Los Angeles-based indie rock band Hands had a successful fall supporting On And On and Electric Guest as part of the Red Bull Sound Select tour and are excited to get back on the road this winter. Hands will be supporting Wild Cub on their US upcoming tour. Hands is playing shows in support of their debut full-length album, Synesthesia which is out now on Kill Rock Stars.
Hands began as a two-piece from Philadelphia before Geoff Halliday and Ryan Sweeney headed west to Los Angeles where they added the low and thump of Sean Hess and Alex Staniloff. The band made a mark on the scene immediately, quickly playing packed shows across the country including stops at SXSW, CMJ, Deluna Fest and Los Angeles' Echo Park Rising. Hands' ability to win over fans with their feverish live show and dance-party-ready sound has already earned them opening spots for the likes of Deerhoof, DeVotchKa, Foster the People, WAVVES, Geographer, White Arrows, Maps and Atlases, Ra Ra Riot and Kimbra as well as playing shows to sold out crowds at venues across LA.
For now, Hands' graceful and danceable indie rock is still under the radar, as evidenced by their spot in TIME Magazine's 11 Bands You Don't Know (But Should) List, but they are quickly rising to the surface, bringing their melodies and thumping beats with them. Over the past year, Hands has built a devoted following for their evolving palette of sounds, soaring melodies, and complex looping song structures. Stereogum said, "If you're a fan of Hot Chip or Tanlines, this is your band to follow."
