Well alrighty folks here's a full history of Dallon's projects. I'm not including all the random Brobecks EPs though, just albums. because A. there are so many and B. there weren't really any particularly notable songs or lineup changes so i have no reason to mention them.
In the 1990s, Dallon Weekes and some of his friends formed 1000 West. Just a shitty little high school band. They made a lot of music, but we only have two of their albums, those being The Goods and Homemade. It's important to note that Dallon was just playing bass, and Mike Gross (who would later be the lead vocalist of The Brobecks) wasn't in the band yet, so vocals were pretty much exclusively Scott Jones. In the late 1990s, once the band members got out of high school, they broke up the band for various personal reasons.
However, in 2002, they started The Brobecks, with Scott, Mike, Dallon, and Matt Glass. In 2003, they made 4th of JuLive. At this point, Dallon was hardly a vocalist - he still almost entirety just played bass still. He had two songs in this album that he actually sang lead vocals for.
After that, Scott left, and the band recruited Bryan Szymanski to replace him on keyboards. They decided they wanted to do something different, so they made Understanding The Brobecks. UTB had a lot of the same songs as 4th of JuLive, but higher quality, and sometimes replacing Scott's vocals with someone else's. For example, Dallon sang his lines in Creep You Out. This was the first album with the "true" Brobecks lineup (Dallon, Mike, Matt, Bryan) that we see today. Dallon had lead vocals on four songs, but also sang some lines in a few others. Currently, three UTB songs are available easily - the three songs that he wrote and sang on his own. Those are on the band's Bandcamp.
After that, they released Happiest Nuclear Winter in 2005, which is. Very interesting. It's like vaguely a concept album surrounding a post-nuclear war world, except it's also just your average Brobecks album. You can see in this album that Dallon was slowly singing more and more - he sings a little less than half of the album (5/11 songs, I believe). This is also one of two albums that is currently available on streaming services - it was brought back for the 20 year anniversary :) Some of the songs eventually ended up being remade for the album Violent Things.
Then everyone decided to leave. Matt and Bryan both left, and new members replaced them. Admittedly, I don't remember the new members' names. They're on Wikipedia if you need them. This left Dallon and Mike as the only original members. In 2006, they released the album Goodnight, and Have a Pleasant Tomorrow. At this point, vocals were completely balanced 50/50, as The Brobecks should be and is meant to be. This album also has a few songs that eventually ended up on Violent Things!
After GNAHAPT, Mike ALSO left, leaving Dallon as the only original member of The Brobecks, and once again, new members replaced all of the old ones. From 2008-2009, Ryan Seaman was the drummer for The Brobecks. This will be important later. Dallon, basically on his own, made Violent Things, which you probably already know a bit about. It's their most significant album, I guess you could say. One of the songs on it (Better Than Me) really really blew up on TikTok in the 2020s, which is weird given that it released. Y'know. In 2009. It was the only Brobecks album on streaming services for pretty much forever. 2009 was incredibly eventful for another notable reason:
Dallon joined Panic! At The Disco as a touring member following the departure of Jon Walker.
This was in the Vices & Virtues era, which he didn't contribute to creatively whatsoever - he was literally just a touring member. Well, and he was on the cover of the album as an ominous looming figure. AND he did the concept art for it. He didn't, like, write any of the songs or anything though.
The next album is where it actually gets interesting - Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die. This album was largely (but certainly not entirely!) written by Dallon. I can't remember exactly how many songs but I know he doesn't get very much credit for a lot of them /lh . Fun fact: one of the songs on TWTLTRTD originates from a Brobecks demo, which originates from another Brobecks song, which originates from a 1000 West song! So ultimately it's just like a really really advanced 1000 West song. Which is cool. I bet teenage Dallon never would have expected that one of his songs would eventually become a track for one of the biggest alternative bands ever.
After TWTLTRD, he went back to just being a touring member during the next P!ATD era (Death of a Bachelor). But that's not very exciting. You know what IS exciting? On tour, he started writing songs for a new project - which we would later come to know as I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (iDKHOW).
Side note: while in P!ATD, but post-Brobecks, he released a few solo christmas songs, one of which featured backing vocals from Tyler Joseph, which is cool I guess haha. A couple of those Christmas songs were later re-made for iDKHOW! Also cool are his TWOMINCVRS, which are... exactly what you'd expect. Covers of some "lesser known songs" which are less than/around 2 minutes long :)
Still in Panic! At The Disco, he formed iDKHOW with Ryan Seaman (remember him from earlier?). The shows they played were entirely in secret. They'd play tiny bars and whatnot, intentionally avoiding any association with their other projects (at the time, Ryan was also in the band Falling in Reverse. I imagine some people probably knew of him from there.) When I say "avoided associations with other projects" I am very serious about it. If fans asked them about iDKHOW, they straight up denied it completely. You couldn't get them to admit to the band (bamd, if ya know what i mean) existing.
That is, until they needed to... well.... actually release music. They eventually made the band a proper public project in 2017 because they were going to put a song out. This song was Modern Day Cain. Dallon never liked the song - in fact, he's stated he intentionally put out the worst song he wanted to release first. Modern Day Cain was released in August of 2017. Arguably, this is when iDKHOW really became a band and not just a silly side project between friends.
Around this time, Dallon and Ryan both quit their respective bands to focus on iDKHOW full time. They began to work on (and release) their newest music, which was (drumroll please) 1981 Extended Play! The first singles on this release were Choke and Do It All The Time. Most people I know, even those who don't like iDKHOW, know about Choke. Totally blew up on TikTok, I guess. Does the line "stop, drop, and drag me into place" ring any bells? Probably. Anyways. To this day, Choke is their most popular song, and Do It All The Time is their second most popular. Last time I checked, that is. Like I may have already stated - no sources, no fact checking. We die like the character in Goodnight Socialite.
Clearly, those singles were highly successful. But the rest of the EP is just as important. Bleed Magic was also released as a single prior to the EP release. The full EP released October of 2018. I don't have much else to say here, honestly. Following 1981's release, they toured with Waterparks at one point for their Entertainment tour. Not very important, I just think it's neat. It provides context for Dallon doing backing vocals on Waterparks' track Fruit Roll Ups, if nothing else :)
After 1981 EP, they started working on their first full album: RAZZMATAZZ. According to Dallon, he heard the word razzmatazz a lot from a show his music class watched regularly, and the word had sort of just stuck with him since then. If I recall correctly, it was supposed to be the same release as 1981 but some stuff got delayed. RAZZMATAZZ also had a few singles. Honestly, I don't have as much to say about Razz. I think it's cool that a riff from The Brobecks' song I'll Break Your Arm ended up in Clusterhug. Which was also a Brobecks song originally. That song's got a fun history. Did you know he proposed it to P!ATD but they didn't want to have it on the album? Just overall really neat.
After that, they didn't really do ALL that much, admittedly. The pandemic certainly didn't help. But they didn't make any full new releases for quite a while. They released RAZZMATAZZ Deluxe Edition and a couple other various singles, but that's about it.
I wasn't there at the time, but I imagine 2023 must have been a very wild time for iDKHOW fans. Following "a series of broken trusts", Ryan was kicked out of the band. There were a few things that happened, but the most significant by far is that Ryan stole about 26k from Dallon. If you ever see me posting about "the evil-ex drummer of iDKHOW", that's who I'm talking about. Dallon didn't replace him with another member. iDKHOW is a solo project now, though he has a very lovely group of touring members who play with him at iDKHOW shows!
On the plus side, songs from their second album GLOOM DIVISION started releasing, starting with WHAT LOVE? GLOOM DIVISION is my favorite album of all time, I really think you should listen to it if you can. Also, fun fact: a lot of the drums on this album were done by Matt Glass. Yeah that's right :) the guy from The Brobecks.
Side tangent: Also around GLOOM DIVISION time, Dallon got diagnosed with autism and ADHD. If you weren't aware, when I call him autistic/mention that he's neurodivergent, it's not me diagnosing him. He actually is and has mentioned it in interviews and stuff!!! And I think that's super cool because it's very important to me that someone I look up to a lot is neurodivergent :)
That's pretty much the last thing that happened with iDKHOW history, not counting a single he did with DE'WAYNE. I forgot to mention earlier, but that's actually the second song they did together. He's cool, you should check out his music.
Oh, yeah, it's also been confirmed that Dallon's working on the next album, and he posted a cover of Turn To Stone by Electric Light Orchestra. That's pretty awesome :)
But the essay isn't over yet. We have to go all the way back to the start now, because The Brobecks are back! The four members that I referred to earlier as the "true" members reunited as The Brobecks, after about twenty years. The reunion was largely centered around their 2005 album Happiest Nuclear Winter. After years of it not being on any streaming platforms, it was added back to all of them in January of 2025.
In addition, they played a show (once again, their first show with this lineup in TWENTY YEARS and their first show in general in over ten!!) and did a showing of their documentary, The Brobecks: Not Dead Yet in Salt Lake City, Utah (where they're from). They've stated they plan to release more music as well, which was supposed to be soon but The Brobecks are terrible with time management haha :)
Edited as of May 15th, 2026: The Brobecks' documentary is out for 10 dollars on Matt Glass' patreon :)
I... think that's all? I've GOT to be missing some important information (there's no way this is everything!!! there HAS to be more.) but I don't know what I could possibly be missing. Like I said, I didn't fact check (I wanted to test my knowledge) but if I have any crucial information wrong please let me know so I can correct it!!! In addition, I'll update this as more happens with any of his projects :)
If anyone does want a source for any of this, I know I have all of this information saved SOMEWHERE. I just didn't want to find it right now! Similarly, if anyone has any questions, I'm more than willing to answer!
