NEW HAWKS

About Me



New Hawks is an arching, tragi-cosmik song-cycle by Dan Haywood (formerly of "promising" alternative-rockers The Puma-Sutras, and creator of feeble period fantasy 'Dapple').
Wrote the twenty-nine New Hawks (songs) in a month-long burst awhile back. It was a shocker.
Aided by a host of kind, talented musicians, including Therese Standish (strings), Jeff Jefferson and Billy Myall (rack)- New Hawks are now being brought to a venue near you. and, scratching and screeching, into the stoooodio.
First record is Dan Haywood's New Hawks EP, (Timbreland via Forte Distribution) out as of October 2007.
Second record will be NEW HAWKS - the whole suite on 3CD/4LP , sometime 2009.
Exciting.
