The duo first performed together as part of the backing band for Rae & Christian before teaming up. Over the course of the years, they have released several full length albums ; 'The Main Event' (2000), 'Superhero Music' (2002) and 'Fingathing and the Big Red Nebula Band' (2004), with a best of compilation following the year after. Since then, the band have parted company with the label responsible for the above output, Grand Central, leaving them currently unsigned.
They have, however, managed to continue to churn out material via not only via their myspace site but also with the occasional mix release; the 'Life after Death', 'Biscuit' and 'Bloody Axe' mixes, along with the 2006 EP 'Apocalypso', have all been self-funded.
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.

The Turntables! The Bass! The Illustrations!
Nice to see this is official posting - and thanks so much: ongoing housemove reminded me that this is still waiting in one of my 'unscanned' crates. Haze is genuinely a personal desert island disc, but have to admit it'd been a while since I'd listened to anything else and had forgotten just how good the whole album is.
Don't know where to begin - much of dance (which seems an odd descriptor here) hasn't aged too well, often because it's a product of a specific techonology. Not only is this one of the select few to stand the test of time, the quality & depth of production (on turntables & bass esp.) seems even more remarkable now: seems to have an extra dimension, missing not only in contemporaries but so much since - this could be released next week and it would still be avant garde... and timeless
The only complaint I have is that it's too damned good ;-P This was supposed to be something pleasant to listen to whilst unpacking - instead it's derailed my productivity, having brought me to standstill: lost between wonderment and happy memories / associations
Good to find Fingathing still a going concern, & will be working through the rest of the discography and as & when normality resumes, hope there's an opportunity to catch a live performance. In the meantime, thank so much for such great music
