- Ernie Myers: Electric and acoustic guitars, lead and backing vocals, composer.
- John Fiveash: Drums, Vocals, batterie.

Hands has worked extensively in the progressive rock world, and have worked with progressive icons Ian Wallace (Stevie Nicks, King Crimson, Sting & about a thousand others!) & Adrian Belew (Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson & about a thousand others also)!.
Their recording is currently untitled, look for an anticipated Fall 2004 release - (date is subject to change).
99 names is reviewed by Fred Tafton in the Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock:
99 Names of God - Mark Cook (Warr guitar), Kris Swensen (vocals, keyboards) and Jason Spradlin (V-drums)
"99 Names of God are from the Arlington (near Dallas), Texas area. They started out as a five-piece about seven years ago, but have now leaned down to a three-piece. But their approach has remained the same over the years. Heavily influenced by various media, including avant-garde performance, art idealism and progressive / electronic / experimental music, they create surrealistic moods in the context of each individual piece. One might almost call 99 Names of God ambient music, yet it goes against the grain of this description by demanding to be listened to.
As a reference, I would say their sound contains quite a bit of '80's King Crimson, some Bill Nelson (they contributed to a Nelson tribute album in 2000) and a large dash of '90's "alternative" sound while remaining complex and always interesting. Vocalist Kris Swensen has a clear, melodious voice reminiscent of Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard which sounds ethereal and otherworldly juxtaposed against Mark Cook's contrapunctal Warr guitar and Jason Spradlin's V-drum kit. Kris also plays keyboards. They play the Dallas area club scene frequently, and we've also had the pleasure of hearing them at the GEPR-sponsored Ridglea Theater Progressive Rock Sundays event in Fort Worth. Watching Mark Cook's fingers on the Warr guitar is just amazing, and the music was exceptional.
The band has two albums, Excursions and Interwoven ... They say that Interwoven is the more "prog" of the two, but the cuts I've heard from Excursions are very good too. They have also contributed to several compilation albums. Mark Cook also plays Warr guitar with The Minefield. Kris Swensen also has an electronic/loop based solo project called Bad Little Girls Get Shots."-- Fred Trafton
