Best Country Artist, L.A.Weekly Awards, 2003
"With its new album 'Grapevine,' the evocatively named band I See Hawks In L.A. has secured its place at the head of the city's country-rock and psychedelic cowboy faction."
--Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times
"Celebrating the release of their extraordinary new
Grapevine CD, I See Hawks in L.A. continue to
explore artistic territory few others visit. The driving-force
duo of singer Rob Waller and guitarist Paul
Lacques have cooked up one of the most
audacious sounds the Golden State has ever
produced. Their songs have an air of both
spontaneous immediacy and shrewdly applied
musical craftsmanship so unconventional that
frequently cited precursors the Flying Burrito
Brothers pale to utter irrelevance beneath the
band's high-altitude artistry. A wilder blue yonder."
-- Jonny Whiteside, L.A. Weekly
"Do two great groups constitute a, you know, scene? Along with Beachwood Sparks, the Hawks have updated Southern California country rock. Their music, driven by the fine steel guitarist Paul Lacques, is sinewy yet poetic--more nihilistic than decadent, with an urban-desert poetry all its own."
-- Richard Gehr, Village Voice
I SEE HAWKS IN L.A. feature the spiritous musings of vocalist Robert Rex Waller, Jr.; the classic fiddle and vocals of Brantley Kearns (Dwight Yoakum, Dave Alvin, Hazel Dickens); Paul Marshall (Strawberry Alarm Clock, Hank Thompson, Rose Maddox) bass and vocals; Paul Lacques (Double Naught Spy Car), guitar, steel, dobro and vocals; and Shawn Nourse (Dwight Yoakum, James Intveld), drums.
The band formed on an altered consciousness trek to Cima Dome in East Mojave, when Rob, Paul, and brother Anthony noted how many hawks they'd seen circling over Los Angeles lately. They decided to form a country band to sing about phenomena of nature and follies of humankind.
