Biography

The band began by recording demo tapes in Capotorto's bedroom studio in Mandurah. After posting their music on MySpace the band entered Triple J's Unearthed High School competition for unsigned bands, in which they made the finals with their track "Come Around"[4] They were later selected by Triple J to play at Parklife Festival.[5] Prior to collaborating, both Tim and Jean had been known for performing in other musical projects. Coming from a musical background, at the age of 12 Tim was asked to play with James Morrison, a renowned jazz trumpeter and musician. Tim was also the lead singer and keys player for Mandurah band, You, Me and Ryan, with whom he toured Western Australia for two years. Jean was known for playing guitar in various rock bands around Mandurah from a young age. Tim has played with many church bands in his time as a musician. The duo have played internationally in America and have supported Moby.[6] Tim & Jean have been compared to U.S retro-pop outfit Passion Pit due to their similar style of music.

Tim and Jean released their debut album, Like What, in April 2011, which debuted and peaked at number 12 on the ARIA Album Charts.

In November 2012, Tim Ayre announced that the band had been renamed The Lazy Calm and that Jean Capotorto decided to leave the group immediately.[7]
