Dance Gavin Dance: Night of the Fruit Mafia/Dance of the Robot - Hardcover

Formed in Sacramento, California in 2005, Dance Gavin Dance - today comprised of vocalist/guitarist Andrew Wells, his fellow frontman Jon Mess, lead guitarist Will Swan and drummer Matthew Mingus - are a powerhouse of alternative music; true originals and originators alike, crafting an exhilarating cacophony of sounds and disparate styles that harmonizes everything from funk through metalcore to post-hardcore, pop sensibilities colliding with progressive, kaleidoscopic song structures. With four Billboard 200 Top 15 albums to their name and one of the most deeply fanatical fanbases in modern music fueling millions of record sales and billions of streams, Dance Gavin Dance are as at home on the world's most famous stages as they are hosting their own culture-defining annual festival, Swanfest. As the esteemed Rock Sound magazine attests: "There is no band on earth like Dance Gavin Dance." Emerging from a recent period of trauma and flux - the sudden passing of beloved longtime bassist Tim Feerick; along with various changes within the band's lineup - new album Pantheon finds Dance Gavin Dance refocused, rejuvenated and reenergized, reconnecting with the band's heavier, more experimental beginnings. "Pantheon is a testament to perseverance and the gratitude we feel today," Wells adds. "Being able to overcome everything that life hits you with, find your people - the people that you trust, people that you love, people that love you - and create art with them, whatever chaos the world has in store for you. It's about getting through the hardest times, getting back to basics, and making something that you love."
