Hands, a band from Fargo, N.D., headlines a rock 'n' roll show at the Phoenix Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 24.


Also on the bill are We Were Gentleman, In the Midst of Lions and Burn the Ruin. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.

Shane Ochsner, Josh Silbernagel, Chris Schwartz and Jerik Hendrickson collectively are Hands, a Fargo band that combines circling atmospheric guitars punctuated with hard-hitting progressions.

They are a band in which rock 'n' roll meets ambient hardcore and warm silvery singing rivals hardcore screams.

Since forming in 2007, Hands offers a performance that is characterized by what dummer Josh Silbernagel calls "beautiful chaos." Hands unfurls anthemic prog-rock ballads bearing the influence of Isis while at the same time laying out progressive hardcore tracks inspired by bands such as Life In Your Way and Misery Signals.

Tickets to the show are $8.

The Phoenix Theater is located at 201 Washington St. Call 762-3565 or visit www.thephoenixtheater.com.
