QUAKER CITY NIGHT HAWKS is one of the strangest blues rock bands out there. From the first minutes it seems that before you are obsessed with fantasy fans of ZZ TOP, who have become outcasts and escaped into an ominous valley of guitar slides and distorted melodies. Formed in Fort Worth, Texas, and raised on riffs, gospel and Twain novels
These genre-crossing supporters will appeal to fans of Tom Waits, FU MANCHU and even Marilyn Manson .... In short .... their work is based on science fiction and biblical motives, Texas blues, gospel and saten rock
Members of the group:
Vocals / Rhythm Electric Guitar: SAM ANDERSON
Drums: AARON HAYNES
Vocals / Lead Electric Guitar: DAVID MATSLER
QUAKER CITY NIGHT HAWKS – это одна из самых странных команд блюз-рока. С первых минут кажется, что перед вами одержимые фантастикой фанаты ZZ TOP, ставшие изгоями и убежавшие в зловещую долину гитарных слайдов и искаженных мелодий. Сформированные в Форт-Уорт, Техас, и взращенные на риффах, госпеле и романах Твена, эти сторонники пересечения жанровых границ придутся по вкусу любителям Тома Уэйтса, FU MANCHU и даже Мэрилина Мэнсона....Короче говоря....их творчество замешано на научной фантастике и библейских мотивах, техасском блюзе, госпеле и сатерн роке

The last time we heard from the Quaker City Night Hawks, they were traveling the country in support of their Lightning Rod Records debut, El Astronauta, an album that mixed the greasy strut of 1970s rock with doses of down-and-dirty Texas blues, science fiction, and Bible Belt boogie. The guys were Texans by birth, but their music whipped up its own geography. With its spacey, southern stomp, El Astronautacould’ve been the soundtrack for a road trip across the American desert…or even the house music for a weekend night at the Mos Eisley Cantina.
Noisey said “this ragtag bunch of boundary-pushers is likely to appeal to fans of Fu Manchu and Tom Waits in equal measure,” and Rolling Stone proclaimed Quaker City Night Hawks songs “fly in the face of mainstream rules.”
Arriving two years later, 2018’s QCNH ramps up that diversity with 10 new songs rooted in vintage R&B grooves, Stax-worthy funk, and guitar-fueled psychedelia.
“We’ve always been a rock & roll band,” says Sam Anderson, who splits the band’s singing, songwriting, and guitar-playing duties with David Matsler. “There’s a big ’70s influence and a strong southern element to everything we do. With this record, though, we’re exploring the sounds we’ve haven’t touched upon as often. It’s the deepest we’ve ever gone into our influences, and the widest range of sounds we’ve ever tied together.”
QCNH is tied together in more ways than one. Recorded at Niles City Sound (where Leon Bridges tracked his Grammy-nominated debut, Coming Home,several years earlier) in the band’s hometown of Ft. Worth, the album weaves a handful of signature riffs and melodies throughout multiple songs, filling the tracklist with a common strand of musical DNA. The result is a boldly heterogeneous album that still functions as a cohesive whole, produced by White Denim’s Austin Jenkins and performed by a group of road warriors who smartly balance their strengths — Anderson and Matsler’s hook-driven songwriting; drummer Aaron Haynes raw rhythm; the band’s blend of Tex-Mex desert rock and street-smart, big-city bombast — with their desire to explore and experiment.
