The Hand to Man Band is an American independent experimental music group formed in 2010. [2] Their music has been described as spanning "psychotropic jazz to konked-out funk to skronked-out dirges to alien transmissions to plaintive nocturnal pleas." [3]
Nicholas Taplin, owner of Post-Consumer Records, invited Thollem McDonas to Austin, Texas to record for him. [2] McDonas invited John Dieterich to join and Dieterich himself invited Tim Barnes. [2] McDonas then asked Mike Watt and the group began improvising. [2] The initial plan was to perform some gigs after recording but Watt's commitments to The Stooges prevented his joining them on the road. [2]
The album, You Are Always On Our Minds, wouldn't be released until 2012. [3] [4] The title came from a fortune cookie Watt once received. [5]
