Artist description
Woodstock '99 was rocked to the core by Sticky Pistil. With the funkiest bass sound ever heard, the boys had everyone on their feet and dancing. Sticky Pistil are hotter than the Chili Peppers and will DESTROY you if you are lucky enough to see them live...Doug Cornell, AMP3reviews |

Music Style
Descriptions such as "Terrors of the American Funk Scene" and "the funkiest sh*t since white castle bathrooms" definately hint at the fact that this band is FUNKY, but they are much more than that as they take urban, R&B, rap, hip hop, trip hop, funk and psychedelic rock and roll and blend it all together perfectly to create what has been dubbed "The Funkinmental Experience." Sticky Pistil is very much worth checking out and songs from their excellent debut release "Hi-Fi Superfly" have been made available for for free mp3 download! |

Press Reviews
"Hi-Fi Superfly" may be the funkiest album you buy this year.....Brad Hockmeyer, Program DirectorKTAO 101.9 FM ............................................................. AMP3 News "Indie CD of the Week"Sticky Pistil's "hi-fi superfly"Excerpts from a review by Doug CornellTwenty years ago, Sticky Pistil would have been Yes. Ten years ago, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Today, Sticky Pistil stand alone. Relying on a funky bass groove oriented sound, Sticky Pistil inject samples, clever guitar hooks, and vocals that utilize influences from just about any funk band you've ever heard, from Prince to P-Funk. These guys "Funk with your body and Funk with your mind." ........................................................... MP3 Critic ReviewSticky Pistil's "Hi Fi Superfly"Excerpts from a review by Kevin Kreiner, mp3critic.com"Hi Fi Superfly" is certainly one of the most ambitious records I've heard in a long time. Its funk mixed with a hefty dose of sampling and DJ work, a little rock guitar, and, most importantly, a set of messages to get behind. They call it funkinmental, and that's as good a word for it as any I could make up. This one will funk with your body and funk with your mind, it was designed to. ........................................................... Sticky Pistil delivers a crop of tunes that has music classifiers and catagorizers scratching their heads. The music has alot in common with the new layered funk and trip hop (a psychedelic offshoot of hip hop). Sticky Pistil's sound is like The Lo-Fidelity Allstars with Pigeonhead on a cyber date with Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. Their new release, "Hi-Fi superfly", has as much in common with urban R&B and rap as it does with the psychedeleic funk of the early 70's.....The Taos News ............................................................ Sticky Pistil's debut CD "hi-fi superfly" has recently been releasedand it looks like the band might have a hit record on their hands.The bands ability to integrate a kind of nostalgic "get down funky"psychedelic sound with cutting edge hip hop lyrics and beats andend up with a great rock and roll record will definately get "hi-fi superfly" a place on the charts. Critics and fans alike have expressed their opinions of the bands music with FANatic enthusiasm and comparisons to Beck, the Chili Peppers and P-Funk should be enough to make you want to dance down to your local CD store and check em out. But save the gas and visit their website instead. This band definately has internet savvy.........Off The Ground |
