Snakefinger

Snakefinger was a talented British musician known for his innovative guitar work and unique blend of avant-garde, blues, and punk influences. His real name was Philip Charles Lithman. Active mainly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, he collaborated closely with bandleader and composer The Residents, creating experimental and boundary-pushing music. His distinctive style combined a raw, expressive guitar sound with a theatrical approach, making him a respected figure in underground music circles. Tragically, Snakefinger passed away in 1987, but his work continues to inspire musicians interested in experimental and alternative genres.
