   About the sticks
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.

AVAILABLE NOW

Yoko Oh No! [floppy disc]

Yoko Oh No! is half of Gay Against You. His floppy disc for us is 2 minutes of electronic dysfunctionality, stopstart beats with distorted vocals and his trademark melodic edge. And bird noises. Comes in a wraparound sleeve designed by Steve (Chaos vs Cosmos). It's awesome. Limited edition of 50, each hand numbered.

£2 inc P&P - see our profile for full info!
