SHOTM return to the UK and Ireland in June for a tour where they play
all forms of venues in all shapes and sizes. After playing London show
in April with Four Tet and Kode 9, in June they play the Venn
Festival, perform a play at the ICA and do some special sideshow
projects shows. They move around, metamorphosis, time travel and play
in their own special way. Live they exist between chaos and clariy -
their's is a vast sound. Be it African beat, Svengali hisses, fried
rock n roll, elastic funk, electronic manipulations, sound clips,
drone, Euro-trance, etc it is a total in the moment live experience

MORE INFO:
This band of brothers/sisters follow no rules. They honestly and
strangely do there own thing, call it improvisation, free spirit,
contrariness..too little time and too many ideas. Like their recorded
output at any point spoken word, noise rock, odd ambiance's can be
filtered through their combined and multifarious mindset and suddenly
they push up the rhythm section, mask come out, it all sticks together
and it all becomes deranged – maybe sounding like the Bomb Squad
re-mixing a 23 Skidoo/Gong show. The house then will shake to their
sound. This ability to surprise, to groove, to play weird and
wonderful endears them to a legion of ever-swelling fans. The
mutantability also enables them to play such a broad range of shows in
different guises, with duplicitous approaches. Welcome to the wide
open church of SHOTM.

"Sunburned Hand of the Man has been an a wild and weird psych
collective (I don't even want to classify them as anything as they
defy all generalizations and genre peggings) since its inception in
Charlestown, Massachusettes way back in 1996. A collective in the most
literal sense: the lineup changes, goes through phases; they used to
be holed up a Charlestown loft that saw members and contributors come
in and out on a regular and frequent basis; none of their releases
have been expected or planned terribly far in advance ... they just
sort of wax and wane like the moon.

In their tenure as a group, Sunburned has played with a plethora of
heavyweights -- from Sonic Youth to Mission of Burma to Dinosaur Jr.
-- as well as a myriad other bands, from Magik Markers to Sunn O))) to
Wolf Eyes. To say the least, Sunburned has been around, paid its dues,
collaborated with the best of 'em, the juniors and the seniors alike."

SHOTM play a social and informal music, unshaped, unstructured, but
completely determined by our immediate culture. While summoning up
their music on stage it seems to take shape with sounds and patterns
the reflect the myriad of influences that the ever-changing Sunburned
collective are riffing on at that very vital moment.
