I saw A Hawk And A Hacksaw live last saturday and I think it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. They play as a pair, him playing percussion and accordion at the same time (he has drumsticks taped to different places on his body so he can move his head and hit a hi hat, for example), she mostly plays violin, although she does play bits of melodica and on a tiny xylophone. it feels very.. naked to see them on stage, just the two of them, she mostly watching him while they play. after a while they got up and walked up to us (we were all sitting down - I was sitting front row) and left the drums and just played together - certainly the best part. they would play with eachother, against eachother, he would suddenly drop to the floor and lie on his back, still playing the accordion, she playing the violin while standing over him, looking down (she's quite small). they missed notes, rhythmically they missed several beats, Jeremy sang and his voice was quite unsure (but incredible - when he sang in front of the audience he did so without microphone) but the way they played, the relaxedness, the looseness, it made the whole thing wonderful. they played for 70 minutes and my friend and I were surprised - we hardly noticed time passing. I think half the room fell in love with the violin player. :) |

btw, was the place sold out? this gig im seeing happens in italy so i was wondering whether i'd have to make a reservation for the tickets.. |
||||||||

no, sadly not at all. I talked to the organiser who had picked them up that afternoon from the airport and spent half the day with them. he said they were just the nicest people. that video doesn't do them credit - it's much, MUCH more atmospheric live! |

i like their albums a lot, but i think this is music that was meant to be listened to and performed live. |

oh there's an mp3 of "portland town", my favourite. they played and sang that live too. I never knew it was a cover. |

I saw them a few weeks ago. It was fun, they only did 45 mins or less. Got a bit repetetive after a while; a bit too energetic all the time. Violin lady was quite hot. I love accordians but I don't think folk is particularly my thing, if thats possible. I thought the drumstick strapped to his hat was a gimmick, because it made almost no noise. |

saw them last night and liked it a lot. it wasn't that high on my scale of favourite live shows, but still very very nice. i was surprised they made the songs sound so much alike the ones on album. i mean, there were four people recording those album songs and barnes takes his time with every song, so yeah, definitely a nice surprise that. they only played for about an hour, but the atmosphere was real nice..abooout 30 people attended, but it was a very small club and it just made us all sort of more connected. heather is lovely fo sho! <3 |

its a perfect gimmick, I doubt anyone would describe the show without saying "Yo this dude had a stick on his hat!" |

I would be surprised if anyone talked about it like that. people I know have only mentioned it in passing, amongst other things. the audience that goes to these shoes is tiny, certainly not the kind of people that get impressed by something like that - and like I said, as far as I've heard, he does actually use it. |

it'd be even better if he'd ask someone in the audience to sit behind the drums..i wouldn't. |
