I Dont Know How but They Found Me, led by Dallon Weekes, is an indie pop project recognized for its distinctive 80s-inspired sound and has garnered a dedicated global fanbase through extensive touring and consistent musical output. After a secretive launch including a debut performance at Emo Nite Los Angeles’s 2-year anniversary event in 2016, I Dont Know How but They Found Me (iDKHOW), led by Dallon Weekes, officially emerged in August 2017 with the self-release of ‘Modern Day Cain.’ This track quickly charted on alternative music lists, followed by ‘Choke’ in October of the same year, also performing well commercially. iDKHOW, then a duo featuring singer-songwriter Dallon Weekes and drummer Ryan Seaman, signed with Fearless Records in 2018, releasing their debut EP, 1981 Extended Play. The EP achieved significant success, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
Concurrently, the project signed with Concord Records, marking a new artistic chapter. In 2024, iDKHOW released its highly anticipated second studio album, Gloom Division, supported by singles such as ‘What Love?’. This release was followed by the launch of the Gloomtown Tour and the iMPENDiNG GLOOM Tour, showcasing Weekes’ continued creative output. Looking ahead, I Dont Know How but They Found Me has several significant engagements planned for 2025, demonstrating ongoing demand and broad reach.
These include the Summer Gloom Division Tour with Phantom Planet, a Limited Engagement Tour, and The Prowler Tour where iDKHOW will support Waterparks. The project is also slated to perform at Warped Tour in Orlando in 2025, further expanding its festival presence.
