Drop Dead, Gorgeous

Drop Dead, Gorgeous

Drop Dead, Gorgeous is a six-member post-hardcore/metalcore band from Denver, Colorado. Their name is a play on the phrase "drop dead gorgeous", and was not taken from the movie of the same name. They released their first EP entitled Be Mine, Valentine in January 2006, followed by their first full length album in May 2006, In Vogue. They could only tour for 3 months across the U.S. and through Canada a year due to the fact that their members hadn't graduated high school yet. News also broke out on October 20th, 2006, on Rise Records' website, that they recently signed to Geffen/Suretone Records, and their new record would be produced by Ross Robinson. They filmed a music video for "Dressed for Friend Requests" when they played their homecoming show in Denver over their last 2006 tour before heading into the studio to record the follow up to In Vogue. The new record entitled "Worse Than A Fairy Tale" will be released on August 14th 2007, and was leaked on the internet on July 31th. The band has seen some lineup shifts since August 2006 after 2 years of having the same six members, however as of June 2007 the original lineup was intact again.

Tour

In June of 2007, Drop Dead, Gorgeous played along with fellow Rise Records label mates The Devil Wears Prada, Dance Gavin Dance, and At The Throne of Judgment on the Rise Records tour. From July 18 to July 22, they will also be playing a series of shows in Mexico, before joining the Vans Warped Tour 2007, playing dates from July 25 to August 25. In the duration of their touring in Warped Tour, they will not be playing in their hometown of Denver, Colorado.
