Search - Sunburned Hand of the Man :: Trickle Down Theory of Lord Knows What

"Sunburned Hand of the Man is a band in the loose sense of the word; it's better described as a banner under which a collective of musical freaks have gathered ... the group was fast picking up a host of likeminded dropouts and musical wanderers who would show at their loft, and their sound soon began to incorporate everything from early American folk music to drone, free jazz, space rock, and funk." -- ALL MUSIC GUIDE Sunburned Hand of the Man is based on the East Coast - most of the band members live around Boston, but some are in New York and Vermont. Essentially created out of a short-lived band called Shit Spangled Banner, John Moloney and Rob Thomas formed Sunburned Hand of the Man in the late nineties. Trickle Down Theory was released in 2003 and was only their second title on vinyl (or not on CD-R, for that matter). Considered by many to be one of their best releases, it sees the group using distorted guitars, looped vocals, Eastern melodies, and a dark atmosphere.
