The band has said that the reason they get knocked for not having a wild stage presence is because they try really hard to make the live show sound as close to the studio as possible.

The best part of this show was the countdown to start. It was just Jon Mess sitting in his bedroom eating a plate of rice and beans and staring in to his webcam, occasionally petting his cat. My brother and I were dyingggg

They’re my favorite band. Full stop. It warms my hearts to see other people enjoy them as much as I do, especially when it’s analyzed by someone else that plays music. Please PLEASE *PLEASE* keep journeying with Dance Gavin Dance. If I were to choose next: 1. “And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman” (Jonny Craig on vox) 2. “Tree Village” (Kurt Travis on vox, Will Swan on heavy vox) Or 3. “Son of Robot” (Tilian on vox) Have a fantastic day!

Matt Mingus the drummer, Jon Mess, the unclean vocalist and Will Swan the lead guitarist have been in the band since the beginning around 2005, their synergy is unparalleled at this point, then Tillian and the Bassist Tim Ferrick joined around the same time in 2013 which coincidentally was when I became a big fan.

"What are they gunna do next?" - DGD in a nutshell

Hearing Tillian on record you'd immediately think, "No way he can do this live." I still don't know how he does it. I've never been a huge fan of his songwriting but he's a force vacally.

Whatever he may have been feeling internally, I'm still grateful Tim got to experience this peak with the band before his passing. RIP

My 11 year old noticed they are playing part of the song backwards at the beginning. We had tickets to see them last year and it was canceled. We watched this on our projector with the kids. It was fun! DGD is a favorite in our house.

"Uneasy Hearts Weight the Most". You can check out the performance, where all of the vocalists come back to play it live

Tillian in particular is extremely talented AND extremely skilled. His vocal performances live and in studio are NUTS and blow so many singers from any genre out of the water.

While She Sleeps - YOU ARE ALL YOU NEED pleeeeeaaaassseeee. one of the most unique guitar riffs

Your enthusiasm and enjoyment of Dance Gavin Dance made for an awesome reaction video! Love DGD! Have been listening to them since earlier on in their career. I saw them live back in May for the first time and it was an amazing show! Also your ability to hear music for the first time and instantly be able to play it on piano is very impressive!

This is literally my all time favorite band, I could listen to only them and be happy, not even gonna lie. I love that you love them so much! I feel like they don't get the love they deserve.

I love that during this entire video especially towards the end you can see that Jon is super relaxed when he's screaming because it means the sound he's making is really healthy and he's not hurting his voice at all.

There's a live version of their song "We Own the Night" on KZread from Warped Tour 2017 that is super high quality that you should react to. Tilian gets up to an Eb on the chorus, it's insane.

That addition of the piano just made this go up so many notches... petition for you to feature on a performance of this song!
