Some say 'The greatest band to have ever lived' It's a criminal shame they are not as big as ABBA
You know you're going to love it, go give it a spin! #ska #2tone #TheSpecials
Seems it wasn't for everyone! Sorry Jason, we let you down Anyone else hate it? 😆
We've gone and put a recover down on record for the first time ever! What better band to honour than ska heroes The Specials!? A little taster of what to expect on Friday when we play the 'Almost Acoustic' stage at Rebellion festival
Full lineup for London announced today! Be a sport and share the bloody thing!
Hello bluesky! It's been a while. How's this place doing? Check out the new lineup for Handfest London. Buster Shuffle now in the mix Full lineup coming soon!
Friday of handfest is TODAY! Here are some stage times for you! Let's get freaky And remember, be cool, don't touch anyone that doesn't want to be touched and keep hydrated!
We're reuniting with our besties Sonic Boom Six. It's been a heckin long time since we went out and did a load of club shows together. This is the first two of a load more planned for the year!
Some juicy day splits for Leeds #handfest Saturday is already sold out! Can we say 'sold out' on blue sky without getting spammed? I guess I'll find out
Was a little (taller than me) 12 year old at the Salisbury show last night and he was chatting away to me and asked me if I had heard of this band he had recently got into called @randomhand.co.uk. Was super cool to see him so excited about music and ska and punk bands. Gave him a CD. Felt right
Well, it's been a while. A lot of stuff's happened. We recorded an album, Frosty became a dad, and we went on hiatus But not one of them indefinite hiatuses you hear so much about, nevers because we can now announce our first gig back well be at Handfest in January! @randomhand.co.uk
Proper love The Traitors. Been grinning ear to ear all the way through the first episode this evening! Bring it on!
👀 would you look at that! All weekend tickets sold out weeks ago. About 80 day tickets left for each day. Going to be one hell of a party
Zen Baseballbat really are a wonderful band. They aren't really a ska band anymore, but absolutely love what they have become. They were one of the first bands with a national profile that championed us back in the day, and it meant a lot!
@randomhand.co.uk FB just told me that this was 2 years ago today. One of my favourite Random Hand gigs
The end of October is going to be ruddy marvellous! London, Southampton & Bristol with some of our favourite people Would be lovely if you were there too!
On our drive to Scotland at the weekend, Dan pointed out Turnstile sound like if Lush made Hardcore, and he's very right!
Loads coming up this month! Hebden Bridge The Trades Club this Saturday - with Zen Baseballbat & Plot 32 Camden The Underworld - 24th October - WONK UNIT & Jet8 Southampton The Joiners - 25th October - Wonk Unit, Jet8 & Phinius Gage Brisol The Fleece - 26th October - Wonk Unit, Jet8

Really can't wait to get to our home from, Newcastle! Soon to be actual home for me... Annoyingly after we play there mind. Excited to play the Grove for the first time too!!
Any of you lot in Newcastle? You coming to the grove next week?
Who fancies London? Been a LOOOONG time since we played the Underworld
No one told us!! Rebellion was a wild good gig despite getting told off
Can people help us convince @holywowstudios.bsky.social to put 'devil with a microphone' on an update of their game Trombone Champ?
Lovely of the Bar Stool Preacher gang for putting this together for us! Honour to share a piece of wax with them. Four variants, when they are gone they are gone!
