Over the last three years Double Handed have perfected their captivating live show in their hometown of Adelaide, South Australia, and during regular trips to Melbourne and Sydney.
Release of their debut EP, Therapist, in September of 2006 has helped boost the band’s fanbase to a new level, helping them pack out premier Adelaide venues such as the Enigma Bar, Fowlers Live, Governer Hindmarsh Hotel, Jade Monkey and Adelaide Unibar and play alongside acts such as Mammal, the White Room, Rook and Bushido.
September 12th, 2009 sees Double Handed releasing their long awaited debut album, A Book of Back Pages, produced by the Aria nominated Matt Hills (Wolf & Cub, Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!, City Riots.) It's an album that blends sprawling epics with immediately memorable licks, perfectly capturing Double Handed's energetic live show.
Musical comparisons to Cog, Incubus and the Mars Volta have been drawn by press but the band clearly have an energy and style of their own.
