A popular indie rock frontman accused of stealing from a busy supermarket has indicated that he will fight the charge.
Sticky Fingers lead singer Dylan Frost, 34, pleaded not guilty to one count of larceny when the matter was mentioned for the first time in his absence at Downing Centre Local Court on Monday.
He allegedly stole half of a roast chicken and an iced coffee at Woolworths Metro in Haymarket in Sydney’s CBD on June 27, according to court documents.
The roast chicken costs $6.50 while the Ice Break Double Espresso is $2.65.
Frost’s pregnant girlfriend Elyssa Ford, 23 has also been charged with one count of larceny after she allegedly stole a packet of Life Savers Raspberry Stix from the store on the same days.
The couple didn’t attend Monday’s court mention, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Ford is yet to enter a plea for her larceny charge.
The registrar told the court that Frost and Ford had entered separate submissions as to why they couldn’t attend Monday’s mention.

Frost is currently taking part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and is understood to be living in Queensland.
The court heard that Ford splits her time between NSW and Queensland and couldn’t attend the hearing as she’s pregnant and currently has other health related issues.
The registrar accepted Frost’s not guilty plea and adjourned his case to September 30 for evidence documents to be tabled.
The register adjourned Ford’s case for two weeks and said that she should notify the court of her plea if she can’t attend.
Sticky Fingers was formed in 2008 in Sydney as an independent band and includes Frost and Paddy Cornwall as the lead vocalists.
The group quickly shot to fame and released three top five albums and also earned ARIA platinum albums and gold plaques.

The band has also been streamed a billion times on Spotify.
Frost and the group have been caught up in controversy in recent years that saw the band booted from performing at the annual music festival Bluesfest in 2023.
The controversial move was made after Frost was accused of abusive and threatening behaviour.
He allegedly abused and threatened Aussie singer Thelma Plum and her boyfriend outside a Sydney pub in 2016.
Frost allegedly made racist comments at a gig later that same year, however he publicly denied making the remarks.

Frost said in a statement he is ‘wholeheartedly against racism’ and apologised for his previous behaviour.
‘I also have to acknowledge that my alcoholic behaviour in the past has intimidated or made people feel unsafe around me, and I am truly sorry for this,’ he said.
