History edit
Singer and bassist Dave Erickson and his two brothers, guitarist Kyle and drummer Anders, originally formed in Winnipeg under the name Inward Eye.[1][2] They started out by performing in bars, and later signed with J Records in 2005,[3] and opened for The Who in 2006 in Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton.[4][5]
The band opened for the Oklahoma band Hinder in 2007;[3] they then moved to California to work on recording[1] and in 2009 they released a self-titled EP.[6][7] The album contained their oft-performed song You Know I Know. Later that year they went on a cross Canada tour with Flogging Molly.[8]
Inward Eye played during the closing ceremony at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.[9] In 2013, after several years of inactivity, the brothers changed their band name to You Know I Know, and performed a come-back show in St. Boniface, Manitoba.[10]
