Dance Gavin Dance is a five-piece Post-hardcore band from Sacramento, California.
History
Dance Gavin Dance was formed out of the dissolution of several other bands, including Farewell Unknown, Ghost Runner on Third, Atherton and former Rise Records band Five Minute Ride.[2] Jonny Craig and Sean O'Sullivan joined in 2005 and early 2006 to complete the lineup. They released their first self-produced EP on November 14, 2006, entitled Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean through Rise Records.
They entered the studio again in January 2007 with Kris Crummet, who produced Drop Dead, Gorgeous and Fear Before the March of Flames, and released their first full length CD, Downtown Battle Mountain on May 15, 2007 on Rise Records. In August 2007, guitarist Sean O'Sullivan quit the band due to personal conflicts between himself and the band, as well as a change of direction in music. He went on to play for the band Consider the Thief. Sean was replaced by Zac Garren, who prior to joining the band, was on tour with them selling their merchandise. In November 2007, lead singer Jonny Craig left the band due to extreme tensions as stated by the band in an interview by Submergemag.com, and since joined Emarosa.[3] Kurt Travis, formerly of Five Minute Ride, O! The Joy, and No Not Constant became the band's new lead vocalist. On April 20, 2008[citation needed] Dance Gavin Dance entered the studio to record their self-titled album, which was released on August 19, 2008.[4] The album was SmartPunk.com's "Smartpick of the Month" of August 2008, and the website offered a stream of the entire album from August 17 to August 20.[5][6][7] Two original members, Jonathan Mess and Eric Lodge, have also recently left Dance Gavin Dance. Jonathan Mess left the band abruptly after recording the self-titled album. Eric Lodge, whom also recorded on the self-titled album, quit the band sometime soon after Jonathan left. There have been no formal announcements from the band citing why Eric has left the band. Will Swan (Guitar) has taken up screaming duties on tour, and Jason Ellis (formerly of Five Minute Ride) is now playing bass. The band filmed a music video for the song "Me and Zoloft Get Along Just Fine" with Director Robby Starbuck. It was released November 18th, 2008.
