BAND BIO:
This
is the story behind the chemistry of Freedom
Hawk. It started with T.R. and Mark in 1996, two
guys that had been just playing their
instruments by themselves. They met through a
mutual friend who played music. For years
they just goofed off, jamming with different
drummers, but never got anything together.
T.R. moved to Florida, but they both continued
to play on their own with other musicians.
T.R. moved back in 2000 and had a four track and
they started to record their jams.
They met Lenny through a mutual friend in 2004
who had been in a ton of bands before they met.
Lenny is a pure jam drummer who also clicked.
He was interested in and liked the style of
music they were playing; raw sloppy rock but
they all felt the changes and knew which
direction to go next. They continued for
about a year, when Lenny wanted to put some
structure to the jams and turn them into songs.
T.R. wanted to fatten up the sound and add
another guitarist. They found and played
with a couple of guitarists but it didn't work
out. That's when Mark's brother Matt came
in 2005 and also clicked. Matt was an
awesome lead guitarist, and was musically
trained, which helped them further the sound.
He was the final piece that made the band
complete. They recorded a demo that
tightened up four songs and showed them the way
to tighten up the rest.
The first name they came up with was Down Green
Well, which came from where they practiced.
They played a few shows under that name but the
band didn't want to keep it. T.R. didn't
feel it represented the sound and changed it to
Freedom Hawk without consulting band. It
was supposed to change from Freedom Hawk to
something else but never did.
That's the story, simple jams turned into songs,
powerful with groove, rock and roll from the
soul. |
