'Twas the night during Christmas
Before they became the genre-defying entity that is Glass Animals, Ed Irwin-Singer, Drew Macfarlane, Dave Bayley and Joe Seaward were childhood friends who sat on the same school bus and shared a love for music—but never once considered a career in music.
"I never even thought about playing," Joe begins."That was Dave."
Laughing sheepishly, the lead singer Dave replies: "Me neither, but it was my fault in the end. I showed them a song once while I was drunk—and Joe was like, 'Put it on the internet'."
"I remember that," Joe says. "You asked me to come around your house during Christmas, and showed us these songs you'd written and asked what we thought about them. I told you to put them on Myspace, which at the time was sort of dying a horrible death. Then you said to me that if you put them on the internet, would I form a band with you."
"And then Drew and Ed were roped into it," Dave adds.
