Feeding Fingers Finds Its Audience
The Atlanta post-punk trio known as Feeding
Fingers have finally found their audience. Four years and two albums
later, the band is finally finding recognition in its homeland.
Feeding Fingers, fronted by award-winning animator, Justin Curfman, has gained the attention of Thomas Dolby (of "She Blinded Me With Science" fame). Thomas Dolby, who has worked with artists such as David Bowie, Depeche Mode and Pink Floyd,
will be supervising the production of Feeding Fingers' third album, Detach Me From My Head (which is slated for release in Fall 2010).
Almost simultaneously, Feeding Fingers began co-headlining in Italy with
post-industrial legends, Nizter Ebb, and were being invited to play in
Germany at Wave-Gothik-Treffen, the world's largest goth festival. As college radio stations of the US caught wind of this,Feeding Fingers suddenly became a well-known secret.
Although the band refuses to adhere to any genre, Feeding Fingers are often times compared to the gothic-forefathers The Cure and Joy Division.
This comparison has helped them find an audience with goths and emo
rockers alike. Their sophomore album, Baby Teeth, reached 4th place at
Gothic Paradise and 16th place on the Global Goth Chart. The album
even managed to reach the Portuguese Top 100 Alternative Chart, along
with being recognized as one of Musicfolio's most notable albums of 2009.
Feeding Fingers is currently slated for two European tours
in 2010. Before their journey across the pond, however, the band is
scheduled to play a show in their hometown in Atlanta and 2 subsequent shows in New York in celebration of their first music video's release, which is being directed by award-winning digital artist, Steven Lapcevic of Anomalyville.
The show in Atlanta will be at the Drunken Unicorn on February 6 (with We Are The Becoming and Entertainment). Their first show in New York will be at Parkside NYC on Friday, February 12, and their second NY show, at Goodbye Blue Monday, on Saturday, February 13.
