History

2011–2012: Formation

Gang of Youths were formed in Sydney, Australia in 2011, with original drummer, Sam O'Donnell. Le'aupepe and original lead guitarist, Joji Malani, first met in 2002, both aged 10, attending Hillsong, an evangelical church in northern Sydney. In subsequent years, they befriended O'Donnell and Chicago-born Kim at the church's youth group. Although Le'aupepe described himself during this time as a 'loner' and stated that while "I still align myself with Jesus," he was "just not a great poster-boy for it." In 2008, after leaving his previous school, Le'aupepe started attending the more prestigious Mosman High School, where he continued performing his own songs at school concerts, along with Harley Streten (soon to be known as

). Also, at Mosman High was Kiwi Max Dunn, who befriended Le'aupepe during their final year of high school in 2009. The band's first gig was at Sydney's Hibernian House on 21 June 2012, supporting local band Tigertown. Tigertown's drummer Kurt Bailey was so impressed with the performance that he later became their manager. For the next 5 months, the band practiced and recorded some demos until their next gig in late December of that year. They started playing regular support gigs in small Sydney venues and local community station.
