Feeding Fingers, Atlanta, Georgia "Here lies a noble attempt at traditional gothic beauty... Curfman’s mournful cries echo in the distance, veiled in a gauze of reverb... standout track “Fireflies Make Us Sick” might as well have been written by Depeche Mode themselves... unusual versatility... Curfman proves he can wallow with the best of them or move you to the dance floor." Performer Magazine

Feeding Fingers, Atlanta, Georgia "This album firmly places Feeding Fingers in a multi-talented niche of their own... evokes, like none other, the authentic and classic sounds that smacks of post-punk greatness..." Fiend Magazine (Australia) |

Midwives / The Feeding Fingers / Mad Happy
ISP Studios
Atlanta, GA
November 4, 2006
Nestled into a tiny venue birthed just a few short months ago, The Feeding Fingers headlined a show in the chill of a November Saturday night, stirring up a haunting atmosphere that escalated with each passing hour.
Opening up the night was surprise guest artist Midwives, who electrified the evening with a witty array of sharply composed piano pieces. The lead piano player and drummer just happened to be in the area, blasting off a small five-song set of jazzed-up, intellectual instrumentals.
The mastermind behind the music of The Feeding Fingers, Justin Curfman quickly moved the audience, delivering the title track “Mouth Filled with Sand” with a wretchedly unique vocal technique carefully derived. Todd Caras blended in a mixture of pulsating bass lines, accompanying the refreshing percussion of Danny Hunt to help the trio produce a complete and sharply hypnotic effect.
The audience of twenty-somethings, friends and locals in the Little Five Points area, were treated to a dazzling set: a group of densely packed, instrumentally laden tunes, fully toned with varying echoes and delays, making the music that much more enriching and gratifying.
Curfman’s genius is not well known, yet his courage and gift for reaching deep inside the darkest wells of our hearts and minds will not be buried or easily forgotten. He is a true artist, as his award-winning work in stop=motion films attests, and it is apparent that this brand of music is laden with emotional resonance. When one is feeling the darkest depression, anger or remorse, just experiencing this kind of music — dark and grotesque, mysterious and haunted as it may be — can help assuage the pain.
A richly layered eight-song set created a huge buzz, and the small, yet charged group of listeners kept its ears open as Mad Happy strode in around 1 a.m. Their eclectic rhythms and soulful, intellectually-brewed lyrics kept the young morning churning. Mad Happy got in late, but their catchy tunes capped off a memorable and successful night for the baby venue, ISP Studios, to build upon.
