The Voltaire Twins story began in 2008, when the then two-piece, consisting of siblings Jaymes and Tegan won the Triple J Unearthed Parklife competition.

The then-two-piece band was swept up onto the festival circuit, playing at Parklife, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Groovin the Moo, Good Vibrations, Summadayze and One Movement for Music.
