The Calbakes

About Me

The Calbakes emerged from the garage with a reckless sound brought together by the hard-hitting Frank Lewis and the quintessential frontman Rob Hankosky. The band is compared to Bad Religion, The Supersuckers, and The Clash.
The lineup, over the years, has seen some turnover with lead guitar and bass but Rob and Frank kept the band together, eventually landing a deal with Triggerfish Music out of Germany. The Calbakes played SXSW in '96,'97,'98,'99,2002,& 2004 all unsolicited, and enjoyed extensive radio play with the release of their EP "Stumblin' Out of the Garage". In 2003, The Calbakes released the full-length CD "Lone Star Licks".
With Steve Rocker (lead guitar) and Tom Wiley (bass) in their current lineup, they can been seen rocking the venues of Southwest Texas entertaining crowds at Sam's Burger Joint, Patsy's Icehouse, The White Rabbit, The Lounge, and anywhere else someone asks them to play.
