The Mohawk Lodge

The Mohawk Lodge is a Canadian indie rock group,[1] fronted by singer and songwriter Ryder Havdale, who tours with different collaborators and guests.

[3] The Mohawk Lodge subsequently became Havdale's primary project after the earlier bands broke up, and followed up with Wildfires in 2007.

Other members on those tours included Peter Dreimanis and Danny Miles of July Talk, Tim McCready, Lee Klippenstein of Slates, and Rob Josephson who also formerly played with Havdale in Kids These Days.

2011 began the recording of the follow-up to Crimes, entitled Damaged Goods,[5] which was self-recorded in Havdale's Toronto Bloor Street apartment and featured songs that were written and arranged on the 2010 European tours.

In 2013 the Mohawk Lodge played nearly 100 shows and continued to commit to the fierce DIY ethic that Havdale has commonly espoused.
