The Hawk was a progressive rock band formed by members of the SuperEighteen, Carpet, and the Rabid Vinyl Monks. Their sound pulled influences from all kinds of rock music but some notable comparisons were made to YES, Fugazi, At the Drive In, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Their live performances were pretty much half hour long jam sessions filled with fog, red fog lights, red sirens, and strobes. Their existence reinvigorated the chicago indie scene they all grew up loving. The Hawk stopped performing as a band but all of the members continue to pursue their creative efforts. Tyler and Jeff went on to form Werewolves, and Jeff still performs with Lovely Little Girls and in another band with fellow hawk member Beavo, as Hot Garbage. Beavo also occasionally performs with Joan Cusack. Jopa continued to perform with the Rabid Vinyl Monks and still hits the stage whenever he can. Adam continues to perform a solo act as Utah Flaskow and his brother Todd destroys audio and video conventions with too many different projects to list.
