I SEE HAWKS IN L.A AND NEW DIRECTIONS SPUN FROM STRANGE TIMES: AN INTERVIEW WITH PAUL LACQUES

I See Hawks in L.A. are Southern California’s leading alt country/Americana/folk-rock band. Noted for their lyrical celebrations of earth and ecosphere, odes to the endless highway, and wry social commentary, they’ve gathered a loyal and global tribe from many U.S. and Europe/U.K. tours, consistently rave reviews from critics, and a serious presence in the Top 10 of the Freeform American Roots chart, the Americana Chart, and the Euro Americana chart.
The Hawks were formally spoken into existence in 1999 by Rob Waller and brothers Paul and Anthony Lacques during a philosophical discussion and rock-throwing session on an East Mojave desert trek.
The miles and songs have launched a never-ending musical dialogue with the planet and its strange inhabitants, and brought the Hawks into concert or recording collaborations with Chris Hillman, Lucinda Williams, Dave Alvin, Old 97s, The Mavericks, Peter Case, Gabe Witcher, Bernie Leadon, Meat Puppets, Rick Shea, Lucinda Williams, Dave Alvin, Red Meat, Tindersticks, Justin Townes Earle, and Ray Wylie Hubbard.
ISHILA have headlined at McCabe’s, Old Town School of Folk Music Chicago, Slims (RIP), Joe’s Pub NYC, House of Blues, and Grand Performances (L.A.), where in 2019 they were honored to be house band for a night of global protest songs, as well as other top national venues.
“For 17 years and eight albums, the Hawks have expressed ecological concerns, irreverent wit and oft-psychedelic perspective in unequaled and distinctly American music--sort of a rural Steely Dan. The house band for the hippy diaspora deliver another gem. The finest country rock band on the planet.” -Michael Simmons, MOJO (Top Ten Americana 2018, MOJO)
“One of California’s unique treasures.” - Dave Alvin
"I See Hawks In L.A. delivers more timeless twang."- Randall Roberts, L.A. Times
