Hankshaw

Hankshaw's roots trace back to a pop punk band called [a1473954] that started in 1992. After a line-up change in [a1473954], they were on a flyer to play a show as Lazy Susan on August 28th, 1995, but announced while on stage that they were changing their name to Hankshaw. From that point on there was a gradual fading out of [a1473954] songs until the band eventually had all new Hankshaw songs and they never returned to their [a1473954] songs. Hankshaw sounded exactly like [a1473954] at first, but went on to change their sound a couple different times over the course of their existence. The name Hankshaw comes from a novel by [a472752] entitled Even Cowgirls Get The Blues (1976) which had a character in the novel named Sissy Hank Shaw.
