Before adopting the name Bayonne, Austin musician Roger Sellers joined forces with fellow Austin band The Deer for this performance of “We Were There” for KUTX at UTOPiAfest in September 2015.

“We Were There” originally appeared on *Primitives*, which Sellers released under his own name through Austin label Punctum Records in 2014. The album brought his increasingly layered and experimental approach into focus, combining piano, percussion, electronics and repeating loops. Sellers later adopted the name Bayonne, and an expanded edition of *Primitives* was released by Mom + Pop Music in 2016.

For this KUTX pop-up session, The Deer add acoustic instrumentation and group harmonies to Sellers’ composition. The collaboration captures a particularly interconnected period in Austin music, with artists moving between solo projects, bands and one-of-a-kind festival performances.

Filmed during the seventh annual UTOPiAfest, in September 2015, at Four Sisters Ranch near Utopia, Texas.
