Cut Off Your Hands

Hey there,
We are a four peice band from New Zealand, originally called Shaky Hands but now Cut Off Your Hands….

This was due to the threat of legal action from a band from Portland, Oregon. They didn’t like us using the name (or anything similar) in America as they did get to that teritory first and it would have been too time consuming and costly for us to take this matter to court.

We did think about still calling ourselves Shaky Hands and having the name Cut Off Your Hands just for America but that would have got too confusing hence the complete name change. We got the name Cut Off Your Hands from the title of our EP, the EP is now called Shaky Hands..

So to find us please go to www.myspace.com/cutoffyourhands

We love you all for being our friends & look forward to seeing you soon!!

The red, white and blue album cover pictured above is the “Shaky Hands” (formerly “Cut Off Your Hands”) EP by Cut Off Your Hands (formerly Shaky Hands) (New Zealand). The album to its right is “The Shaky Hands” LP by The Shaky Hands (Portland, Oregon).

Cut Off Your Hands are pictured above being silly with grass in their mouth and some fake chickens in the background. Here is a picture of The Shaky Hands being silly in the trunk of a vehicle:

Shaky Hands

The Shaky Hands share a member with the Castanets, and have been compared to Neutral Milk Hotel, R.E.M., and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Saying “Cut Off Your Hands Say Yeah” is a funny joke, even though Cut Off Your Hands‘ music sounds nothing like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Both of these bands are playing CMJ. Both of these hands are playing BrooklynVegan shows. The Shaky Hands are playing my Bowery Ballroom show on October 16th with The Rosebuds, Dean & Britta, Miracle Fortress, Bon Iver, The Most Serene Republic, and one more unannounced band. Tickets are on sale. Cut Off Your Hands are playing my Pianos show on October 17th AT NOON. Celebration, Black Ghosts and many more unnanounced bands are also on that bill (full show TBA soon). It is free. All tour dates below…..
