I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

**I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME** (shortened as **iDKHOW**), is a duo formed in 2016 in Salt Like City, Utah by bassist and vocalist Dallon Weekes and drummer Ryan Seaman. The band has only one studio album and two EPs.

## Background

Weekes and Seaman have a history of musical collaborations that begun in the late 2000s when Seaman temporarily toured with the Brobecks in 2008, a band in which Weekes was the only member left after a split the year prior. Weekes had a vague idea of what he wanted to do in the future since 2009.

Weekes and Seaman had collaborated for the second time in 2015 when Weekes released his solo Christmas EP entitled *Christmas Jambz*. Seaman didn't perform on "Christmas Drag" because it was a track recorded when the Brobecks were still together.

Weekes planned on starting a solo project for fun. At the time, he was touring with Panic! at the Disco, and Seaman was still a member of Falling in Reverse. Weekes knew he wanted to start a band; this was most likely around the time he considered leaving P!atD. Since Seaman was a long time friend of his and had been going through a similar situation, the two were meant to be from there. When Weekes offered to form iDKHOW with Seaman, he felt that it "meant everything" to him since he found himself being "a hired guy" for most of his musical career.

Since their formation until 2017, the duo attempted to keep themselves a secret. They would play shows around Los Angeles, but they couldn't keep themselves under the radar. Weekes recognized that he didn't want to keep this new band a secret forever, though. Eventually, the duo got outed, and they stopped being secretive. By the end of 2017, both Weekes and Seaman had left their respective bands and began to focus on iDKHOW.
