I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (stylized in shorthand as iDKHOW) spent their Friday evening with a sold-out crowd at Big Night Live. The SLC group, led by Dallon Weekes, released their highly anticipated sophomore outfit, GLOOM DIVISION, this past February on Concord Records.

Rising from the ashes of other bands, including Panic! At The Disco, Falling in Reverse and The Brobecks, Dallon Weekes started iDKHOW in secret with former Brobecks drummer, Ryan Seaman. Weekes spent his spare time writing the skeletons of songs before bringing them back to Utah to flesh them out with Seaman, turning each one into its own eclectic arrangement that would come to define the sound of their band. 

Weekes and his band took the stage and immediate command of the room as they ripped into “Leave Me Alone” off their debut LP. It was clear from the setlist that Weekes took care with curating a show that covered the entire span of their discography, even including a couple popular songs from his days in The Brobecks. “We’re going to take a break from the invisible piano and saxophone players to play some old songs with just what you see here on the stage,” Weekes said as he introduced his band and segued into “Cluster Hug.” They played another Brobecks song, “Visitation of the Ghost,” but added some modern twists, teasing “HOT TO GO” and “Please Please Please” before getting back to the song and wrapping their sold-out show with a bang.

iDKHOW continues in the IMPENDING GLOOM tour through the midwest before closing out in Omaha, NE right before Thanksgiving.
