Alt-pop duo I Don't Know How But They Found Me (commonly shortened to iDKHOW) may be a fairly new band, but following the release of 1981 Extended Play last year they have had non-stop success, with a sold-out UK headline tour, an appearance at London's O2 Academy Brixton supporting Deaf Havana and touring America. Soon to return to the UK for a tour and an appearance at Slam Dunk Festival, we caught up with Dallon Weekes to discuss their live show, his most memorable moment on stage and his festival do's and don'ts.
