The Hawtsies have been out on the road and in their home town of New Orleans promoting the release of their debut album, “Nine Lives”. The music pays homage to R&B from the 50’s and 60’s with a bit of modern glam and new wave attitude. The nine songs on the LP written by Rob Hudak are deceptively simple party songs crafted by the group into solid arrangements of bass, drums, guitar, saxophone and keys.
