dance gavin dance / comments

Look up Victoria's Secret Band on Youtube.  It has Mess, Lodge, Craig,
Swan, Mingus, and Garren, (So basically it's old Dance Gavin Dance) just a jam session though, although Garren did say
they might record some stuff a while down the road.

were better with Jonny. BUT, i think that since they are taking a new turn from how they used to be, they sound emaculate.  the self-titled album was just an epic fail in my opinion.  it seemed like they were trying too hard to be like how they used to.  with different members comes a different sound, and happiness proved that.  i'm a big fan of them (seeing as i got a tattoo of the Brontosaurus, it's on their Myspace), and i'm looking forward to seeing what they have to bring to the table.

You Guys are one of the best bands in the world :D never give up

These guys are talented and original in every piece they do...I've never heard anything like it :D
They're great. They mix a hint of hardcore drums with wailing guitars, the powerful bass, and screaming in the background, with R&B vocals in the lead...it reminds me a little of beauty and the beast. Great Band, Awesome tunes...If you like Fall of Troy and Ghost Runner and Third.
Buy both of their albums but purchase Downtown Battle Mountain first :) it's hella catchy...
BUT and A BIG ONE...
The fire that made this sextet the uber elite band that they were is gone! The departure of Jon Mess, Johnny Craig, Eric Lodge and Sean O'Sullivan leaves me wondering if i'll enjoy their new stuff the same. The truth is its not the same...their new stuff is okay but not the same! It is not in the same name of the original Dance Gavin Dance material we, (old fans), are accustomed to. Mingus changed his drumming but it's still pretty amazing, The guitar riffs are also in catchy in abundance this time...Kurt Travis is good and with the introduction of Will as screamer makes this band sound like a funky alternative to the bands out on the scene today. I still feel that after their release of the self-titled, "Death Star" album, they should just do justice to the band by changing the band name to something else.

I LOVE dgd, definitely one of my all-time favourite bands.
They're one of the catchiest sounds I've ever heard, and I liked the self title album just as much as their old stuff. Both have an amazingly unique sound that gets better every time you listen to it.
The most recent album, Happiness, was a bit disappointing, and could have had more work put into it.
Not too bad live, I just wish that they would play more from Dance Gavin Dance and less from Happiness.
If people want Johnny Craig, go listen to Emarosa, considering John Mess is now touring with them. They'll sound exactly like the old DGD.

the profile is not up to date jonny is not the vocalist any more he is in emarosa now and there new sings name is dave and they have other new members aswell

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dance Gavin Dance is so cool! I loved watching them in Santa Cruz and Sacramento!! It's so cool that they're from around here because my brother know Matt and I was walking home from school and actually ran into Matt myself! Haha.
I think they're best song is Open Your Eyes and Look North and they're new cd is pretty cool too!

I love dgd. They are sick as hell live. I would soooo go see them again.

I love the song And I told them I Invented....

Nah, downtown battle mountain is their definite best album and will be unless johnnys vocals seranade dgd again. But tidal waves is their best song, in my opinion.
