Hello everyone! Mr. Hand would like to let you all know that starting in January 2012 we are taking a break from performing. We have no definite plans for how long or how short this break will be. Only that after 16 years of playing without any extended breaks, we sure could use it, and need a nice break.

99 Red Balloons video
We started covering this song last fall. We grew up, as most children of the 80′s, with Nena’s 99 Red Balloons firmly implanted in our brains thanks to radio and MTV. We were reminded of it and inspired by Goldfinger’s version of this song from a few years back, so we figured why not?
This comes from our show at Kennedy’s Irish Pub in Omaha on January 2nd.
Our Simple Ways E.P. now streaming online!
That’s right, you can now listen to the entire Simple Ways E.P. through our Mr. Hand YouTube Channel! We’ve also included these videos here and on the Simple Ways E.P. page on our site so you can take a listen to the album for free!
Enjoy…
Jessie’s Girl video
Jessie’s Girl has been a very popular song that we’ve been playing in our shows for quite a few years now. In fact the only person who gets asked to play this song more than us has to be Rick Springfield himself! Even when we happen to skip over it, someone usually is there to remind us to play it!
So with that in mind we’ve uploaded this video for your viewing pleasure. This video was recorded at a street dance in Bancroft, NE this past summer. Enjoy!
Show Report: Bancroft, NE 071109
What a perfect Saturday night in Bancroft, NE last weeekend. We were fortunate enough to play for Bancroft’s Q125 Celebration and aside from Craig getting a warning for speeding on his way to Bancroft from Sioux City, the entire night went off without any additional warnings! Congrats to Bancroft for their 125 years and thanks for allowing a couple of guys from Beemer (Conrad & Bret) to help rock the night away.
Not only do we have some pictures, but be sure to check out 3 videos from the show:

Show Report: Pender, NE, Divots Summer Concert Series & Homer, NE
What a weekend! We had the pleasure of playing in Pender, NE and Homer, NE on Friday and Saturday nights and we also opened the Divots Summer Outdoor Concert Series featuring Heart & Eddie Money in Norfolk, NE on Saturday afternoon.
It was a weekend to remember with great crowds at each show and of course a special opportunity to open the Divots concert. Be sure to take a look at the videos from that show.
We captured some good pictures from all the shows:
Pender, NE street dance
Divots Summer Outdoor Concert Series

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the shows – you really helped kick-off our summer schedule the right way!
