Music career
Weeks after he returned to Utah after living in Oklahoma for two years, the band began as a weekend pastime. The company's name was inspired by a person from Dallon's school days. Weekes, photographer/producer Matt Glass, and another friend from high school made up the original line-up. Following a few years of recording basement demos, touring, and line-up changes, the band was offered a Drive-Thru Records imprint, and Weekes was given solo recording deals by Sony BMG, Interscope Records, and a smaller independent label if he wanted to drop his bandmates. Weeks have declined.
The Brobecks welcomed bands such as Fall Out Boy, Phantom Planet, Ben Kweller, and The Bravery. Despite all the brand's attention and album success for an indie band, the band remained unsigned and dissigned.
Weekes launched the Quiet Title EP on his Bandcamp page for The Brobecks in late 2012, as well as the ability to buy a physical copy of the Violent Things Reissue CD. The Quiet Title EP features two songs, "Anyone I Know" and "Cluster Hug," both featuring Ian Crawford on guitar and Matt Glass, a former Brobecks drummer. In an interview with Salt Lake City's X96 radio station in November 2012, Weekes said that these songs were recorded during Panic's fourth studio album's songwriting and recording process, but that they did not correspond with their new record.
Weekes and Ian Crawford were hired to replace Ross and Walker for Panic after Ryan Ross and Jon Walker's departure in 2009. The Disco is on a temporary, touring basis for their second studio album Pretty. Odd. (2008). When touring with the band in China in mid-2010, Weekes' 'touring only' status changed. He had been asked by Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith to join them indefinitely at the time. However, his permanent membership in the band didn't exist until Weekes revealed it on Twitter in mid-2012 as a full-time member.
During his time as Panic's highest official member. Weekes, who was in charge of the conceptualization of the band's third studio album, Vices & Virtues (2011), was also featured on the album cover, masked and standing in the background behind Smith and Urie. On the band's fourth studio album, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! He was credited with writing all but two songs. (2013). At the 2015 Alternative Press Music Awards, Weekes was also recognized for Best Bassist. Weekes' status had changed to that of a touring artist again during the band's fifth studio album Death of a Bachelor. Weekes resigned from the band's official line-up on Twitter in October 2015, saying he was "not contributing creatively anymore."Dallon announced he was leaving Panic!

I was with the Disco for many years. Ryan Seaman, a former Brobecks bandmate, performed drums on the record, prompting Weekes to suggest it as a pair under the name I Don't Know How But They Found Me.
In late 2016, Weekes and Seaman began doing small shows but kept it private. On December 6, 2016, they attended Emo Nite Los Angeles' two-year anniversary celebration. Different outlets covered a "new side project" by Weekes and Seaman and announced the band name after the show. Even when confronted with photos and videos from the shows, Weekes and Seaman denied the entire program for months. Weeks later, the weeks emphasized that they did not want to profit from both his and Seaman's name recognition and their association with the well-known bands in which they appeared. In August 2018, they announced their signing to Fearless Records. 1981 Extended Play, the band's debut EP, was released in November 2018. On November 15, 2019, the band released a Christmas EP, Christmas Drag. Razzmatazz, the band's debut album, was released on October 23, 2020.
