Rise

Dance Gavin Dance is a post-hardcore band hailing from Sacramento, US. Formed in 2005, the band has undergone several lineup changes throughout their career. The current members include Jon Mess on unclean vocals, Matt Mingus on drums, Will Swan on lead guitar and rap/backing vocals, Tilian Pearson on vocals, and Andrew Wells on rhythm guitar/vocals.

With influences ranging from emo to funk to progressive rock, Dance Gavin Dance has carved out a unique sound that sets them apart from other bands in the genre. Their music is characterized by intricate instrumentals, catchy melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics.

Some of their notable former members include Alvaro Alcala and Sean O'Sullivan on rhythm guitar, Jason Ellis on bass guitar, Zachary Garren on rhythm guitar, Kurt Travis as lead vocalist, Eric Lodge and Jonny Craig as vocalists/bassists at different times. Sadly Tim Feerick passed away in 2022 after being with the band as a bassist for two separate periods.

At the end of December 2020, Dance Gavin Dance blew anyone (and everyone!) out of the live streaming arena. They only went and got Sacramento’s Tower Bridge shutdown (aka the US equivalent of the iconic bridge in London of the same name) so they could throw down Tree City Sessions 2 live stream and album – the follow up to 2016’s Tree City Sessions live album. Tree City Sessions 2 delivers over an hour of musical twists and turns coupled with high-energy, seamless interludes and an all-around phenomenal display of music and sound. It’s almost a shame it ends and when it does, you’ll be screaming “again, again” like the Teletubbies by the time last track, Nothing Shameful, gives you one last eargasm. It’s the first time the band has ever performed it and hopefully not the last. Whilst the release will score mega points with the hardcore Dance Gavin Dance contingent, Tree City Sessions 2 would also serve as an excellent intro and starting point for those less familiar with the band’s material. Spanning no less than nine (!) of the bands’ albums plus the added live element, this truly showcases the band at their best.
