When Q And Not U disbanded in 2005, drummer John Davis turned to his singer-songwriter friend, Laura Burhenn, to forge something new. At first the two seemed like an unlikely pair. John had spent the past seven years releasing records with his bandmates on Dischord and touring the world. Laura, on the other hand, had been releasing solo projects on her own label, Laboratory Records, and playing smaller venues on the east coast and in L.A. How could they find common ground?
When the two met to discuss the possibility of playing together, they talked about all the music they first fell in love with. Turns out there was a lot of overlap. Taking those inspirations and an open mind into a practice space in NE Washington D.C., the duo went to work. John went back and forth between drums and acoustic and electric guitar; Laura worked at the Fender Rhodes. Six hours and some new songs later, they were certain: not only could this work, it would -- and even better than either of them had anticipated.
The practice and writing sessions at Dance Place (the D.C. Community Arts Center that is adjacent to the Georgie James practice space) turned out a slew of songs, all strong on melody and harmonies. The two weren't sure what to call what they'd created. If they could invent one songwriter with all of the characteristics of their favorite writers, what would that person's name be? They agreed on something a little androgynous, a little bit glam: Georgie James.
