Dance Gavin Dance cancels UK/European tour and more

Due to doctors orders the band will be taking a month off

On doctor's orders, Californian post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance has had to cancel its immediate tour plans, which include their upcoming European tour and the band's Louder Than Life appearance. The group's screaming frontman Jon Mess has been told to rest his voice for a month, according to a statement released today.

The Dance Gavin Dance boys have had a turbulent year. In April, bassist Tim Feerick died from a suspected overdose, and just two months later, co-vocalist Tillian Pearson was accused of sexual misconduct and stepped away from the band. As a result of those allegations, Coheed and Cambria and Mothica dropped the band from their tour.

Even so, Dance Gavin Dance broke into the top ten with Jackpot Juicier, debuting at 8th on the Billboard 200.  Over 33K equivalent album units were sold in the band's first week.

All could've been avoided if you had just stuck by Tillian instead of caving to a bunch of obviously lying thots. Get f*cked.

This is what happens when someone is straining to hit the notes. Maybe it's time to recruit a real singer or just hang it up because this whole band is cursed.

A billboard top 10 these days is like 3k units. Don't even act like it's the same flex it was in 1997.

Rest his voice from all that dick in his mouth. See what I did there? Gay joke. Boom.

Good. Don't let they spread more monkeypox.

anonymous 6 hours ago ^they did 33k first week. learn to read, dork That's still mediocre in comparison to when those charts mattered. Also you're in this garbage band and it shows

Get woke and kick out your vocalist for a fake allegation, go broke

anonymous 9/3/2022 3:05:10 PM

Must be from Tillian practicing what he's gonna do to all those female fans on tour, got a little excited, and thrust a bit too deep down homeboys throat. I heard camomile tea with honey can help.
