Ten Hands is a rock band based in Denton, Texas, United States. The band consists of:

J. Paul Slavens (keyboards, lead vocals),

Steve Brand (guitar, backing vocals),

Gary Muller (Chapman stick, backing vocals),

Mike Dillon (percussion, backing vocals),

Alan Emert (drums, backing vocals).

Matt Thompson (drums)

Described as a cross between the jazz-rock-art style of Frank Zappa and the psychedelic punk of the Meat Puppets, Ten Hands had a style that was better appreciated live, more so than in the studio. The late 1980s local scene adored them and the Dallas Observer awarded Ten Hands numerous accolades in 1988-1989.

The band play regularly mid 1980s through 1995 and began playing regular show again in 2014. Ten Hands continues to play, with various lineups, several times a year in the Dallas area.
