Dance Gavin Dance’s forthcoming album, “Downtown Battle Mountain 2”, is expected out in April via Rise. More details to come.
Former Dance Gavin Dance vocalist Kurt Travis recently commented on his departure from the band and being replaced by original vocalist Jonny Craig in a recent interview posted here. Travis comments:
“I definitely was never going to quit, so yeah, I got kicked out. The band told me that they were going to break up because they weren’t happy with it, but before they did they were going do a tour with Jonny and just do ‘Downtown Battle Mountain’ songs. Things didn’t really happen the way they told me it seems. Oh well.”
Dance Gavin Dance have parted ways with vocalist Kurt Travis, and will be recording their next album with original vocalists Jonny Craig (Emarosa) and Jon Mess, according to Alternative Press.
