Sticky Fingers
Band Sydney Australia Formed 2008 Australian band
Sticky Fingers formed in 2008 in Sydney, Australia. Sticky Fingers has 15 chart appearances on 8 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2012–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Australia Street”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #15. The station that charted Sticky Fingers most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 15 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2016.
Sticky Fingers got going in Sydney in 2008, and their records have the sound of a long, hazy afternoon that turned into a longer night: loose grooves, sunburnt guitars and Dylan Frost's lazy, knowing croon out front, with Paddy Cornwall on bass, Seamus Coyle on lead guitar and Freddy Crabs on keys. Taras Hrubyj-Piper was gone by 2009, not long after the Helping Hand EP came out, and 2 more EPs followed before the albums arrived.
Caress Your Soul landed in 2013 and Land of Pleasure a year later, home to "Gold Snafu" and "Rum Rage". Westway (The Glitter and the Slums), in 2016, went straight in at number one on the Australian albums chart, a first for the band. Along the way they tipped their hats to DMA's with a cover of "Delete" and to Fleetwood Mac with "Rhiannon".
At the end of 2016 they announced an indefinite hiatus over internal issues, including multiple accusations that Frost had threatened and verbally abused other musicians. They were back in 2018, and kept going with Yours to Keep in 2019 and Lekkerboy in 2022. Frost stepped away in 2025, and Claude Bailey took over the vocals and rhythm guitar.
