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!

@randomhand.co.uk Deadweight!

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

I'm sorry about this

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

Look at us looking tired and old on Tynemouth beach! Then come see us play on Saturday in Hebden Bridge Thanks to all who made Edinburgh and Newcastle so special, we had the best time!

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

We call this going for an 'AC Slater'

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!

Excited to be heading to Newcastle in September and playing a new spot!

Why on earth does the new War of the Worlds film exist. What is the point in it? Can't believe I just watched it

First announcement in for #HandFest in Leeds next year! 1/3 of tickets already gone! Can't wait. Who's coming?

Good looking record that!

Not too shabby. Cheers @randomhand.co.uk top night

Hebden bridge! Why not? Let's do it

Why on earth does this exist?!

In April I got COVID and had symptoms for 8+ weeks. It properly fucked up the delicate tightrope that is keeping the band moving forward. Podcast, Merch and gig booking hugely suffered as a result. Slowly getting back on top of it, while navigating parenting and work. Thanks for your patience

Excited to get back to Birmingham for the first time in over a decade!

Any Falmouth folk in the Bluesky mix?

Incoming shows! 20 June - BIRMINGHAM - The Flapper 21 June - MANCHESTER - NW Calling 3 July - DERBY - Hairy Dog* 4 July - PLYMOUTH - The Junction* 5 July - FALMOUTH - The Cornish Bank* *Stage one of 'PEACE TALKS' with Faintest Idea

Peace Talks in bound

Who fancies another Handfest? How about Leeds on the 30/31 Jan?

Gig #67. A trip to Nottingham to see @randomhand.co.uk tonight at a new venue for me (Saltbox). Great support from The Social Club and Call Me Malcolm.

Great gig in Liverpool last night! @randomhand.co.uk smashed it as always. I was really impressed with Sadaxe too. Rough Trade is a cool little venue, would definitely go back there.

Last night in Liverpool was so much fun! Thanks again to @randomhand.co.uk for having us! And thanks to @hellsditchmusic.bsky.social and Call me Malcolm for being great! Liverpool, see you again September 6th!

Excited for Liverpool and Nottingham this weekend! Rad bands, loads of tickets sold, new venues! Wooop!

Very lucky to get to spend time with my music family this weekend in Liverpool & Nottingham @randomhand.co.uk

Be more Murf!

Liverpool inbound! What a night this will be

Nottingham next Saturday! Gonna be a ruddy great time! Excited to play a new venue

I could've eaten a little tub of ice cream while watching @randomhand.co.uk at a theatre last night

Nearly 20 years on and @randomhand.co.uk still my favourite live band. Danced like a right plonker and loved every minute, cheers for the great night guys

TONIGHT This BONE Bradford ST. GEORGE'S HALL It's going to be a night to remember!
