"Sunburned Hand of the Man (aka "Sunburned") are a loose knit gang of musical artists from the wilds of Eastern Massachusetts. Founded as a way to let off steam from years of obsessive weirdo record collecting and perversely decoding the hand jive of wanton talents from the psychedelic and punk rock hardcore scenes in the Boston zone Sunburned was born to be awesome. The nucleus of the group is a small ragtag contingent of fascinants completely focused on the idea of spontaneous composition within the framework of religious experience: the rock n roll EVENT" - Thurston Moore

Championed by the likes of Julian Cope, Micheal Hurley, Thurston Moore and Byron Coley (who once called them a “human zoo”).
