Background

The band is 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, and their middle names form the band name. Their sound evolved and became Simon Dawes with the addition of Wylie Gelber (bass) and Stuart Johnson (drums). Stuart Johnson is no longer in the band, he has been replaced by Taylor's 18 year old brother Griffen.

Along with playing many California shows, Simon Dawes has 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.
