Giant Hand makes “Hottest Bands in Canada” List

I made the "Hottest Bands in Canada" list this year.  Not even last place! Number 21 in fact!

Here's what was said:

"Giant Hand scares me in a titillating way.

(Jim, Quick Before It Melts)

As if playing some of Canada's biggest festivals weren't good enough, opening for Daniel Johnston sealed the deal. Giant Hand is the real thing.

(Wells)

Less than two years ago, Kirk Ramsay had never even picked up a guitar. Then he watched a documentary on Daniel Johnston, was inspired to start playing...and a year and a half later, he was opening for Johnston himself. Throw in an amazing debut (Coming Home), appearances at Pop Montreal and the Ottawa Bluesfest, and opening spots for the likes of Handsome Furs, Ohbijou, Timber Timbre and The Lovely Feathers, and you've got yourself one impressive year."
