The band who have been touring extensively throughout Europe, Australia and Japan fly into New Zealand for a brief jaunt to attend the NZ Music Awards and play an intimate MySpace Secret Show at an undisclosed venue to a handful of lucky MySpace users.

In 2007 the band signed to the prestigious 679 record label in the UK and their first single ‘Oh Girl’ hit #1 on the UK’s influential NME chart. After notable tours and EP releases the band are now ready to release their debut album ‘You and I’ in New Zealand on October 6th. Fans will be able to hear first hand songs from the debut album at this MySpace Secret Show and receive exclusive hand printed posters to commemorate the event.

An exclusive listening session of the album ‘You and I’ will be available from the 26th September on MySpace from the bands profile www.myspace.com/cutoffyourhands more than one week ahead of release.

MySpace Secret Shows are exclusive, FREE concerts held throughout New Zealand featuring some of the biggest Kiwi artists. The only way MySpace users can find out specific details about this and future concerts is by adding Secret Shows as a ‘friend’ to their profile via www.myspace.com/secretshowsnz.

The Shaky Hands forced to change their name

Due to legal pressures from a U.S band of the same name, The Shaky Hands are changing their name.

Says frontman Nick Johnson "We were forced to change because there's a band in America already called The Shaky Hands. We knew all along something was going to happen but we didn't expect such drastic measures to be taken. We're disapointed, they weren't open to compromise at all. They wouldn't budge. There are 3 labels in the US looking to put us out, and we're heading over there very shortly for South by Southwest plus some other dates, so we just needed to make a quick decision."

The Shaky Hands will take their new name from their 2006 EP Cut Off Your Hands.
