Caleb, 39, was an indie singer and guitarist and met John, 32, when he joined the group. They’ve been married eight years and live in their home town in California.
In April 2009, Caleb was living in Oakland, California, and was the singer/bassist in an indie band. “We needed to find a drummer,” he remembers. His best friend, the guitarist of the band, asked his younger brother’s friend, John, to audition.
“I was at university in Santa Cruz and wanted a break from studying,” says John. “I was already a big fan of the band and was really excited when I heard they wanted me to try out.” Although they’d never properly met, Caleb says he has a “fuzzy memory” of John listening to one of his practices. “I don’t know why, but I had a really good feeling about him,” he says. “I had this weird flash of knowing it was important and that we should definitely audition John.”
