The duo met when Dylan was touring the States with his band Bears From Labrador. Cory lives in Seattle and Dylan lives in London and Amsterdam. Dylan explains their first meeting in Bremerton, a nowhere town in the Pacific Northwest,<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_7788114815089683854Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cI had a bad feeling about the venue. Thrash metal. Too much leather, too many tattoos, too many beards and piercings. We were drinking a few beers when this fresh-faced kid with a huge smile and a Texan drawl introduced himself as the support act. He proceeded to pull out his iPod and explain how he was going to just plug it in and freestyle. I looked at him, full of hope and enthusiasm, then at the sweaty crowd of metal heads. Could get ugly. Half an hour later Cory took to the stage. The room was silent. He fumbled about. Then he started rapping. It was good. It was so good and funny as hell. It was like an Andy Kaufman sketch where you think it\u2019s all going wrong and the guy&#8217;s a total amateur but the whole thing was planned out. The next twenty minutes were a joy, Doing a project with Cory was a no-brainer.\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_7788114815089683854Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">You may not yet have heard of WA Wa Punx, but you\u2019ve almost certainly heard them.
