History
Zott and Epstein met each other while playing in other Detroit music projects. They formed Dale Earnhardt jr" target="_blank">Jr. jr" target="_blank">Jr. in late 2009, and began recording in Zott's basement in Royal Oak, Michigan with few intentions of reaching the public. Their original name, derived from NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt jr" target="_blank">Jr., was suggested to the pair as a joke. In 2013 Zott stated, "The name for us was just a way to identify our crazy new project that had no limitations. People have no idea how we are going to sound, and so it gives them a reason to actually take some time to listen to the music." About 2011, the band emailed Dale Earnhardt jr" target="_blank">Jr. to assure him they were not making fun of him; he responded that Jimmie Johnson had already told him about them, he was flattered, and they would "not hear from any lawyers".
