- Dawes is an American folk rock band from Los Angeles, California. Dawes is composed of brothers Taylor (guitars and vocals) and Griffin Goldsmith (drums), along with Wylie Gelber (bass) and Lee Pardini (keyboards).
Dawes was formed from the band Simon Dawes after the departure of co-songwriter Blake Mills, subsequently abandoning a post-punk sound in favor of folk rock. Dawes has been described as having a Laurel Canyon sound derived from artists such as Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young.
At the invitation of producer Jonathan Wilson, the band joined a local informal jam session that included Conor Oberst, The Black Crowes's Chris Robinson, and Benmont Tench. The band recorded their debut album, North Hills, in Laurel Canyon in a live setting to analog tape, resulting in a sound that Rolling Stone magazine called 'authentically vintage'. Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone is also credited with appearing on the release.
The band made their television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on April 14, 2010. Dawes released their second album, Nothing Is Wrong, on June 7, 2011 and toured the US co-headlining with Blitzen Trapper. Original keyboardist Tay Strathairn did not appear on Nothing Is Wrong due to other commitments and was temporarily replaced by Alex Casnoff. Strathairn returned to the band in late 2010. Dawes played alongside Jackson Browne at the Occupy Wall Street event in Liberty Park, on December 1, 2011. The band also appeared as themselves on the February 7, 2012 episode of the NBC television series Parenthood.
In February 2013, the band released the single 'From a Window Seat' from the 2013 album Stories Don't End on Red General Catalog and their own Hub Records.
In December 2013, the song 'Just Beneath the Surface' from Stories Don't End was featured in the episode 'Independent Movie' of the animated series American Dad!
In early 2015, Duane Betts joined the band as a member of their touring ensemble. Taylor and Duane alternate playing lead guitar on songs. On September 30, 2015, just after the release of June's All Your Favorite Bands, the departure of keyboardist Tay Strathairn was announced in a Facebook post. Lee Pardini began playing keyboards on the band's winter 2015/2016 tour and became a permanent member of the band in July 2016. Later, auxiliary guitarist Duane Betts left the band, and was replaced by guitarist Trevor Menear.
On August 16, 2016, Dawes announced the release of their fifth album, We're All Gonna Die. We're All Gonna Die was released on September 16, 2016, on HUB Records. The record marked a distinct change of style, building on the band's previous Laurel Canyon folk rock sound with a sonic twist, adding in more synthesized keyboard sounds, heavier bass, and an overall different sound for the group (while still staying true to their roots). We're All Gonna Die was produced by former founding member of Simon Dawes, Blake Mills. In November 2016, they announced their 'An Evening with Dawes' tour, which began in January 2017. The 'Evening With' tour is distinct from past tours because, instead of having an opening act, they perform 2-3 hour shows with a small intermission.
