The Scones (rhyming with 'cons') are an Auckland/Hamilton based, Flying Nun influenced indie-pop band, fronted by guitarist Julian White (guitar, vocals). They played their first gig in October 2012 at Static in Hamilton, while their first Auckland gig was at Tabac Bar in August 2013. Several early demo recordings were released on Soundcloud prior to their first gig, and their debut EP, The Trouble with Thompson, was recorded in January 2015 and released on 28 March 2016. On 4 November 2016, the band were featured on bFM's 'Fancy New Band' slot on the Breakfast Show.
The band can trace its origins back to the 1980s, when White and guitarist Greg Edwards attended high school together, at Northcote College, Auckland; the two were in a band together at the time called Limited Western Art, and played together later while at University in Auckland in Yorkie the Bricklayer. The songs Weeds, Thompson is in Trouble and Ode to the Mountains, all performed and/or recorded by The Scones, were originally 'Yorkie' songs.
