, Ween, Hasil Adkins, and Cab Calloway, Weiner’s live shows are a rush of nervous energy and dark humor. His “rubber room boogie-woogie” (Connect Savannah), finds him yelping and crooning his heart out over a flood of gnarly guitar, slinky whorehouse piano, and his patented hard maple stompbox. With his hair piled high, and his eyes popping, Ladyfingers morphs from a yelping Nu-Elvis, to a menacing carnival charlatan, to a smarmy cabaret crooner…all within a few tender moments.

In 2006, Weiner released the first official Ladyfingers album, “MY PROM”, featuring the bracing, hiccupy single “Cure for the Common Cold” (featured in the MTV UK series Dirty Sanchez). In 2008, Weiner released a full-length collection of demos and bedroom tapes called “MY HANDBOOK”. The record, which was recorded in various motel rooms and warehouses across America, features the psycho-midget porn-abilly of “Lite FM” and the sad-sack lo-fi classic “Genius Friends”. Both records have received significant indie and college airplay all over the U.S. and Canada. Throughout 2008, Weiner toured the U.S., alone in his Korean car, including an LA Weekly endorsed residency at the Redwood Bar in Los Angeles. Besides numerous shows in North America, Weiner has consistently toured the U.K., France, Germany, as well as SXSW, NXNE, and CMJ.

In May 2009, Ladyfingers’ new record OPEN YOUR ROBE will be released as a vinyl record and mp3 suggested-donation download. This record, which was recorded in a tiny all-analog studio in Gainesville, Florida, finds Weiner exploring love, sex, and romance through a series of pierced and piercing compositions. It ranges from the gorgeous falsetto doo-wop of “Wonderful Boy”, to the raging kept-man anthem “What Size Shoe”, the L. Cohen-esque “Adriana Visit Me”, and finally to a cathartic cover of Arthur Alexander’s “Soldier of Love”. Weiner will be touring throughout most of the U.S. promoting this new record, which can be ordered/downloaded at www.ladyfingers.org.

Ladyfingers is an independent artist. He has no management, label affiliation, booking agent, or personal stylist. He currently performs all these duties for himself. Are you impressed?

----------------------------------------------

LA Weekly : "I've got to lose some weight before the wedding, dude/I've got to practice my handshake . . . All my friends are geniuses, and they all respect me," Adam Weiner, a.k.a. the one-man band Ladyfingers, brags/confesses on his new self-released CD, My Handbook. The New Yorker has "no management, label affiliation, booking agent or personal stylist," and, as he makes clear on the defiant folk-funk rant "Scoliosis in Secaucus" ("Don't entertain me/I can entertain myself"), he is a self-contained, self-aware and self-propelled song factory, obviating the need for rock critics. He's a little bit like the early, pre-cute Jonathan Richman, with such sarcastic lyrics as "I'm happy listening to lite FM" and "There's a World War II memorial underneath your dress . . . and I ain't impressed," but Mr. Ladyfingers sluices his raw ballads and electric-guitar-backed shuffles with a mournful beauty that goes beyond simple jokiness. He'll be here all week (nightly, through December 5), but please don't try the veal. It's been through enough already. (Falling James) --- LA Weekly

It's all right... I recently found some pretty cool sheet music from the civil war era, there is one confederate song that I think is great, "The southron's Chaunt of Defiance" it makes me giggle.
So when are you coming back through?

Hey! Happy Christmas! I am in Houston myself, gonna be in Austin?

I hope that you can come back through an area I am at sometime in the future, otherwise, I hope to see you in the future, you are terribly talented. I mean...fantastically talented.

In fact my mum is here in Houston as well, and she said that she loved you, so you have good music that everybody can like.

Happy Holiday's, and a Prosperous Future.
