Michael Chandler of the Raunch Hands at The Palladium.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My first exposure to The Raunch Hands came at club\u00a0directly across Roseland Ballroom on 52nd St called 240 West. As\u00a0the show was sparsely-attended, it was not a surprise to find out that\u00a0the club closed soon afterwards (eventually finding \u00a0a new life\u2014albeit briefly\u2014as the Lone Star Cafe Roadhouse.)<\/p>\n

However\u00a0on that night, the main attraction was a brash punk-y roots-y\u00a0band that truly exemplified the term Rhythm and Booze. While the “cowpunk” genre was already on its way out, what made this band stand out was\u00a0the\u00a0howling, skinny, lead singer. The band was rough, and sloppy with an intense energy that burned. Upon inquiring,\u00a0I found out that this\u00a0was actually the bands first performance and that singer, Michael Chandler, was formerly a member of the famed Outta Place. That night began what was to become many a night spent catching this amazing group.<\/p>\n

Through the years as Chandler\u00a0went through different projects,\u00a0he always remained humble, charming and a great person. The guy seemed invincible. Well, unfortunately that was not to be the case. Last year Mike was diagnosed with a rare form of\u00a0neck cancer that necessitated aggressive treatment. Needless to say expenses mounted up. Which brings me to the point of this post.<\/p>\n

If the music of Michael Chandler and the Raunch Hands, or Outta Place ever meant anything to you. Then, its your time to give back. Please\u00a0visit Mike’s GoFundMe page and say thank you. Thank you for the smiles, the fun and the great times that his performances always accompanied.<\/p>\n
