From the promoter: When a band's name is Sex With No Hand, you know they mean business. These pioneers of accordion-funk merge Rock, R&B, and Polka into a high-energy dance party of original songs and crowd favorites. SWNH features two amplified accordions and a vintage 80s keytar. Every member of the seven-piece band sings and doubles on horns. Playing a wide range of genres, SWNH performances can last all night. Audiences love the group's stage antics, outlandish costumes, and 15ft. choreographed laser light show. Squeeze It, the band's debut release, highlights the versatility of amplified accordions. Playing the funkiest new music straight from 1979, the songs on Squeeze It evoke the good-time feeling of the era with talkbox solos, digital handclaps, and whispered sweet nothings last heard in the bushes outside your senior prom. SWNH is based in San Francisco and routinely fills the city's venues to capacity. Touring the U.S. since 2007, SWNH is on a mission to push the accordion to its musical limits. With new, physically demanding playing techniques, SWNH plays the party instrument of the Old Country and the party songs of today.
