Hands Like Houses - Road To Big ‘Piney
Hands Like Houses brought their Road to the Big ‘Piney Tour to Mo’s Desert Clubhouse on Thursday night, fresh off a huge European tour and celebrating the release of their new album ‘Atmospherics’. The venue was packed, buzzing with fans eager to experience this next chapter of the band live.
Total Buzkill kicked things off with a burst of energy and sharp punk attitude. Their track 'Dopamine' from their 2025 release 'The Start of Something Beautiful' got the crowd moving straight away, setting the tone for a night full of high energy and good vibes.
Rinser followed with a heavier, darker edge, immediately drawing the crowd in. Songs like 'Son of a Rising Son', 'Living Dead', and 'Stale' showcased the band’s intensity and emotional depth. Each track landed hard, pulling the audience further into their sound. By the end of their set, the energy in the room was electric and everyone was ready for Hands Like Houses.
Hands Like Houses hit the stage and opened with 'Wildfire' instantly lighting up the room. They powered through fan favourites like 'Division Symbols' and 'Colourblind' with the crowd singing along to every word.
Midway through the set, Josh slowed things down with a stripped back version of 'Wicked Game' by Chris Isaak. It was a powerful, intimate moment that gave the rest of the band a chance to catch their breath while the audience soaked in the emotion.
Once the energy returned, 'Paradise' and 'ICU' sent the room into overdrive. Josh climbed into the crowd, surrounded by fans singing back every word. A raw, unforgettable moment that only a small venue like Mo’s can deliver.
The band closed the night with 'I Am' and 'Heaven' leaving the room buzzing long after the final note. Hands Like Houses proved they’re stronger than ever and still delivering nights their fans will never forget.
Thanks to Hands Like Houses, Total Buzzkill, Rinser and Mo’s Desert Clubhouse for having us along.
