The June Junes are a band formed by Sam Woldenberg (aka Jacbern) and his twin brother Max. They were born in Monterrey, Mexico, on June 23, 1992[1] in the Hospital San José. They moved to San Antonio, Texas[2] where they attended San Antonio Academy,[1] and moved to Los Angeles at age 14. They chose their name because they were born in June, they are twins (that's why the double "June"), and also because they call their grandmother June. Growing up, they listened to songs by Juan Gabriel and Luis Miguel. Some of their other influences include The Beatles, U2, Soda Stereo, and Mana.[2]
