Speaker 3: I love that. That is nine miles High. The band
is Howling Hawk, and uh, let's see who we have
from the band on the line with us a via WhatsApp. Hello,
welcome to the show. Hi, thanks for having me absolutely
So who is this? Who do we have on the
line with us?
Speaker 1: So this is Jim. I'm the singer, the bassist, and
I write the chunes outstanding.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you're a singing bassist because I am
also a bass player. And uh, I don't feel that
we get enough time out in front.
Speaker 1: You know, we're dying breed. You lead guitarist at ten
a penny, but a good bass players worth his.
Speaker 3: Weight and exactly, I completely agree. And i love that
track nine Miles High. And I'm really curious to ask
you now, did you write the lyrics to that?
Speaker 1: Of course?
Speaker 3: Of course, all right, tell me about tell me about
these lyrics because very very interesting and uh, I really
want to dive into this. I'm excited to talk to
you about the song.
Speaker 1: A friend of mine went through a phase where he
spent a little bit too much time enjoying medicinal herbs
and listening to his Twitter feed, and he began he
was getting increasingly paranoid every time a helicopter went over
here coming to look for him. Oh wow, you know,
close to making Tim Foyle hats So there's about having
a friend who's going down that dangerous rabbit hole and
trying to pull him back from the brink. Yeah, that's
the vibe. I don't know how much of that comes across,
but that's what I was going for.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, that's interesting because I think that that I don't know,
I don't know what kind of feedback you've gotten on this,
but to me, that seems highly relatable because I think,
and I can tell you here in America, you know,
there's there's a conspiracy theorism and all that stuff is rampant,
and there are a lot of people who who there
are a lot of people who don't need any any
anything to help them get there. They just they just
somehow managed to get there on their own. And it's frightening.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people over here who have just
been waiting for confirmation of a lot of what you
It's it's so difficult now reading the news every single
day and having these little nudges that maybe the conspiracy
theories were true. I got all excited about eighteen months
ago when there are a bunch of expressidents talking about aliens.
That sounded kind of fun, but it's taking a bit
of a dark turn. Sit then.
Speaker 3: It has it has, So I mean, what kind of
feedback have you gotten on the song? Do you find
that other people can also really kind of relate to this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, people seem to like it. It's a lot of
what we play is very deliberately like nineties focused, big choruses, britpop,
and this is the one where we've gone a little
bit a little more X files. Yeah, and people seem
to appreciate it, So maybe that will be a direction
we've tried to do. We've got a release plan for
this year. We've got to put a song out every month. Okay,
so we've got our next single is out next Friday,
which is a very different vibe. But I think for
the next few after that we're going to go back
to the back to the well for some weird stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh cool? What is that kind of your So
you're going to be releasing a single every month? Is that?
Is that the long term strategy? Are you going to do?
You have any plans to do an EP or an album?
You know? We we live in a time where there's
so many different strategies for releasing music, so I'm curious
or maybe these singles will eventually coalesce into an album
or what one's kind of the long term strategy.
Speaker 1: Well, probably every now and again, collect stuff together into
a into a whatever feels best, So like collect them
together by vibe. Yeah, we've got a CD. We've got
a CD with putting out Next Friday, which is the
most recent three songs that we've recorded. Not that we
plan to do them like that, but they just they
fit quite together. We're doing one single a month because
it's just so hard to get anything out and through
the noise since we since we started playing together that
there's been just this explosion of AI created dross. So
it's apparently Spotify. I'm not a big fan of the
fact that Spotify exists, but to be fair to them,
if they're having to deal with one hundred and fifty
thousand AI songs uploaded every day, oh yeah, it's how
do you get through that? It's because of people like
it's going to be people like you that help bands
fight through the noise. So thank you for what you're doing.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I appreciate that Yeah, you know, we're doing
what we can. But we actually did a segment on
that recently about Spotify and how how they've they've begun
to delete a lot of AI generated music. Of course,
the tricky thing there is too, I always say this,
some people are going to get There are legitimate artists
who are going to get caught in that as well.
And that's a tricky thing too, because on one hand, Okay,
you want to delete all this AI generated stuff, that's good.
But at the same time, there are artists who maybe
there's there's something in their music that flags gets the
attention of the bot that is going through all this. Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 1: And there are only so many beats that you can play, right,
I think that the solution might I'm sure your listeners
know of a noh band camp?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh, I love band camp.
Speaker 1: Which is which is a great idea. The trouble with
band camp, I think, is that ninety percent of the
people use it a musician selling their own music. It
hasn't really got like mainstream traction. If there was a
way of pushing people towards that, or if Spotify could
do a at a button to buy a song, if
you like it enough for whatever pennies you know, yeah whatever,
that'd be a game changer. But until then, it's just
a case of trying to get your music in front
of people however you can. I'm so grateful if you're
playing these songs to people who otherwise I'd have no
way of reaching. I'm so grateful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we're like I said, We're glad to do it.
And I do love that song. I'm curious about you know,
you mentioned britt Pop and what that song to me?
I mean, I'm a huge Oasis fan and you know,
I job what's that?
Speaker 1: Good job?
Speaker 3: Thank you? Oh Morning Glory is one of my favorite
albums ever. But or no, I'm sorry, I definitely maybe
I'm sorry, but I'm curious about what other you know?
Because you're in where where are you exactly? I'm not
sure your exact location.
Speaker 1: I'm in London. You're in London was the center of
the universe musically until not so long ago. Yeah, you
go back a few years and you couldn't walk down
the street without bumping into someone work. I mean, I
talk about Oasis. I bumped into an old Gallagher in
a supermarket here. Oh no, getting like just ambushed him
while he was trying to buy his butter, and he
was a lovely man. Lovely man, and he's very like that.
That used to be pretty standard around here. Amy Winehouse
brought me lunch at breakfast with Black Sabbath. I've got
photo evidence of a lot of that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Now, it's just there's been such a what's the word,
a fragmentation of that industry that it's just hard for
any of those little ecosystems to sustain themselves. Sure, there's there,
there are a couple of new bands getting through. There's
a few. There's a band called Westside Cowboy that are
breaking through that sound pretty good like a traditional guitar band.
Speaker 3: Interesting, so in terms of.
Speaker 1: Like, we we love the britpop thing because we what
we really love is choruses. Man, people bands now seem
to be sort of embarrassed about writing choruses. The look
so moody. Why do you The guitar is meant to
make you feel good? That's the point at the end,
at the end of a gig. If if you've got
a bunch of people who have only seen you for
the first time, yeah, I don't think nine out of
ten of them are going to walk away remembering your lyrics,
but remember.
Speaker 3: Make them feel exactly.
Speaker 1: That's it man, aim for aim for the joy exactly.
Speaker 3: No, I agree, I agree. Is there is there like
a pressure coming from there in terms of, you know,
being being a band from from London? Well actually though,
well interestingly, so you're in London, but not all the
band members are correct.
Speaker 1: Oh they're all in London now they are?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so we're we all live Oh good, okay, okay, so.
Speaker 1: Now we're a real like in person band. Oh good,
and we yea and we so the guitarist one of them, Parlo.
He's Italian, as you can guess from Yeah, Gonzalo is
Gonzalo is Chilean.
Speaker 3: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: But all we came together with the It was all
we found each other online and came together for the
love of the same music.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean you can tell what music we like from
listening to ourselves. We're on ours leaves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, So is there a pressure like being a
London band in terms of just I mean, you mentioned
trying to cut through the noise. There's that part, but
is there also this thing where, like you said, you know,
it used to be if it's not still or one
of the centers of of the of the musical universe.
Like do people expect you as a band from London
to is there a certain expectation there or or a
certain expectation in terms of your sound or I really can't.
Speaker 1: I mean we're just so blessed to be from London. Yeah,
it just carries a certain a certain weight I think.
Like this is the venue that we're playing next Saturday
is called the Troubadour. Oh yes, any I mean that's
it's the last surviving sixties venue. We'll be playing on
the same stage that who Jimmy Hendrix, Rolling Stones used
to play on, And that's the It's just an ordinary venue.
It's not like a museum. So yeah, we're really spoilt
like that, and just the I mean I half joke
about bumping into people, but you really can find amazing people.
The guy that the song you just played was recorded
for as by a guy called Paul Tipler, who was
a lovely man and he runs a little studio in London.
He charges next to nothing for it and he's put out.
He's produced Doctor Feel Good. He did the first recordings
by Placebo. Like he's there are just these people around,
like there's a really nice I've never met anyone who
wants to do anyone down in music. I haven't everyone
everyone's been lovely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that might be.
Speaker 1: I do love London, but there is something magic about
it now.
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 3: Unit thirteen? Is that where you recorded that?
Speaker 19: It is?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, great, great sound. You know obviously it came
out really well. Have you recorded the previous singles that
you've released or are releasing? Are those all recorded there
as well?
Speaker 1: So we did a song called The Downside that came
out I think earlier this year with him and the
next the next song, Delilah, is that next Friday. I'll
send it to you after after this chat to enjoy
a few if you're interested.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what what what song is it?
Speaker 1: It's called Delilah?
Speaker 3: Oh, Delilah? Okay, okay, and I do have you also
sent us Ramona, which I'm going to play at the
end of our our conversation. That's a great song too.
I really like that.
Speaker 1: A lot that was that was produced by a friend
of ours called Cucko, who runs Damon Albarn's studio, which
is also called thirteen Studios.
Speaker 3: I guess it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's there's a magic there, right.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's excellent. So in terms of writing, you know,
obviously you mentioned Nine Miles High. You wrote the lyrics.
I assume did you also write the music to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I tend to come in with just really
basic towards and a melody and but my voice won't change.
But I tried to give the rest of the band
as much space as they as they want to develop it.
Speaker 3: Has it been that way from the beginning with this project.
Speaker 20: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely. It means to feel that I don't want it
to be me and my session band. It has to
be those guys expressing themselves. It's a nice Arctic Monkeys
style riffing that the Power came up with.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, you're right, No, that's yeah, that's cool. And
then I assume what's the live situation, like, are you
doing a lot of shows? You you know, you did
mention the show at the Troubadour coming up. If you've
been playing a lot, because I can imagine I would
assume that in London there's a lot of places to play,
or maybe not, I'm assuming, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are loads of venues. But the audiences for
live bands aren't quite what they used to be. I'm
from Camden, which is I mean, it was the musical hub,
but so many of those venues are closed down now
just because the constant tax and business rates keep keep
going up, which pushes some good people out of business.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: But that said, that said, there are some growing scenes.
There's some wonderful people here. There's Debbe from Cooper Concepts
who's built a fantastic little scene over in West London.
There's a new friend of ours called Johnny. I only
know him as Johnny Middleman. He's a bit secretive. He's
he's putting on the gig at the Trouper Door as
part of what he's trying to develop into a gig
cooperative with the London were a London band and there
are three other bands from other major English cities. So
they're going to come down and see us and then
soon we'll go up and play their places. Because that's,
as I say, being from London, we're so blessed that
it's easy for us to get gigs in London. Yeah
we can, just you know, you get a bus there,
it's not hard. But if you've got to come down
from Manchester or Liverpool. That's that's a.
Speaker 3: Big investment right right now. That's that's excellent. Are are
you playing like pretty consistently or what's what's the what's
the schedule?
Speaker 1: As much as we can, we've got to we play
a lot to each other. We've got to shared that
we're always playing it. Yeah, but in terms of like
we're trying to play one London Giga month and then
get out of London to play other places.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really curious what the name Howling Hawk means.
I'm sure you get this question all the time, but uh,
I like the name, but I'm curious what it means.
Speaker 1: It's just Howling Wolf was taken. That's about it one
time ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that the best, the best rock and roll
band name ever is the Rolling Stones for me, okay,
And we were trying to come up with something in
the same bluesy vein and just something about that. Howling
stuck and we went through it to try and find
you've got Arctic monkeys. We didn't want it to be
ridiculous like hawling penguin. Certain edge to it.
Speaker 3: No, I like it. I like it. Did you did
the name come easily or did you have to go
through some to find one that you agree on?
Speaker 1: God? No, I've had so many, so many, terror all
terrible names.
Speaker 3: Okay, I love I love hearing about rejected band names.
Give me, give me what you got. I love this.
Speaker 1: The lema was floated around for a while, really, as
in the monkey, the little furry thing, that something exotic
and cool?
Speaker 3: What was it gonna be? Howleen lemur or just uh
see if.
Speaker 1: We'd have had you? We we went through a phase
of just adding colors, two different nouns as well, Okay, red,
the red seven, you know, the blue whatever the blue.
But yeah, harling Hawk has done quite well. It looks
pretty good on a T shirt as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. No, it's a cool name.
Although the red seven is kind of cool. I wonder,
I wonder if anyone else has taken that. I do
like that, But I think, excuse me, I think, no,
Hawlleen Hawk is a great name. And what how long
has this project existed?
Speaker 6: When?
Speaker 3: When? When? Roughly did you start this?
Speaker 21: Well?
Speaker 1: I met the guitarist Reese, the guitarist Gunzalo and Parlo
about two years back. Okay, and we've had a series
of different drummers for different reasons too. We met We
met Reese in about the summer of last year. Okay,
so probably since then. This feels like the band at
the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is a relatively new project then in
the grand scheme of things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so if everything's we're still learning how to
do everything really.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's interesting too that you mentioned about drummers. It
sounds like you've been through a few. I don't know
if it's the same there, but I can tell you
here every drummer I know is in just multiple projects
because there's only you know, we we talked at the
beginning about how bass players are, you know, harder to find.
Drummers are like impossible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I only played the bass because I
couldn't find a bassis. So yeah, I've got two guitarists
and bought bass instead. But this this drummer, now, Reese,
aside from being a talented drummer, he sings as well. Yeah,
so it's been leaning into that to try and build
up that Lennon and McCartney vocal vibe.
Speaker 18: Right.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculously arrogant, isn't it. How can he jump from
he jumped to Lennon and McCartney. Yeah, yeah, far more,
far more average than Lenna McCartney. But we're going to
have multiple voices from now so that should be fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think that's excellent. So so the show
at the Troubadour is on the twenty eighth, so that's
a big deal. Who do you want to mention? Who
else is on that show with you? You guys are
the headliners? Correct, Yeah, we are, and.
Speaker 1: They're they're only I think a few. It's like a
handful of tickets left now, which is really eating because
it's being filmed and recorded as well. Excellent to put
out live at the Troubadour EP later in the year.
Speaker 3: Oh, very cool.
Speaker 1: So the other bands we've got, uh is a band
called and the Mama's Boys.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1: There's a band called black Manas okay, well, and they're
they're really good. Some of their stuff sounds a bit
like they're from Manchester, so if you imagine LCD sound
system but with a thick Manchester.
Speaker 3: Accent, okay, okay, interesting.
Speaker 1: And there's another band called Brides who are really cool okay,
and they'll be grateful for that. Shout out.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no doubt, no doubt, that's great. And then
so what's what's the next thing after that? Because I know, well, well,
actually let me ask it this way. When does the
or maybe it's already started. You said, you know you
guys are going to do one single a month, So
is that is that cycle already begun? As far as
I know, nine Miles High is new?
Speaker 18: Right?
Speaker 3: What is that about this month or last month?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that came out. We're trying to put us
somewhere on the last day I think or near enough. Okay,
that's been out for two three weeks now and we've
been it's it's been great. How many hangs that we've
been stuck in a little London bubble for a while,
and so so we're really grateful for the people who
are seeing us and hearing us. A lot of the
time it's the same people. So to get the music
out and heard in other strange and interesting places, it's
really fun, Like you get messages from interesting places. So
we're trying to get some airplay in places that we
wouldn't normally go. The next song, we've got a few
conversations like this booked in with places in Italy and Chile,
and then we'd like to get maybe go out abroad
somewhere and play.
Speaker 3: Well that's kind of a that's kind of an interesting
advantage too. Where where you've you've got in terms of
the members of the band, there's some diversity there in
terms of where they're from originally, so it kind of
gives you it kind of gives you an in uh
in some places that you wouldn't otherwise have. So that's
pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've we've had some some radio play in with
indie blocks in Brazil and Argentina, Okay, but we haven't
had any interviews or any proper conversations yet. Yeah, so
we'd like to build some relationships with that. That's a
big part of what we do. This is just meeting
people with the same interests, who like the same things.
You know. We want to make friends, yeah, and share
those those joyful moments.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, that's how you build a fan base.
So no, I think you're I think you're on a
great trajectory. Like I said, I listened to UH. I
listened to a bunch of the songs, you know, because
we did Mention band camp, So I was listening to Uh, obviously,
I love nine Miles High. I was listening to some
of the other tracks on band camp. The great thing
about band camp too, is and because I mentioned this,
every opportunity I get, because a lot of people don't
realize this, you get a higher quality file on band
camp than you do if you're just say you're just
streaming it on YouTube or something like that. So I'm
a big I'm a big proponent of band camp. I
think that's the best place to listen to that to
listen to music personally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tried, is it? Title?
Speaker 3: Tried title?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was okay. And there's one I think called
Coba's or quobas qob u z And it's really really
noticeable that the leap in audio quality. I think there's
a whole the whole generation of people now who have
only ever used Spotify and YouTube, who've never had the
chance to listen to Dark Side of the Moon or
Sergeant Pepper on vinyl through nice speakers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they are, they are missing out. Nothing sounds
better than vinyl. I love the warmth of vinyl. What
so are are? Do you guys have any plans to
release any physical media or is everything digital because I
can tell you that here in the US, CDs not
that they ever went away, but it seems like over
the last five or six years have have sort of
made a comeback in the sense that a lot of
independent artists here really like to have physical media. But
I've also noticed when I talk to artists from the UK,
it seems a little different there. It seems like, uh
like maybe you've all just kind of left that in
the past. I don't know, though, I'm curious what your
perspective is on that.
Speaker 1: I think I think people are naturally inclined to want
artifacts that commemorate the things that they love. Yes, like
I've I've got you, and I have got access to
YouTube for free. We could listen to any song that's
ever been released without spending a penny. But they've still
got that drive in me to buy the latest vital
by my favorite band. Yes, if I reissues and I
find that people want people buy CDs from us, then
they'll they'll never play them, They'll listen to us in
other ways anyway. Right, I want to have something that
shows that they've they've built that connection. So yeah, absolutely,
we're starting to move into physical media. Excellent there's been
a weird push for old style cassettes, you know, like
the old Walkman where that's come from people. I think
that just looks really cool when you put on a shelf. Yeah,
might be that. I would love to get some vinyl going,
but it's just it's just not realistic.
Speaker 3: It's very expensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There have you heard of Third Man Records?
Speaker 3: That sounds familiar to me. I'm not sure that.
Speaker 1: So Jack White, the white striped Jack White, Yeah, really
really cool guy is pushing for greater accessibility for vinyl. Oh, okay,
he's opened a he's got a store in Nashville, I know,
but he's opened up another one in London, not far
from where I'm sitting now. And at the back is
a nineteen fifties straight to wax recording booth. Oh, you
can go in and record records straight onto vinyl, but
it's broken. They go in there once a week to
see if they've had it repaired. I'm praying that by
the end of this year I've.
Speaker 3: Got something on vinyl that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Here in the US, it was either twenty two or
twenty three was the first year, or maybe it was
twenty four. It all becomes a blur. But the first
year that vinyl actually outsold CDs for the first time
since CDs became the you know, the primary medium for music.
So yeah, love love the sound of vinyl, and people
give me vinyl records sometimes. You know, some of the
guests that we have on the show that are here
in person, and you know, I don't. I don't even
have a record player at home. We do have one
here in the station. I don't have one at home,
but it's just cool to have it, you know, and
it looks good on the wall, and you know, love vinyl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean someone it might have been
Warren Zevon was talking about books. He said that we
buy books not necessarily to buy them, but because we
feel richer having them around. And I think having vinyls
is the same thing. I love that vinyls have also
brought back a new found love for art and for
cover art. Yes, it means people are displaying these things
in our homes.
Speaker 3: That's a great point. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Well, Jim, in
a moment, we're gonna we'll hit that track Ramona. This
is another great song and I really like this a lot.
But before we do that, and you know, we'll we'll
let you go in a moment when we do that.
But where is the best place to go? Where should
people go online to keep up with everything that Howling
Hawk is doing.
Speaker 1: We're we're most active on Instagram, but you can follow
us wherever you like if you go to harling hawk
dot com. Okay, we want to speak to me and
say hello and maybe you'll send you a present, and
just go to go to the Instagram.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's easy. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. It seems like Instagram
is really becoming in terms of social media, kind of
the main hub now for a lot of artists, which
is which is interesting.
Speaker 1: It's amazing the people that you find on that. I
was talking the other day to Gordon Raphael. You recorded
the first two Strokes albums. Yeah, shutting away on Instagram.
It's what Twitter should have been. Yeah, I love it.

Twitter should have been. Yeah, that ship is saled. Well,

also kind of be your your conduit into the American
radio market here because thank you so much. Absolutely absolutely,
because we really love what you're doing. Anything we should
know about this song, Ramona, I think you said in
the email, this is one of your favorites.
Speaker 1: It is. It's absolute nonsense. It's like John Lennon Stall Doggrel.
I read about how David Bowie wrote some of his
songs by just writing. He collected up newspapers and cut
the lines out and then rearrange them like a like
a weird jigsaw, and it it's just that.
Speaker 3: So okay.
Speaker 1: I like the idea that that sort of fate might
lead it to a meaning for someone who's listening, but
for us, it's just fun.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, no, I like that. So we'll share this
with everybody, and I'm gonna hit that track, but Jim,
we will let you go. Jim from of course Howling Hawk.
Thank you so much. And like I said, you know,
bass players unite, and I really appreciate you joining us
today and I look forward to the next time we
get to speak.
