On Sunday, November 25, 2007 Dance Gavin Dance was supposed to be making their way to Ybor with Heavy Heavy Low Low, Foxy Shazam and Tera Melos. I was excited about seeing them play, especially since the release of their newest album, Downtown Battle Mountain.
However, band drama got in the way.
November 9, 2007, the band posted a blog stating that the lead singer, Jonny Mess, was no longer a member.
The original blog is no longer posted on the band's MySpace page, but it went into heated detail about Jonny's drug abuse and argumentative nature:
"Unfortunately, after this much abuse we were unable to continue to let Jonny continue with his usual idiotic ways, and we left him in New Jersey and drove home..."
Because Jonny is no longer with the band, DGD quit the remainder of the tour.
They are, however, looking for a new singer, as stated in their blog.
I can't help but wonder if DGD will ever make it now after their trademark voice is gone.
Either way, my best wishes go out to the boys. I hope things work out for such a talented group.
