        The band garnered a large following in their hometown of Provo, Utah, before the members moved to Las Vegas, the hometown of Dan Reynolds, where the band recorded and released their first three EPs.

              I got my information from Wikipedia too! Deal with it yourself!

              Wayne Sermon heard Dan Reynolds performing at a club in Utah and approached him afterwards about his musical interests.[3][4] Reynolds invited him to join his band and to move to Las Vegas. Sermon then invited bassist Ben McKee to join the band in Las Vegas and drummer Daniel Platzman, also a friend of Wayne's from Berklee College of Music, finalized the group at the invitation of McKee.

                I will post it again. Maybe you missed it the first time. Maybe if I use some bold text.

                      The sentence then cites an article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal that states the band was formed in 2008 in Las Vegas. They may have played in Utah. They may have even garnered a fanbase there. But their hometown is, an always has been, Las Vegas.

                        Is it not true that they started out as a band by doing BYU's Battle of the Bands?

                          Imagine Dragons are very mainstream.

                            No. They formed the band in Las Vegas, and then went on to compete in (and win) the Battle of the Bands.

                                Oh by the way- let me be the one to submit Mark Schultz of Foxcatcher fame's name into this thread. Turns out he's LDS. Guess that was a no-brainer seeing as how he was the head coach at BYU for 6 years, but I don't remember that fact ever being brought up.

                                I noticed when he submitted a "correction" post or whatever online about things the movie got wrong, he did note that when Channing Tatum is drinking it up w the other wrestlers it was inaccurate due to his never having touched alcohol in his life.
