Sunburned Hand of The Man
Sunburned Hand of the Man is an experimental band from Massachusetts that formed in 1997 from the remnants of the Boston psychedelic punk trio Shit Spangled Banner.
Sunburned Hand of the Man has an amorphous lineup, with composition and instrumentation potentially varying from gig to gig. Their work is improvisational within a structured framework, so no two performances of a piece are identical--they may not even have the same title--but the piece evolves and each version may be seen as a growth from the prior version.
They release records on the Eclipse Records label, 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.

From Mike Bones:
"I grew up in New Jersey, in the same city as the talented and critically-acclaimed songwriter and performer Ted Leo. May I suggest then, that I am proof that even in a vast cesspool like New Jersey, there is nothing in the water. I taught myself to play the guitar and I achieved a Catholic high school education. At first chance, I moved across the river to New York City where I still live.
"I got a place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a friend from home. The mid to late Nineties, as history has clearly shown us, was a creative time for that particular neighborhood, where many bands that are celebrated today got their start. Sadly, I didn't see or play in any of those bands. I used hard drugs daily and played the guitar a bit. I wasted hours pondering anything. I rarely left my block. Sometimes I slept with women.
"Having survived the peculiar and troublesome existential dilemma that is late adolescence, I got my shit together and wound up living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, which I preferred to Brooklyn. I started playing in bands and writing terrible songs. I managed to have relationships that lasted longer than a few mont [Read more]

I bought clothes by Ralph Lauren.
"Then I got serious about writing songs.
"I had to give up the job. A frustrated girlfriend left me. The clothes have holes in them and the rent is late. The usual. But I suspect the songs have gotten a little better. Things are looking up."
