Background
The band was composed of four friends. Two of 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 formed the band name. The other two founding members were Grant Powell (bass) and Dylan Grombacher (drums). Their sound evolved and they became Simon Dawes with replacements Wylie Gelber (bass) and Stuart Johnson (drums). Stuart Johnson has been replaced by Taylor's brother, Griffin.
Along with playing many California shows, Simon Dawes toured with The Walkmen, Maroon 5, Band of Horses, Eisley, Wolfmother and Incubus, among other artists.
