Justin Roberts and Robb Mitchell met in high school, and a mutual love of music led them to create the band Streetlight Theatre, which also featured Shane Yasserie.[2] Under this name, they supported Kisschasy, Something with Numbers, Avalon Drive and Angelas Dish.[3] In 2006 they were joined by Tim Vickery on drums, and became The Take.[4]
The Take recorded their first single, Breathe, with Australian producer Greg Stace, and released it in April 2009.[5] Shortly after, they set off to perform in the Boost Mobile Rock The Schools Tour, starting on 4 May 2009 with Balwyn High School. They toured for four weeks, visiting 20 high schools in Victoria, Australia.[6] In October and November 2010, The Take toured extensively with Australian band Amy Meredith.[7] November 2010 saw them also touring with Thirsty Merc[8] and in January 2011, with For Our Hero.[9]
In April 2011, The Take played for the opening night of Star City Casino's new 'Rock Lily' venue in Sydney,[10][11] alongside Angela's Dish, Mending Melissa, and Frankie.[12]
