The Roadhouse Lounge in West Point, NE served up cold beer, shots and a good party this past Saturday. We pumped out the rock and roll under the stars in the beer garden on yet another excellent summer night. We've had so many great nights this summer we're starting to think that Mother Nature is throwing up the horns and rockin' with us!
Much thanks to everyone who came out to share the night with us. You guys are the reason we love to come to West Point! Also, I must give props to the crew at the Roadhouse. You guys are great! By the way, who knew that bartender could sing Buckcherry so well?!
It was nearly 1 year ago since we had the privilege of opening for Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo at the Divot's Event Center in Norfolk, NE. In honor of that memorable show, we've placed the video of our performance of "Fueled by the View" as our Featured Video. Go to our Video page or to the Mr. Hand YouTube page to check out this and other videos.
We rolled into CJ's this past Saturday ready for a party on the patio. And, as usual our friends there did not disappoint! It was a great night and we had a blast. Thanks to Bear and his crew for taking care of us and of course everyone who came out.
God bless America, Fireworks and Rock & Roll! It was a great night to be an American on July 4th in West Point, NE. A great crowd with many familiar faces was on hand to celebrate West Point's 150th birthday and party under the stars with Mr. Hand. Mother Nature also chipped in and supplied an absolutely perfect summer night.
Thanks to everyone who came out, we hope to see you at the Roadhouse Lounge in West Point on August 9th!
We were told it had been something like 15 years since there had been a street dance in Primrose, NE! We're happy that Mr. Hand could break that seal and bring back some rock and roll to the streets of Primrose. Thanks to the good folks who put on the party and make us feel welcome. We appreciate it and hope to make it back next summer.
Let us apologize now for the blistering rock and roll assault that took place at The Deopt in Norfolk, NE this past weekend! In fact the only relief provided was the ice cold Jagermeister shots administered by the bar!
Thanks to everyone who made it out and helped introduce the unaware to a midwestern rock and roll party. Check out the photos.
With your help it could happen! We've entered the Last Band Standing contest that gives you the opportunity to help decide which band gets the chance to play at Lollapalooza in Chicago this summer.
So here's the deal: we have until June 23rd to rack up as many votes as possible and make the top 100 bands who will advance to the next round for expert panelist judging. Please go to the Mr. Hand band page and vote for us!
Good times and rock & roll were on tap at Rhonda's Speakeasy in Sioux City, IA this past weekend. We had a great time as usual and enjoyed seeing everyone who stopped out. We won't be back to Rhonda's until August but you can bet we'll be counting the days!
We played a Graduation Party for our friend Karly last weekend outside of Pierce, NE. They had everything at this party: good food, beer, a Care Bear cooler filled with Schlitz, police, and a rockin good time! Here's the pictures.

Help a friend win Slash's guitar! (Originally posted on 04-20-08)
Some friends of ours need your help! Their 11 year old son, Cal, has entered a contest to win Slash's Les Paul guitar and has made it to the final 10!
Here's where he needs your help. Visit the contest site and vote "Thumbs Up" for Cal's video. His video is the 4th one down on the page and titled "Gimme That Cool Slash Les Paul." You can also view his video on YouTube, but you can only vote on the contest site.
One more thing, by voting for Cal's video you can be entered to win an Epiphone Slash Les Paul Standard Plus Top! You can vote as many times as you like before April 30th and each time you do is an additional entry to win the Epiphone guitar. So not only can you help Cal, but you have a chance to win too!
