The Take recorded their first single, Breathe, with Australian producer Greg Stace, and released it in April 2009.[1] 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.[4] In October and November 2010, The Take toured extensively with Australian band Amy Meredith.[5] November 2010 saw them also touring with Thirsty Merc[6] and in January 2011, with For Our Hero.[7]
