Articulate Chewbacca, Sunburned Hand of The Man

Monday, October 6th 8PM $5

Sunburned Hand of the Man has an amorphous lineup, with composition and instrumentation potentially varying from gig to gig. They release records on the Eclipse Records label, Ecstatic Peace, as well as a number of smaller labels, and produce a great number of limited edition albums on CD-R via their own Manhand label. In 2005 the band toured the United States to play Arthurfest in Los Angeles with Magik Markers. Many regard Sunburned Hand of the Man as contributors to the New Weird America folk revival.

“Articulate Chewbacca features members of The Nice Jenkins (Jordan Brunk and Adam Brock) newly annointed State Band of Virginia Truman Sparks (guitarists Jon Bray and Adam Smith) and Scott Ritchie of Myceum. The group unfurls searing highs and grunting lows, delivered in layers that you don’t listen to so much as swim through. These wookie-rockers’ transitions are crisp: slipping from 7/4-time thrash into crackling ambient noise, not unlike the great post-rock band Slint.” – Cville July 18th 2008
