Simon Dawes was a rock band originally from Malibu, California. The band was signed with Record Collection and released their debut full-length, Carnivore, in September 2006. They have two previously released EPs. The band is now known as Dawes.
Background
The band was composed of four friends. Its founding members Taylor Goldsmith (vocals, guitar, keys, lyrics) and Blake Mills (vocals, guitar, and lyrics) began playing music together in junior high at Malibu High School, and their middle names form the band name.[1] Their sound evolved and they became Simon Dawes with the addition of Wylie Gelber (bass) and Stuart Johnson (drums). Stuart Johnson was has been replaced by Taylor's brother, Griffen.
Along with playing many California shows, Simon Dawes toured with The Walkmen, Maroon 5,[1] Band of Horses, Eisley, Wolfmother and Incubus, among other artists. After the departure of guitarist Blake Mills, Simon Dawes became Dawes (Simon had been Mills' middle name) with Gelber and the Goldsmiths still on board.
