Rock Legend News: What has been your approach to music Lonnie? Lonnie Vencent: Conglomerating my influences into my music. Rock Legend News: In 1984, You, Scott Travis, Doug Marks, Charles Morrill were in the Hollywood, California’s 80’s glam band HAWK. The band seemed to have a good future. What exactly did not work? Lonnie Vencent: There was no record company. It was funded by Doug and his wife Londa. It was like being signed to a label, because it was funded by Metal Method. Rock Legend News: HAWK image designer, Londa R. Marks added to the unique chemistry of HAWK. She also designed and created some clothes for the Bullet Boys. How do you like working with Londa? Lonnie Vencent: First, Londa was the fifth member of HAWK. She was a huge part of that. Second, I love working with her. She is the consummate professional. ROCK LEGEND NEWS
