Now available on CD. Of all times, now is not the time to be musically submissive. That is why now is the time for Providence's SIX FINGER SATELLITE to return and devour all weak imitators. Six Finger Satellite have navigated the murky industry waters with a healthy embrace of adventure since the beginning of the 1990s. Theirs is music grounded deep in bedrock but looking to the spheres, lifting spirits and discovering uncharted territories along the way. Prefiguring many figures in today's electro-post-punkhodge-podge scene. 'A Good Year For Hardness' is a no bullshit freak rock journey into the past, present, and future. It is timeless, elusive and in your everyday boring face.
June 30 street date. Sub Pop is thrilled to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Six Finger Satellite's debut album, "The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird", with a brand new, fully remastered reissue. Formed in 1990 in Providence, Rhode Island, Six Finger Satellite quickly signed to Sub Pop for the "Weapon" EP and quickly jumped into making their debut full-length with Bob Weston. Released in 1993, "The Pigeon Is The Most Popular Bird" was the first release to truly capture the adventurous, biting spirit and sound of Six Finger Satellite. The album is a landmark of noisy, distressing post-punk, drawing influence from Gang Of Four, The Birthday Party, and Wire while adding a healthy dose of the band's own, unique sonic antagonism. Amongst the brittle rock tracks, "The Pigeon Is The Most Popular Bird" has dashes of ahead-of-their-time keyboard and studio experiments that became more prominent on the band's later albums, presaging LCD Soundsystem, DFA Records, and much of the early-2000s post-punk revival.
