Question:

Take me back to Perth 🙏🏻 How did you guys link up and start jamming together?...

Answer:

Hello jake. Thank you so much for your question to answer this one. We're going to go all the way back to 2010, I would say back to last old college in Perth Western Australia which is where josh and I met, we met at high school, we went to high school together and we only really started performing together. It was in when we're in 12th grade and it was a piano vocal performance at the inter house dance competition. We were like the the in between the act, in between the dancers. So we really did steal the show, We are performed hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and then we, we really enjoyed that and so we thought we should do this again. We entered basically like a school talent show and what do we perform? It was all of you by john legend and uh you know josh definitely made an impression on the ladies with that one at school but that was we, we enjoyed that a lot. I think it was pretty soon after that we started riding together and I remember it was like one lunchtime, we went into the music room and recorded like our very first, the very first song that we wrote together. It was it was really, it was really something it was pretty bad but I remember being in the music room at the school piano working on this song and writing lyrics for the first time was sick. Um and we actually went and recorded that back at our old guitarist House on mixed craft which is you know not the industry standard uh door, but you know, it worked for them and we got a really awful recording and we actually performed it at school. We actually got some of the teachers to play because we didn't have a basis. Um and we, I think I played, I played guitar, we don't have anyone for base and we've got one of our friends to play piano, so it was just like an absolute mess that technically josh and I's first like band performance together. So that was wild. Um fast forward a couple of years. We're actually gearing up to play Reading and leeds Festival, which was actually san's first show with us. So that was the whole experience where Sam flew over from Sydney, which was where he was living at the time, to have only a couple of handfuls of rehearsals with us, but then before then flying out to the UK to play reading and leeds and then lindo joined us later that year, um actually on tour in the US for our first US tour. And so that's how, that's how the fame now it came together and it's it's been a long time since then. And uh yeah, it's been it's been a big road, but that's the beginning of it and I hope this is a good answer to your question
