More about iDKHOW
I Dont Know How But They Found Me, or iDKHOW is the new project led by frontman, multi-instrumentalist, and mastermind Dallon Weekes. iDKHOW formally revealed itself with 2018’s ‘1981 Extended Play’ EP prior to hitting the road and performing on the mainstage at UK’s Reading and Leeds Festivals as well as sharing stages with the likes of Twenty One Pilots, The 1975, Billie Eilish, The Killers, The National and Blink 182, just to name a few. The group recently released their debut album ‘Razzmatazz’ via Fearless Records, which debuted top 25 on nine charts including #1 Alternative New Artist, #2 Billboard Heatseekers and #6 Alternative with lead single “Leave Me Alone” which hit #1 at Alt Radio. Since the release of their debut, iDKHOW has hit 330+ million streams globally, graced the covers of Alternative Press, Dork, and Upset, and earned acclaim from Billboard, SPIN, Forbes, American Songwriter, Rock Sound, DIY Magazine and many more.
With a curated storyline - iDKHOW was initially believed to have been a band from 30 plus years ago that never got their big break. A band that time forgot. But in 2017, an anonymous donor began to release recovered video footage of iDKHOW. The videos, released out of chronological order, span the years 1964 to 1983 and hint to a different story than that of a band lost to obscurity. As this footage of iDKHOW has surfaced in the past three years, fans, music historians and conspiracy theorists have converged on internet platforms to debate the story of iDKHOW.
