Hands is a song about about 5’ness, and revolution:
“The time has come to rise
Cast all doubt aside
Freedom standing by
Victory is nigh.”
One is a point
Two points a line
Three points a triangle
Four make a square
5 points ! break the box, supersonic, spectacular, star, our precious hands, deliciously prime, which form the world, which express love, caress, direct, and pull the strings to create these sounds, lift the veil, and feel into the freedom standing by.

@@davidfuzefiuczynski I used to come all the time with my good friend John Madera, who ended up buying your Tom Anderson. I think it ended up with my brother if you ever want me to track it down for you. I cNt say enough about your music. So grateful for you and your work with the torsos and Mechelle Ndegocello

You guys are the quintessential experience of NPR Tiny Desk. If they don't ever feature you, they're insane. I've loved this band since I was eight years old, and heard the 1995 release. The backbeat drive, the Afrobeat layering, and Débo's vocals in this just cement a perfect performance, and a perfect track

me too, everything this band has done is a musical world unto itself. This has been one of my favorite bands since the 90s and I marvel at the obscurity. I just turned a friend onto this band and watching his expressions as he heard them for the first time was priceless. He said, " Where has this been my whole life?"
