The Mohawk Lodge is a Canadian indie rock group, fronted by singer and songwriter Ryder Havdale, who tours with different collaborators and guests.Formerly based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the band was formed in the early 2000s as a side project for songs Havdale didn't feel fit with his other bands, Kids These Days and Second Narrows. Their first album, Rare Birds, was released in 2004 on Havdale's own label, White Whale Records.
