CAPTAIN FOR DARK MORNINGS
Two brain-meltingly epic songs, one being the only song written for Sticklips by the late, great Jonathan Nocera. Don’t you worry, a whole album is gettin’ nice and crispy for ya in the oven… these things take time.
Rest in Peace
On July 3rd we lost our dear friend, insanely gifted musician and founding member of Sticklips, Jonathan “JP” Nocera. He passed away peacefully after a courageous year-long battle with cancer.
While Sticklips will never be the same, JP will be with us always as a guiding light and an endless spring of inspiration.
Our second album, which will be completed this fall, will be a monument to JP’s life and will devoutly follow his final instructions for the future of our music:
“Keep it weird.”
Rest in Peace, Renaldo. We’ll be rocking with you soon.
