This episode almost didn't happen - David Le'aupepe almost didn't come back to music, almost didn't form Gang of Youths and almost didn't release one of the most acclaimed debut albums of the year in The Positions. A series of life-changing events lead the singer-songwriter back into writing and playing music in spite of - or perhaps because of - anxiety and uncertainty in his midst. Over lunch in Sydney, the charming frontman talks through Hendrix covers at the Annandale, touring the States and selling out in Australia.

The Positions is out now.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
