NEW RELEASE DATE NOW 9th OF SEPTEMBER 2009.
'The man with the STEREO hands' is the musical alter ego of Singer/Songwriter/Multi-instrumentalist - Neil Dwerryhouse.
The name comes from a song written by good friend Rex Stinson, guitarist from nineties indie-pop shoe-gazers STRAWBERRY STORY, a band that recruited Neil in to provide extra guitar and catchy keyboard riffs, both Live and in the studio.
An NME single of the week, 'The Man with the Stereo Hands' was released as a 4 track E.P. on Vinyl Japan records in 1992 and features a cartoon caricature of Neil on the Front cover.
Some have suggested that the actual song is about him, but this has never been confirmed or denied.
The man with the stereo hands has played various instruments in numerous bands over the years. Most notably in the 1990s supplying Space echo driven Guitar for MARK BURGESS & THE SONS OF GOD, on tour in the UK, Germany, North America and in the studio on the album PARADYNING (1995) where a co-writing credit appears on the song 'ADRIAN BE'.
The band featured MARK BURGESS and JOHN LEVER from post-punk cult Manchester band THE CHAMELEONS, and the touring Live set consisted mainly of both Chameleons classics and rare tracks such as 'The Healer' and 'Is it any wonder?' that were recorded just before The Chameleons split in 1987.
The band also performed tracks from the Sons of God album 'Zima Junction' with Songwriter and ELBOW inspiration Bryan Glancy joining them on stage for the UK gigs.
Two official SONS OF GOD Live CD albums were released, 'Live in Manchester 1993' and 'Spring blooms tra-la', if you're lucky you may still find these for sale on ebay but they are now increasingly rare and fetch high prices.
Both recordings wrongly credit guitarist Neil as NEIL FINN. This obvious mistake occurred when an unknown person mis-heard his stage name, which at the time was actually Neil THIN. (While still recording solo material under the name of THE THIN MEN).
After disappearing into the musical wilderness, he returned to play Live in front of an audience for the first time in eight years at an open mike night in 2006. This performance led to gig bookings and a Singalong set of classic new wave, punk and indie cover versions delighted audiences with its different take on the usual one man and a guitar performance.
In 2007 a 13 track retrospective CD album of original solo recordings was released and sold via the STEREOHANDS website and is now a collectable rarity.
Currently recording new material in the studio for a new CD album which will contain the first original material to be released in 11 years. The new album release date has been delayed again after meetings with numerologists and has been advised to be 9th of September 2009.
