Christmastastic!

Christmas is 2 days away, and I am pumped. I've been listening to Christmas music since before Thanksgiving (sorry!), and I am ready. Well, I haven't bought any presents yet. But mentally and physically I am prepared for this holiday. I've been working out, and I can now finish almost 2 entire canned hams and 3 fruitcakes in one sitting.
We have a Christmas song, but unfortunately we've been too busy to actually finish it and record it. Our bad. It'll be finished and released way before next Christmas, though, so don't lose any sleep over it. As a sneak peak, I'll tell you that it is called "Warmest Holiday Wishes (To You and Your Abominable Heart)". So let your mind conjure up whatever you think that song might sound like.
Coming up in 2010 we have the following: a new EP (!), new merch, a new album (!!), and many shows. No we're not kidding. In the meantime, here's a bounty of Christmas and other holiday treats to entertain you while you get down to holiday business (whichever holiday may be your fave). Enjoy! Click "read more" to get your presents!
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.
Update!

Howdy!
We have been super lazy since our Philly/NYC adventure last weekend. We haven't practiced, and we haven't really done anything at all.
I am working on a video blog that pretty much sums up our trip. I would look for that within the next few days. I'll post it right here!
We did get t-shirts and buttons in last week. We are hopefully going to set up an online store so the masses can purchase the shirts. I don't think we have a price set for the items, but we will let you all know when we reach an agreement. We have regular t-shirts and women's cut shirts. Both types of shirts are sweatshop free and pretty awesome.
While we were being lazy we managed to book some shows, which we have posted in the show section of the website. We're also trying to book some fun acoustic shows at the area Hot Topics, because we love hanging out with everyone.
Uhh... fun fact: Eric loves the Black Eyed Peas song entitled, "I Gotta Feelin'" or something along those lings.
Love,
Jill
P.s. Thank you to anyone who saw us in Philly or Brooklyn! We had a great time!
Hello Hawk does Philly and NYC! Hello Hawk makes t-shirts too!

Hola amigos,
I just wanted to let you all know of our upcoming adventure to The City of Brotherly Love and to The Big Apple (Philadelphia and New York City).
On Friday we are playing in Philly at Doc Watson's Pub with an extremely eclectic bunch of bands (including a hip-hop band and and acoustic singer-songwriter). It should make for an awesome evening.
Howdy guys and gals!

Howdy everyone!
I decided I should probably try to figure out how to update this website, so I figured that I would start by posting a blog. :]
Things have been pretty awesome for us Hello Hawkians. We've been playing bunches of shows, working on new songs, and getting some merch designed.
This weekend is the first weekend in quite some time that we haven't had any type of "band" stuff going on, and to be completely honest with you, I am super bored.
To try and spare myself from complete boredom, I watched a "Wife Swap" marathon this afternoon on "Lifetime."
I have pretty much decided that "Wife Swap" is probably the suckiest reality show that someone could be on. I mean, what can be worse than a crazy mom who dresses up in Medieval clothing, who is a total flake, coming into your home and making you eat parsnip stew? Pretty much nothing except for someone (or something) pooping on your head.
Also, fun fact: I have had Chipotle 3 days in a row... and 2 days it was free.
Stay Classy!
