now that the lowest of the low have completed there album and they had the same producer as the hip AND there from canada wouldn't that be a great double bill. i'm catching ron hawkins next week in williamsville, ny.
wishful thinking never killed anyone...........right?? cratch:

I once watched the Hawk play a stunning version of 'O Canada' on his guitar at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. The guy just does everything well... and holy gawd does he have road stories...

[gibbytime39]

the lowest of the low call buffalo home. they're really big here. i guess the're looking for a new record deal and shopping the new disc. the wait has gone on longer than guns and roses's "chinese democracy." i've caught him solo 2 times and the low about 8.
but they need some new tunes and soon..........
what kind of road stories????? hmmmmm

what kind of road stories????? hmmmmm

There was a great CBC News Morning (It's kinda like if "Meet The Press" and "NBC Dateline" had a bastard child on public TV) piece on the Hawk a few months ago. He talked about a book he's working on, and regailed host Evan Soloman with a few gems while dropping names like Elvis, Mick Jagger and a number of "high profile beddings" with young ladies across NA.

When Evan asked him jokingly if there was anyone he hadn't "been" with, he just smiled and gave him a "gentlemen never tell" response. The dude really has done it all.

He then told a story about having John and Yoko over to the house after their Bed-In in Montreal. He has reel to reel's of he and the two of them jamming for hours.

Look up "cool" in any Canadian dictionary:

Hey Steve! They're actually talking about the OTHER Ron Hawkins, lead singer/songwriter of the Lowest of the Low. The older Ron (the Hawk) is just as cool though, and obviously much more influential. The Hawk, along with Robbie Robertson, The Band, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young are pretty much the roots of Canadian rock n' roll. Which reminds me, If anyone is interested in learning more about the forefathers of Canadian rock, check out a book called "Before the Gold Rush: Peace, Love and the Dawn of the Canadian Sound". It's basically a companion piece to that other book I'm always mentioning, "Have Not Been the Same: The CanRock Renaissance 1985-1995".

Speaking of the Lowest of the Low, I don't think they've ever played a show with the Hip. I don't think Ron is much of a Hip fan, but who knows?? The Low are legendary in Toronto, so I'm sure the Hip have heard of them and know who Ron and boys are. They're one of my all-time favorite Canadian bands, and I'd LOVE to see them do a show or two with Das Hips. Sadly I don't think it'll happen.

Well, son of a bitch. I've never even heard of another "Hawk..." Honestly, shouldn't they have retired the name back in like '65?

Does this other dude even have a beard? He should... really, it's only right.

I agree. As far as I know, Ron "Lowest of the Low" Hawkins has never had a beard. I think he'd look petty cool with one though. I saw the Low play at Barrymore's a couple years back, and Ron was making jokes about how he always gets mistaken for "The Hawk" when he books solo gigs.

[tragicallymike]

1. that acoustic revue next weekend by ron hawkins and friends is gonna be great.
2. Ron has had a beard
3.they've never played together
4.the hip do know about them (see mod club show where he mentions them along with the weakerthans)
5. the lows new record comes out sept 21 on maple music records.

[gibbytime39]

yep.......and you'd figure there paths would have past with there new cd's being produced by steve kasper.
i think the low wouldn't be too keen on opening up for anyone.
i cant believe the release date is that far away. the album is done.
its summer, lets rush it to the public.
