About Me

all three of us have been making music seperately and together for quite sometime. we have more or less the same ideas and vision of what we want to create. basically we are all on the same page and having a ton of laughs along the way.
keep DIY alive!

the name Hawkes derives from the author John Hawkes. his starkly beautiful writing style is incredibly expressive. you can check out many of his novels through New Directions Publishing.
