DAE KIM - Sticky Fingers

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the words 'sticky fingers' is always barbecue spare ribs, and getting hands on and messy indulging in fun food. Dae Kim's new single isn't about food of course, but parallels can be drawn. It's messy and fun in that Sonic Youth Goo sense. It's also spunked up, propulsive and rousingly infectious as guitar driven indie-rock groove that lifts its volume a notch higher at every turn, and seriously hits the spot.

They play Whelans with A Lazarus Soul and Ruby Tailights on 14th April for A Lazarus Soul's album launch gig, a gig I shouldn't mention here for obvious reasons, but which will surely be one of the most memorable gigs in Dublin this year for those who attend. As for Sticky Fingers, the single is released on May 18th. It can also be streamed from their myspace page. Get sticky. Have fun.
