The Rich Hands make rock music. Their tags on Bandcamp are awesome. They include: beasts of yucca flats, can’t get enough of you, cold dead night, ghost dance blues, and rock n’ roll.
These four dudes are making really cool blues rock. That’s a genre that’s way too overdone these days, and it’s really refreshing to find a band that does it well.
“Beasts Of Yucca Flats” is one of the best blues rock jams I’ve heard in quite a while. “Can’t Get Enough Of You” is a lot more typical, but it’s played and recorded really well.
These songs were recorded at Sweatbox Studios in Austin. I can’t imagine how hot a place in Texas called Sweatbox is. I hope that’s an ironic name. Texas is way to hot.
The members of The Rich Hands were friends in high school who loved 50s rock and 60s pop. They know their influences, and they regularly take great lessons from them to create their own musical greats.
If you get the opportunity and you like good old fashioned rock and roll, I’d absolutely recommend seeing The Rich Hands live sometime. They seem to play around the San Antonio area pretty regularly, branching out to other cities sometimes.
Texas, you are known for the blues, and you’re doing a great job of turning out lots and lots of new blues rock bands all the time. Too many of them sound the same, but this one does not. The Rich Hands is a great one. Thank you.
