Groove of the Week - Chinese Fingertrap
This week's "Groove of the Week" is a unique quartet hailing from Milwaukee, WI. My first chance to see them was few months ago when the Cosmic Break tour rolled through Milwaukee. I was actually there to see Stealin' Strings but Chinese Fingertrap was the next best thing I heard that night. With influences such as Martin, Medeski, and Wood, the Flectones, and Phish this band has a wide variety of styles. The tracks below are from a February 23, 2007 show from Stones Throw in Eau Claire, WI.Download

The Chinese Fingertrap sounds pretty interesting. I recently attending The Verve Pipe show with Madison-based Polydream, it was a really good show. I was wondering whether the sound clips you posted are from The Stones Throw or if the group put them up. I'd be interested in knowing if The Stones Throw hosts other music from other shows that come through town. Thanks!
i recorded the show, i was friends with the bands and the sound tech. As the link shows, They are located on archive.org along with many other great shows. I highly recommend newer shows with their new phenomenal singer, Alyssa Voelker. So impressive
