When We Met is a rock duo founded by Bryan Casey and Melissa Dorres. The two met by chance at a concert back in 2010, bonding over their love of Ween, they were instantly inseparable. In 2014, WWM released an EP and made their live debut at Dante’s in their hometown, Portland, Oregon. Since then When We Met has become a favorite “couple rock band” in their music community. Described as new wave, indie rock, post punk and even bedroom pop. WWM consider themselves as genre blenders who take influence from a lot of their favorite 90's bands like Ween, Pixies, Radiohead and PJ Harvey to name a few. The two piece uses a mixture of live instrumentation and pre-recorded tracks to bring the music to life live, continuously evolving their energetic and engaging live performances. 

As one of the hardest working DYI bands, Bryan and Melissa take on many duties outside of creating music together. Bryan is the mad man behind most of WWM’s unique electronic sounds, the in house recording engineer and graphic designer. Melissa is the mastermind behind most of WWM's tour management, booking and web design. Shared duties include songwriting, video editing and kicking ass. 

The necessity of these creative outlets for sanity's sake and going on tour is what keeps When We Met going. WWM is here to stay, in fact the duo recently got married in 2019, making it even more solidified that we will continue to see and hear more When We Met creations and tour dates!
