Have you heard of the Google Glass? We´ve always liked the preppy look glasses gives.
Might not be the best looking glasses, but we´re amazed if you can do all this with them.
Hello future!
If you think Chinos are just another pair of pants. Think again.
These iconic´s present a history and transformation from military uniform
to a timeless wardrobe staple. As our brand new style chinos "Heywood"
soon will hit Australia and New Zealand. It´s about time to run you down
Chino-lane.
Enjoy!
This track is just pure magic isn't it? And everytime it's on I can
see the mixture of beautiful countrysides and toxic innercity
wastelands passing by as our shakey old Tarago consumes one white line
after another. I remember the first time we heard it actually. The
band had just played a killer set in Wollongong and these dudes
invtied us for a spliff around the back during load out. Ended up
blazed like nothing else and driving at about 10 kilometres per hour
up the hilly highway back to Sydney. This song was cranking on the
radio and nobody said a word the entire 7:27 duration. .. and neither
does Neil until 3:23! It was dark going up that hilly highway and
particuarly mystical with this song playing. The tarago never ceased
to feel like riding a spaceship since then.
It's an instantly striking AC/DC number just upon hearing the outfit
play something so down tempo. Yet still has that distinct sound
doesn't it. And yep all Stickies are more fans of Bon Scott than AC/DC
itself. Truely bittersweet complete with his tragic lyrics. Especially
on knowing this was one of his last recordings before death. It's an
obvious one to chuck in the five for us especially consdiering its
name ... what can I say, we spend a fuckload of time on the road.
This band has a huge influence on Sticky Fingers. If only we had the
same skill on our instruments as they do! Haha, definately something
we're still working on. it was hard to choose just one song of their's
for this list, but yeah this one is a fucking beautiful little number.
We're all also amazed this was a B-side for the album Blood Sugar Sex
Magic. Goes to show singles aren't everything hey.
Such a weird song. Never heard crappy synth orchestral and horn
sections work so well. And Jimmy Page's slide guitar playing sound
slike the tears of an acid induced sunflower crying over loss of
daylight. This one inspires us to always simply try thing out when we
jam. We're a fan of keeping it simple but the more interesting and
striking the indivual sounds the better .. like whoa, what the fuck is
that!
We find it hard to get over the fact that this song is offically the
state anthem of Oklahoma. How amazing is that? Don't want to come off
like a psuedo-intectually culture-fart wanker but lets face it, the
place is pretty damn "hillbilly" ... and just imaging all the school
kids singing along to this during school assembly puts a big grin
across my face. Aisde from that, I've never heard so simply beautiful
and heartbreaking lyrics ever. Brings a tear to my eye and makes me
want to give all my loved ones a big hug. it's cheesy but true ...
listen to the lyrics and tell me they don;t have the same effect in
you! Xoxoxoxoxox
Shame on you if you haven't caught the band already, if not, now´s the time.

Oh and they´re touring all of April aswell.
We´re always excited to head over to Europe and Gothenburg to check out what the Graah family have in store for us next. Gothenburg is Swedens second largest city and luckily not as cold as we thought it would be. It was -17 the week before. Although the snow was falling, painting the streets white, like in a movie scene.
We had two quick days where we got to meet up with the Graah boys for the range review and the season conference.
Dined some proper swedish food, known as "husmanskost".
They took us to this amazing abandoned factory where the upcoming seasons campaign was shot.
It used to be a textile factory that had to shut down in the 70´s. Quite a ghostlike feeling being there
as the machines are left exactly the way they were when the factory closed down.
Everything is untouched as the way it was when the workers shut down the machines
and basically just walked away. Spooky!
Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Dr Denim has established itself as one of the best go-to jeans in the Australian market.
