2009–2010: Formation

Boy & Bear was formed in 2009 in Sydney, beginning as a solo project for singer-songwriter Dave Hosking. [2] In February 2009, Hosking uploaded a track, "The Storm", to the Unearthed program on radio station Triple J, [2] and it became a featured song at the station. [3] Hosking met Killian Gavin, who was a singer-songwriter and guitarist in Ovell, and the pair started jamming together. [2] [4] Tim Hart, from another university band, Wintersound, joined as a drummer and singer-songwriter. [2] [4] Then they expanded with Hart's brother Jon (ex-Wintersound) on keyboard, vocals, mandolin and banjo and Jake Tarasenko (ex-Tripartisan Approach) on bass guitar. [3] [4] [5] [6] All five had fronted their own groups and became friends after regularly sharing the stage at gigs. [4] Their songwriting usually has Hosking strumming chords on a guitar, Gavin writing the hooks, and the Hart brothers providing backing vocal lyrics, keyboard parts and drum lines. [2] On 21 October, they issued an independent single, "Mexican Mavis", which was a featured song for the "Next Crop '09" segment on Triple J. [2] [4] In November 2009, the band described its style as "a combination of drivey indie folk and choral harmonies". [7]

Aside from Triple J, the band received national airplay on NovaFM. [3] [6] The group signed with Island Records Australia, [5] [8] and in 2013, they signed internationally with Nettwerk.

After winning the 2009 Unearthed competition, they gained a performance spot at Homebake in December. [7] [9] They later toured Australia backing Angus and Julia Stone and Hungry Kids of Hungary. [7] [9]

In 2010, they toured the UK supporting Laura Marling and Alessi's Ark, [10] and later supported Mumford & Sons on their Australian tour. They also featured on Passenger's album 'Flight of the Crow'. In May Boy & Bear released their debut extended play, With Emperor Antarctica, [11] which peaked at No. 63 on the ARIA Singles Chart. [9] [12] In the same year, they recorded the song "Fall at Your Feet" for He Will Have His Way , a tribute album to singer-songwriter brothers Tim and Neil Finn. Boy & Bear's version of "Fall at Your Feet" was listed at No. 5 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2010. [13] Another of their tracks, "Rabbit Song", was placed at No. 45. [14] In November 2010 their cover of "Fall at Your Feet" peaked at No. 34 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

In 2013 Boy & Bear were nominated for three ARIA awards including, Best Group, Best Rock Album and Producer of the Year with Wayne Connolly. The album was also nominated for a J Award and was ranked #7 in triple j's Top 10 Albums of 2013 poll in the same year.
