About Me

In 2006, Michael and Tait started learning guitar and bass together with the idea of starting a band. After writing some songs they played a couple of shows as iDriveHome. In 2007 the band starting playing around Dundee a lot more, and even played the amazing Doghouse a couple of times. The band planned a five date scottish tour which they had to cancel due to losing a drummer. This ofset all future plans. The next year was again spent mostly writing with playing, the funniest, three shows with some ginger-bloke passing as a drummer.
The start of 2009 iDriveHome returned to playing around Dundee with a new member and an entirely new set with a more mature sound. With completion of the disastourous Mico West Coast Tour it seems 2009 is the year of... driving home?
