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.'

About held by hands

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.

The Unfortunate Incident - @ The Plug 18/7	Mar 17 2009 1:08 AM Hello, <br />We are playing the lovely Cardigan Arms on the 21st of March.

Have a listen on our page and see if you like what we are up to <br /> <br />"AN AMAZING LIVE ACT, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN" (Sandman Magazine) <br /> <br />"AN IMPRESSIVE SET FROM A BAND WITH A KNACK FOR WRITING CATCHY SONGS AND DELIVERING THEM LIVE AS WELL AS IN THE STUDIO" (Sandman Magazine) <br />"PROMISING SONG WRITERS" (Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6) <br /> <br />"THESE DAYS I FIND THRASH AND POWER POP A BIT REPETITIVE, BUT THIS WAS REMINISCENT OF MORRISSEY WHILE STILL BEING PERSONAL, I HEAR THE POSSIBILITY OF A GOOD FUTURE. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU COULD SUPRISE US ALL ONE DAY". (Paul Gambaccini, BBC Radio 6) <br /> <br />Anyway, it would be nice to see you there. <br /> <br />All The Best <br />The Unfortunate Incident

The Unfortunate Incident - @ The Plug 18/7	Nov 25 2008 10:30 PM Hello, we are foreigners from Sheffield that will be playing Leeds on the 12th of December at the Cardigan Arms. It would be grand if you could come and make noise for us, as Sheffield folk are far too frightend to come to a big city like leeds. Cheers The Unfortunate Incident
