Spanning 30+ years, with 19 different band members slipping in and out of the strong yet, gentle grasp of this Texas based ensemble, HANDS has weathered the eternally fickle, sometimes rewarding and oh so cruelly entertaining dung storm...otherwise known as the music business. While disregarding any notion of establishing parameters for their unique sound, there has always been a sort of invisible template if you will, that keeps the group's classical/jazz/rock, art-popping old school progressive stylings "slightly" to the left of center.

Hey Hands, just stopped by 4 a little dose of "NEW SKIES". Very cool song! U know the holidays are upon us again so I thought I'd help kick start the magic with a Christmas video that's been heating up the airwaves here in Chicago on WLUP 97.9 fm. Hope u and your friends like it and enjoy the holidays.

UNIVERSE 

Comparing the solar system to an atom, the earth is an electron.

How do you feel being one among zillions of inhabitants of an electron?
 
Comparing one atom to the solar system, each electron is a planet.

How do you feel being a universe?
