   About Fingsten
About Fingsten: He's a backyard lumberjack, he's a nuts and bolts guy, he's everything you ever wanted to know about a rock star and were afraid to ask. OK, he's not really a rock star.

He is, however, a singing poet who hides behind a guitar and corduroy. He 's a big fan of multiple-syllable words. He is an epic contributor to worldwide information overload, and now he's coming for you with hiku and pentameters of miscellaneous bics.

He'll rock the mic with a broomstick, he'll laugh at all your jokes, he's a man's man and a love of the ladies. His songs are about you. Or they're not. Or they are about Nellie. Or they're not.

He's a PK from a town that worships a fiberglass cow. He's a curly-blonde linebacker that will knock your teeth out. He'd like to dance with you and buy you a flower. He's simply complicated.

He's Mike, he's dropped the P, he's Fingsten. -Matthew Johnson, Sonic Mustard Records

About Fingsten's Music: Working with producer Matthew Johnson, Fingsten expanded his aural palate by adding strings, exotic percussion, and even a celeste to his churning core guitar sound.

In his EP release, One for the Poets (Feb 23), his lyrics serve as another instrument, and remind listeners of a bygone era when beat poets grew love, pain and all the in between into moments of transformation for a generation seeking something new.

The ambitious 13-song full album NOP showcases the full range of Fingsten's song-writing talent: from pop to rock ballads, peppered with soul and R&B. This is a release that will certainly please a wide variety of music lovers, and that includes you!

Most recently Fingsten has released "Fingsten, Live at Uncommon Ground". This intimate look into the true nature of Fingstens music contains six of his latest and greatest songs. From upbeat start with "One Time" to emotional finish with "My Lullaby, My Decline" this disk packs a pleasing punch to every pallet.

Thanks man!!! You were awesome as well. We're gonna bring you in for a show sometime, if you want to play that is. I was actually thinking about setting up a show at UIC in chicago on March 19th. It's a Wednesday. I know you live a ways away, but maybe you could take a train into the city or something. Anyways, let me know what you think, and get back to us.

alright kiddo here's the dealio. i've been asking around at school and i think it's safe to say that i can sell 10 tickets. i know this is a wee bit less than the 1 trillion that i promised you...but like 3 or 4 people couldn't make it. you understand. also, the info for the venue is totally crap on your myspace.
Peter





Feb 14 2008 9:33 AM

hey mike! thanks for being on our show and we'll have to do it again sometime. i got the recordings from the show for you and i'll put them on paul's computer or i can send them to you.
thanks, pete

I'll have you know something...Keanu Reeves and Val Kilmer miss you, but not as much as I miss you, but a really close second. Since I've known you for about 23 years now, It's only hypothetically and grammatically correct that I miss you more than they do. I don't really talk to them anymore. Val went off to Top Gun school, and Keanu got stuck on a bus with a bomb on it, and I haven't heard back from him since. So that only means that I miss you more....I mean come on...does this look like a face that would be joking at a time like this?

Dearest Mike,

Thanks for the comment, it was very knowledgeable, and for some reason very hilarious. Quick question though....when is opposite day?

Wow Mike, your dad took a great pic of that tornado. I didn't realize until I saw that pic that the tornado was that close to my house; I was upstairs the whole time. if it were any closer, I so would've been dead...haha
