BIRMINGHAM: Kitchen Garden Cafe

SUN 7TH JUL, 2013 8pm (Doors 7.30pm)

I See Hawks in LA is a Californian Country Rock band, the like of which is rarely seen in Kings Heath. Check them out at www.iseehawks.com , look out for “I Fell In Love With The Grateful Dead”, and don’t miss them as they stop by The Kitchen Garden. The reviews say it best, so I’ll leave it to them.

“I See Hawks In L.A. blend country and psychedelia with soaring three-part harmonies that leave the poseurs of alt-schmaltz dust choked. These guys are the house band for a revolution that isn’t over yet.” (High Times)

“. . . the finest country-rock band currently flying the freak flag of freedom, eco-peace, and psychedelic transcendence on planet Earth. Their three- part harmonies are unsurpassed, their lyrics the right proportions of literate and twisted, and Lacques's deft picking ranges from hot-grass to fuzzboxed.” (MOJO).

“A superb ensemble with a serious pedigree in California's roots-rock scene.” (UNCUT)

“They know how to lock into a solid groove and ride it like a bucking bronco, and that’s the hallmark of all great country bands.” (CRAWDADDY)

“Southern California is a land of strange, dangerous and beautiful contrasts. A mountain lion prowls outside the tract home bedroom of a teenage girl while she talks, oblivious to its existence, on her cell phone. A rattlesnake slithers across an empty shopping mall parking lot on a hot summer night while the employees count up the days profit and turn out the lights. While paparazzi chase the latest talent free celebrity, a talented, literate bunch of soulful musicians create honest and wise roots music for the ages. I See Hawks are indeed one of California’s unique treasures.”( Dave Alvin)
