Sunburned Hand of the Man is an experimental band from Massachusetts that formed in 1997 from the remnants of the Boston psychedelic punk trio Shit Spangled Banner. Sunburned Hand of the Man has an amorphous lineup, with composition and instrumentation potentially varying from gig to gig. Their work is improvisational within a structured framework, so no two performances of a piece are identical--they may not even have the same title--but the piece evolves and each version may be seen as a growth from the prior version.
