About

The Dabhands formed at College in Guildford when singer Katie, waiting at a set of traffic lights, noticed guitarist Ryan wearing a baseball cap and, in Katie's words, "looking like he'd be into RHCP". Correct in her assumption, the pair started writing songs. Drummer Lewis overheard them speaking in class about forming a band. He insisted on being involved along with his bassist friend Liam. The line up was completed in October 2013, and The Dabhands were born. Combining funk/hiphop rhythm elements with huge guitars and impeccably crafted melodic earworms The Dabhands are "having it out" as if Rage Against The Machine were duetting with Fleetwood Mac. The band wasted no time in becoming the new kids in town, building a reputation as a hard working, tight live act, and garnering support slots with Slaves, The Carnabys and The Amazons along the way. The Dabhands are set to release a string of singles on The Animal Farm in 2017. The first single 'Maybe I' is out now and enjoying great support at BBC Radio. The Dabhands are set to perform at summer festivals, including The Great Escape.
