About Me

Hello.

We're not playing shows anymore - we have "split up".

Genuine thanks to everyone that put us on, gave us food* or a place to stay.

Thanks!

*Please read this bit carefully. You know who you are. So thanks for the water & fuck off.

Sounds Like: 'The minimal recordings available to the proletariat belie the majestic, emotive performances that the much expanded Held By Hands share with us when they play live. Not entirely a world apart from The Flaming Lips, Giant Sand, Arcade Fire et al, the utterly sublime catchiness of the vocal refrain of 'Trading on Past Treasures' not only makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, it will most likely plait them into a thick cord and choke tears from your eyes.'

Were not playing the Casiotone show but it wont let me change the listing.

It's all in the title, really.  Steve's broken his wrist so we won't be doing anything in public for a while.Sorry.Matt.
