Leadfinger
Through The Cracks

Compil. AU 2008 on Music Farmers label
Rock and Blues (Alternative Rock)

Credits Personnel Stewart Cunningham: Guitar, Vocals, Percussion, Bass Guitar on Fade Your Brilliance. Wayne Stokes: Electric Bass Guitar. Stephen O’Brien: Drums and Percussion. Guests Kaylene Milner: Trumpet. Karl Weber: Harmonica. Recording Recorded at Tongarra Studio and The Rendezvous Studio 2007. Engineered by Leadfinger & Steve McCarthy. Produced and mixed by Leadfinger. Whilst recording the Rich Kids album in 2007, Leadfinger put down some extra tracks and a few covers to flesh out the recording session. The band re-recorded some songs from Cunningham’s earlier bands….SEE YOU TONIGHT (originally by Brother Brick) got a grittier liver re-working and ROCK’N’ROLL SOUND (originally performed by Challenger-7) got a tempo lift and a more straight down the line delivery. Throw in a few choice covers – MELT by Dom Mariani band The Someloves, Slim Harpo’s swampy HIPSHAKE and you have the makings of very rockin little gem of a release. When the release of the resulting Rich Kids album was delayed an Ep of these left over recordings was quickly rushed out through local Wollongong based record label Musicfarmers (they later evolved into Impedance Records and would release the CD version of Leadfinger’s We Make the Music album in 2011). Through the Cracks is topped up by re-imagined versions of the best tracks from the debut Leadfinger release the floating life, notably a killer rock version of live favourite EDGE OF SUBURBIA and open G versions of A BEAUTIFUL SOUND and the quirky BICYCLE MAN with guest Kaylene Milner from The Nice Folk adding her signature trumpet blasts that really make this track. Through the Cracks was released on CD only in May 2008 and has now SOLD OUT. You can download the whole EP from the Leadfinger website or iTunes etc. Plans are afoot to do another pressing as we often get asked for this obscure release, it really did fall through the cracks and only the lucky few got copies. http://www.leadfinger.com.au/albums/through-the-cracks/ C & P Leadfinger.
