japandroids was formed in 2006 by Brian King (guitar, vocals) and David Prowse (drums, vocals)
Frustrated by the lack of support for live music in vancouver, as well as the difficultly of 'breaking into' the local music scene, King and Prowse regularly set up their own shows.Inspired by the DIY methods of bands like Fugazi they would often arrange for a venue or space to play, rent PA equipment, design and distribute fliers and posters, as well as arrange for their friends to help run the shows.
