“A Brotherhood of Chunky Funky Tom Foolery with a delicious Marshmallow Center’”
--HIS ROYAL HIGHESS Wigness I

Sticky Wig was formed in early 2007 with the two-fold desire to reconnect with each individual member’s most pure NOLA roots and to add some fresh original funky sideways tunage to the Post K New Orleans scene.

Bassist, Singer and Songwriter Dale Dolese returned home to New Orleans, after 10 years in Colorado, excited to hit the NOLA scene again. An internet ad led Guitarist Stan Gelpi and his lifelong friend, Keyboardist Glenn Grass to Dolese and the Sticky wheels began turning and churning. Glenn heard about a madman who had moved from New Orleans to Mississippi, this man, Drummer Beau Blalock, was yearning to break back into New Orleans scene again. One phone call and Beau was on the road heading to Glenn's temporary Mid-City home for the first explosion of Stickyness. In early 2008 Saxophonist and electronic toy manipulator Travis Blotsky joined the boys for a Wednesday night jam on Tulane Avenue and the Sticky icing had arrived.

This newfound brotherhood immediately seized upon the New Orleans groove and added heaping doses of funk and rock. Playing publicly for less than a year, StickyWig has made the Times Picayune's "Hot Picks" twice already by bringing smiles to audiences all over the Gulf South with their super-tight rhythm section, synchopated guitar, wailin' sax and screamin' organ.

PLAYIN’ Funk Infused Rock-n-Roll with a healthy dose of debauchery and depravation. This intensely tight band doesn’t take itself too seriously but rest assured their infectious grooves will have even the most diehard wallflower shaking that JUNK IN THE TRUNK on the dancefloor. Sticky Wig is true New Orleans Bootie-Shakin' music, so leave your inhibitions at the door and put you head in the Wig.
