About Me


Coolhand at the age of ten was a founding member of the band Insanity (1994-1998),
and a founding member of the bands Living Chaos (1997-2005),
and Controversy Kills (2005-present).
He was also a part time member of the punk rock outfit The Hicky Doo's (1995-2000).
This is his first stab at a solo project.
What you can expect here is a more of a soul searching sound with a twist of experiment and some old Hicks flavor.
If you like any of those bands and are looking for a deeper sound with the voice of Hicks then you are going to love this.
Hicks will debut all solo and future CK songs here and will also embark on a solo tour through the spring and summer.
This isnt a sign that CK is ending...instead its a step forward to say that CK is home but sometimes we are away from our home and this is what our holiday would sound like....enjoy.
