A relative newcomer to the LA scene, Hands began as a two-piece from Philadelphia before Halliday and Sweeney headed to LA and added Hess and Staniloff to the line-up. The band made a mark on the scene immediately, quickly playing packed shows across the country including stops at SXSW, CMJ and Deluna Fest, headlining Echo Park Rising, sessions with Daytrotter, and a west coast jaunt with Maps and Atlases. Hands’ ability to win over fans with their live show and dance friendly sound has already earned them opening spots for the likes of Deerhoof, DeVotchKa, Foster the People and Kimbra as well as playing shows to sold out crowds at venues across LA.
