The Killhawks are first and foremost a Texas band. Most people would say we walk the line between rock and country, but we just call it Texas music. And we play it loud.
Wes and Greg used to be in a band called 420 Blues, but any other information we could give away would get us killed.
Joe was once in a band called Lap Dog, but has since used his powers for good instead of evil by becoming a top notch chef.
Next up is Alex Maples, known far and wide for his drumming with Spitfire Tumbleweeds, Curvette, Zest of Yore, Jetscreamer, Starhead and his weekly gig at Dan's with Paul Slavens. When he has time he's gonna take over the world, so let's see if we can keep him busy...
