These Aussie lads appeared to have had a solid indie pedigree, though by the sounds of this disk the Cuckoos could have likely crossed-over...but did they? Haven't been able to find any pertinent details on them through the usual search engines. Singer
Simon recalls Colin Hay, Julian Cope and even a tad of David Bowie all wrapped into one, but
Sticks and Stones is well short on mystique. Some genuinely strong tunes here nonetheless. I could envision the Cuckoos sharing a bill with Icehouse circa the
Flowers album, Noiseworks, or some other quasi "wave" combo of the era. I'll leave you with this little morsel - in it's entirety,
Sticks... is more consistent than any given INXS album. Then again that might not be saying much, eh? Enjoy.
