But before that there´s two Hawk solo gigs: on Radio P4 Sjuhärad today at 11 am GMT +1 and tomorrow at Club Divine Intervention in Borås.

Record Store Day Special – vinyl 7″ release

Record Store Day, Saturday April 18, we release our first 7″ vinyl – hand numbered limited edition in 200 copies: Riding with Elvis/I want you back.

The vinyl single can be purchased at our Record Store Day gigs (and later gigs as well as long as the stock lasts). After Record Store Day it can also be purchased via the shops where we´re playing at on that day: The Beat Goes On and Pet Sounds, as well as via Hot Stuff Mailorder + you could alway buy it straight from us – more info on how will come soon.
