cathallangan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Dexter dextrous and the fingermiths @ The Notty House, Sat 2nd June Dexter Dextrous & The Fingersmiths are a six-piece funk & ska band from Leeds who have been causing musical havoc together for four years. We aim to bring a fierce and funkified intermingling of musical styles, served with a healthy dose of enigmatic theatricality, that’s so far left people up and down the country wiggling their hips and moving their lips in praise. Funk forms the core of our collective creative spirit and, as the band has progressed, it’s become our bread and butter; laced with a sonic weave of reggae & ska, old-school r’n’b and dance hall swing. Certainly, there’s a handle for anyone, and if our crowds over the years have shown us anything, it’s that they love to dance. We’ve played at numerous festivals, including Kendal Calling, Solfest and Landed, so the summer circuit is always a highlight of our year, and 2012 promises to be no different. We also put on an extremely successful tendate, thousand mile tour of the UK in July 2011, to promote our first, selftitled, EP and a second tour in February this year to promote our new EP, “All Talk”, which is included here for your listening pleasure.

Anyone with an ounce of rhythm in their bones will dance to every beat… So check them out now!” - Kendal Calling, July 2011 Links and Contacts: http://www.facebook.com/dexterdextrousandco http://www.myspace.com/dexterdextrousandco Twitter: @dexterdextrous Dexterdextrousandco@gmail.
