Lothar and the Hand People was a late-1960s psychedelic rock band known for its spacey music and pioneering use of the theremin and Moog modular synthesizer. The band was notable for being "the first rockers to tour and record using synthesizers, thereby inspiring the generation of electronic music-makers who immediately followed them." Formed in Denver in 1965, Lothar and the Hand People relocated to New York in 1966. The band played gigs with groups such as The Byrds, Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, The Lovin' Spoonful and Chambers Brothers; the band jammed with Jimi Hendrix. Lothar and the Hand People played music for Sam Shepard's play The Unseen Hand, and was the opening act at the Atlantic City Pop Festival. Capitol Records released two albums by this short-lived band: "Presenting … Lothar & the Hand People" (1968, produced by Robert Margouleff) and "Space Hymn" (1969, produced by Nick Venet). A Rolling Stone review described Lothar and the Hand People's music: "It is electronic country, a kind of good-time music played by mad dwarfs, and it is really good to listen to. There is no tension here, no jarring forces at war with each other. It may be strange that New York, the city which deifies speed and insanity, could produce this music, but it is as if Lothar and the Hand People have gone through this madness and come out on the other side, smiling." The band's most popular recording was the title song "Space Hymn." In 1997, The Chemical Brothers sampled the Lothar song "It Comes on Anyhow" in "It Doesn't Matter" on their album Dig Your Own Hole. A music video for Space Hymn screened in 2004 at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival and the ION International Animation, Games, and Short Film Festival, Los Angeles. The band's unusual appellation refers to a theremin nicknamed "Lothar" with the "Hand People" being the musicians in the band. Lothar and the Hand People was the source for a Saturday Night Live skit called "Lothar of the Hill People" and a Boston-area theremin band named The Lothars. Read more on Last.fm.
