Mickey Hawks And The Night Raiders !




Mickey Hawks was born in Thomasville, North Carolina. in 1956 he heard the ultimate screamer of rock & roll Little Richard and from that point nothing was to be the same anymore. Mickey formed his first own band that same year called the Rhythm Rockers (The Night Raiders) and they played mostly high-schools. The group signed a three-year contract with Profile.
The record was well received and became No. 1 on about two Chicago stations and sold about 50.000 copies. A follow-up was natural and in 1959 the Rhythm Rockers did record 6 more songs at the Universal Record Studios in Chicago.
After that, no more records by the group were made but they stayed together for about 7 years. Mickey has never stopped playing his brand of music and he's been to Europe several times. As the wise man once said you ain't heard nothing until you heard the white screamer Mickey Hawks !

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
