Last we heard from A Hawk And A Hacksaw, they were talking up their new album on The Leaf Label, Délivrance. Now the duo is taking the news one step further and have announced a North American tour in support of the new record, which was released on August 25, and is described by me as “very good and entertaining and if you like Beirut or Eastern Europe you should listen to it.”
The band also recently completed an extensive European tour, as well as supporting slots for Wilco and Andrew Bird and a handful of shows at SXSW. It is being reported that at these shows the audience members were reportedly “entertained” and “pleased.”
Besides the new tour and the new album, AHAAH have also made live videos for tracks “I Am Not A Gambling Man” and “The Man Who Sold His Beard,” directed by John Longmire and shot in the band’s home of New Mexico. Check the videos here.
