All hands?

Usually you first release a cd, then get some reviews and then hopefully some gigs. But with the English band The Hand Me Downs it's a whole different ballgame. 

Just the fact that a number of relatively  young British ( and one American ) top musicians joined forces was enough for a number of Dutch fests to book them. And that without one single note being produced!  In the meanwhile they made their scorching debut  last Sunday June 15th at Botermarktblues in Haarlem. And people are eager in anticipation of their shows at  Bospop (July 12th) and Giethoorn ( August 18th). Under the guidance of guitarist Jesse Davey ( Hoax ) and singer Wanbdi ( Indigenous ) the line up always consists of minimally one other super guitarist ( Scott McKeon and / or Jon Amor ) with the backing of a top notch rhythm section. Heavy? That's the understatement of the year.
