Fingathing

The instrumental hip-hop duo of DJ Peter Parker and bassist Sneaky started performing as Fingathing in 1999. Peter Parker was a bedroom DJ discovered by Mark Rae of trip-hoppers Rae & Christian at a DMC competition in 1997; Sneaky -- a classically trained bassist -- was working in a popular Manchester club when the pair met. Their first full-length, Main Event, was issued in 2000 on Rae's Grand Central label. Live dates, including a stint opening for DJ Shadow, followed the release of their sophomore effort, Superhero Music, in 2002. ~ Wade Kergan
