I first came across Jesse's blog, I Found This Song in the Road while doing a search for "hello hawk." And yes, I Google myself and my band quite a bit... wait, what?
Uh, so anywayz... here's that post about Hello Hawk:

Since I first found his blog, I've been checking in on it every once in a while to see what new band he's posted about. Here are a couple of my favorites so far:
I told Eric I wouldn't post this.

First off, go get our newest downloadable song -- our tender ode to a ridiculous turn of phrase, "Heart of Hearts." a shout out to my homey-G-funk-boyz in Shady Ave. who we played with in DuBois (doo-boyz, not doo-bwah) on Saturday. Good dudes, and we hope to see them again in the near future. Thanks also to American Complex and Born Empty for being cool and to The Fostered for sharing our love of the Get Up Kids. Good times were had.
Other things: We have t-shirts. And they are awesome. And they are sweatshop-free. And they are CHEAP. Come to a show and buy one and make your little sister jealous. Or buy it for her and make her promise not to tell your parents what she saw you and your friends doing on Thursday night.
We're about to put out an EP. More on that when it happens.
Now the important thing I need to discuss with you: Weezer.
Weezer goodness for your downloading pleasure

Toph! here again. We just finished up the mixing on a new song, and we are proud to present to you Hello Hawk's cover of a rare Weezer nugget.
Way back in 1996 Weezer released the album Pinkerton, one of my 3 favorite albums of all time and a fave of both Eric and RegularSteve. "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" is a b-side from the Australian version of "The Good Life" single and one of my favorite Weezer songs. (It's sung by Rachel Haden of The Rentals/that dog./Jimmy Eat World/etc. fame.)
Anyway, enough trivia. Here's the song for you to love: I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams
(Feel free to add it to your mySpace profile and vote for us on thesixtyone.com)
New song (almost), new music!

In the words of Paula Deen, "Hey-yaawwl!" Toph here with a news nugget and some fun links. First off: In the next few days we'll be releasing another new song. It's almost done. In fact, a few songs are almost done, and we'll be releasing them all soon. So keep your earholes peeled.
While you're waiting ever so patiently, you should virtually stroll on over to Quote Unquote Records. Hello Hawk doesn't have any kind of affiliation with them, other than my own personal respect. Every release is digital-only, and you pay only what you want to pay (starting at $0.00 if you're so inclined). It's all kinds of awesome, and you should check it out. I highly recommend releases by Shinobu and Cheeky. I also recommend donating to the bands you like.
That's it for now! Have a good Tuesday!
Toph!
The Feast of Songs

Well, would you look at that... We have a website. We're still working to make it far more awesome, but this is a good start. Other pages are planned and in the works, but none of them are finished. Someday they'll be ready. Someday.
In the meantime, we've got songs. Delicious, tantalizing, free-to-download songs. And soon there will be more. Many more. A cornucopia of songs, really. Before long, hellohawk.com will become a Thanksgiving meal of music, and you can gorge yourself on hot, fresh melodies, tender, juicy guitars, thick and creamy basslines, sweet and tasty synth parts, and satisfyingly succulent drum beats. And just like Pilgrims baking that first pumpkin pie for their friends the Indians, we'll be cooking up our musical sustenance in a spirit of love and friendship and with no intention of killing you and stealing the land you've lived on for hundreds of years. Yep, just like those Pilgrims.
So enjoy all of the music as we put it up (expect a song or two every couple of weeks). You should be able to download it (for free) on this site or listen/download (still free) at mySpace, thesixtyone.com, PureVolume, last.fm, facebook, youtube, virb, and any other digital domain on which we can stake our claim. Also: be on the lookout for t-shirts and stickers and buttons and all of that good stuff. But most of all, COME SEE US AT A SHOW!
Love,
Toph!
