I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW), the alt/pop band lost in time fronted by Dallon Weekes, long-time bassist for Panic! At The Disco and drummer Ryan Seaman, reveal their brand new music video for the band’s fan-favorite song, Choke.
The recent discovery of this long forgotten performance was accompanied only by the following description:‘Pop Time Live’ was a short-lived music television program that aired briefly in Eastern Europe in the early 1980’s. The show and its producers had hoped to capitalize on the then popular ‘Italo Disco’ movement, but audiences found its lack of authenticity objectionable.
Labeled “NOT FOR BROADCAST,” it’s believed that this particular iDKHOW performance never made it to air due to the band’s refusal to properly pantomime to their own song. Watch the video below!
Choke is the lead-off track from iDKHOW‘s six-song debut EP 1981 Extended Play via Fearless Records, that debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker chart in the U.S. Choke has been streamed over one million times in the UK alone already.
Last year iDKHOW made their international debut and played a sold out mini UK headline tour last August shortly afterplaying Reading & Leeds Festival. They then supported Deaf Havana at London’s Brixton Academy, and this summer sees the two-piece play Slam Dunk Festival in Leeds on Saturday 25th May, and on Sunday 26th May in Hatfield.
ABOUT I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW)
I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME – Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman – is a musical entity with a conceptual backstory. The name, a key to their remarkable odyssey, is taken from a piece of dialogue from the 80s classic film “Back To The Future.” They are a lost act from the late 70s early 80s that never quite made it, but their rare and long-forgotten music has recently been unearthed thanks to today’s technological resources. Weekes and Seaman are just starting to resurrect the songs and innovative spirit of iDKHOW for a new generation starved for creative risk taking and unbound joy.
I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME is getting a second chance. For the first time.
