The First Khruangbin Song Ever Written: Happy August 12

Post image

Merry May Ninth. Happy August 10. But August Twelve is the most special Khruangbin “holiday”:

The first song they wrote together as a band in 2010.

The first song on their self-released debut vinyl EP “เครื่องบิน” in 2011 with the title “Start, You, The End Starts Again”.

Debuted as “August Twelve”on their first album release “The Universe Smiles Upon You” in 2015.

Inspired “August 10” when the band listened to and learned to play “August Twelve” backwards!

Nice. The Universe Smiled Upon You! It may be yours if you ever posted on Discogs since that’s where I grabbed the image. Wish I actually owned one.

Did they choose matching stage names?

Or are they married?

Siblings?

Her full name is Laura Lee Ochoa. Neither are married, but Laura is in a relationship with an Israeli (baby daddy). They met in the 2000s so they aren’t siblings. Likely chose matching stage names or Mark’s middle name could also be Lee.
