Hundred Handed

Gigs & News

The Hundred Handed, as a band, have decided, after much angst and thought, that they are no longer going to continue in their present format. It is with great sadness that this decision has been made, but alongside that sadness there is also a lot of appreciation for all the support and help that many of you have offered them over the years. So whilst this does not spell the end for the members of the Hundred Handed musically, it does spell the end for them at present being in the Hundred Handed.

The final gig was incredible, both sad and triumphant. See the Pigeon Hole for more details.

hundredhanded.com will continue to exist for the forseeable future.

Friends, it's been too long and much is afoot. As many people will know, high drama surrounded what was billed as our 'final' show on the 4th of November. Ben Beare was hospitalised before the gig and, after much deliberation, the rest of the band decided to soldier on without him in the name of better times. The evening was a triumph on all fronts except one - a final performance without Ben Beare is much like a marital bed without a matress, and we were left unsatisfied. Therefore:

The Hundred Handed will play their 'final' final show on Saturday the 3rd February at London's magnificent Luminaire. The incomparable Billy Wobbledagger and the sublime You & The Atom Bomb will share the stage with us. There will be 100 free 'Will & Testament' compilations featuring Hundred Handed tracks old, new, rare and unjustly forgotten. The best DJs in the land will entertain into the early hours of the morning and the celebratory drinks will flow freely. We would be honoured if you would attend.

August brings an extra large helping of HH gigs. We're excited!

We've been recording what is rumoured to be a new EP with Karen at a rather nice studio in battersea called Sphere during its downtime. We pulled an all-nighter and recorded from 3pm til 4am. We'd love to record more, it was great fun. Many thanks to Karen for putting up with us all night :)

A special thanks goes to those who joined us for our last practice/gig at backstreet studios (and at the pub after). We shall miss that moldy, damp special place. We have now found a new home at Fortress near Old Street which is nice.

And super special extra thanks goes to You & The Atom Bomb for being an ace band and ace hosts when we went down to bristol to play with them. People danced, we partied at their house til the wee hours and to top it off their new mini-album is fantastic! Pop music with unexpected twists and turns.

Backstreet studios, where we've practiced and stored our kit for the last 4+ years, is closing on the 6th July. We need a new space ASAP, so any recommendations would be much appreciated. We're turning our last practice at Backstreet into a gig, so feel free to turn up at 1pm on Sunday 2nd July for a free show. d
