Gavin says he'd never sweated so much as he did when they went on stage that night, and that once they got going, he never wanted it to end.

They ended the set with a song they hoped would become their hit single, called Losers.

It was everything they had dreamed of.

And then, after the show, Gavin and Billy's lawyer pulled them aside.

Gavin and Billy's lawyer had been asking them for their American passports for months and months.

They always told him they couldn't find them and that they'd get them to him later.

And then he saw the posts on the hip-hop forum after their appearance on MTV, saying that they were actually Gavin and Billy from Scotland, not Syllable and Brains from California.

Billy and Gavin kept touring and playing pack shows.

And their MySpace page started filling up with messages from fans.

They got an endorsement deal with a soda company.

Gavin had developed a stomach ulcer.

Gavin was barely talking to his family.

He says it took him out of character.

His girlfriend in Dundee had broken up with him after a visit during which he'd mostly spoken in an American accent.

And he and Billy were drifting apart.

Billy was going back to Scotland more often to visit his girlfriend.

And then he found out she was pregnant.

Gavin says everything changed after that.

Billy had had enough.

I mean, how did you announce it to the fans?
