Not long after they signed the contract, Gavin and Billy got an appearance on the UK version of one of MTV's most popular shows, Total Request Live.

Gavin says that when he got home that night, he Googled syllable and brains to see what people were saying about them.

One comment read, I had a fight with Gavin Bain in a chip shop once.

Wasn't in America, though.

This was Dundee.

Your man's a Scotch.

Gavin says he and Billy got called into Sony's offices the next day.

But when they got there, nobody said anything about them being from Scotland.

Instead, Gavin says, they got the news that MTV wanted them to come back soon, and that there was even some interest in them hosting their own show.

They started working on show ideas and going to meetings with TV producers.

Gavin says Sony decided to wait to release Syllable and Brains' first single until something happened with the TV show.

And in the meantime, Syllable and Brains was touring as much as they could.

By the end of the tour, they were exhausted.

Gavin says he went to bed as soon as they got home at 6 a.m.

We'll be right back.

A couple of hours after Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd heard they'd be going on tour with Eminem and his group D12, a tour bus picked them up to take them to the first venue.

They were excited, but Gavin says they also spent the whole ride trying to figure out what to do.

But Gavin says they just went with it.

They high fived again and agreed to meet up after the show.

Gavin and Billy had never performed on such a large stage, in front of such a huge audience, almost 5,000 people.
