Eight Things You Need to Know About Felled Hands:
#1 – Chicago band Felled Hands created the music for Libidoland. It is beautiful.
#2 – To create their unique psych-folk sound, Felled Hands uses off-the-wall instruments such as a homemade theremin and a mini-synthesizer that can only be played with a stylus. (Try saying ‘synthesizer stylus’ 3 times fast.)
#3 – Founding members Jeremy Price and Dan Querfeld have been refining and redefining their boombox aesthetic since being forced to stand next to each other in alphabetical order in the mid-90s.
#4 – To stave off boredom while working together in a department store, Dan and Jeremy once fashioned a fake weapon out of items scavenged from a storage room. Their name for their creation: Uncle Scorpy. Until they obtain the legal patent, they ask kindly that you not steal their awesome name.
#5 – Jeremy has appeared in several King is a Fink films. He starred in Snow Bunny and had small but memorable roles in Daredevil Cleaners and various installments of the Girl Rods series. Jeremy is also a stunning visual artist whose work is being showcased at several galleries this fall, including the Paul W. Perkins Studio/Gallery (opening Friday 9/25 6 – 10pm – 1840 S. Halstead Apt 1R, Chicago, IL 60608.)
#6 – Dan once lived in Alaska and shares a birthday with wise country singer Tom T. Hall (‘Watermelon Wine’).
#7 – Other contributing members of Felled Hands include Vicky Merrell and Marci Ackerhalt-Price, who starred opposite Jeremy in Snow Bunny.
