History
editLadyhawk formed in February 2004 in Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] Their debut album, Ladyhawk was released on June 6, 2006, on Jagjaguwar Records. The lead single on the album was "Dugout", followed by "My Old Jacknife". Their next album, Shots, was recorded in an old barn in their hometown of Kelowna and released in 2008.[1][3][4] During the making of Shots, a documentary was filmed about the Ladyhawks, called "Let Me Be Fictional".
The songs "Drunk Eyes" and "The Dugout" (from Ladyhawk) can be heard in the 2009 film The Thaw.
In 2012, the band released the album No Can Do,[5] and then went on a promotional tour around Canada.[6] to promote it.[7] Soon after, the band went on hiatus, but reformed in 2014.[2]
