'It’s Hard To Push Back The Fear': Jay Watson Steps Into The Light As GUM

Sticky Fingers Attacked And Robbed On Euro Tour

It's all about the backhands, near-brawls and break-ins

It's been an interesting start to Sticky Fingers' current tour of Europe, with the Sydney lads finding themselves on the end of a few sticky (mind the pun) situations.

During their show in Lille, France, the guys had their van broken into while they were on stage. Their tour manager Jimmy was hit the hardest, with his wallet, shoes, backpack, phone and passport all stolen. And bass player Paddy found himself on the verge of brawling with a bunch of French locals in a bad case of miscommunication involving a bike.

Oh and while on the subject of Paddy, he may have to calm down on all the tour "monkey business" - he copped a swift backhand from the band's French booker while the guys were out partying at the Walkabout Aussie bar. Phew! That's a fair bit of crazy shit to happen over a couple of days!
