Dance Gavin Dance have announced their long awaited return to the UK for May 2011, when they will bring their original line up to England for the very first time, giving Brit fans their first opportunity to hear songs from the band’s revered first EP and acclaimed early albums, Downtown Battle Mountain and Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean the way they were meant to be heard.
The band have reunited in this line-up after five long years to record a new album together with original singer Jonny Craig (Emarosa, Isles & Glaciers, Jonny Craig solo). The highly anticipated new record, entitled Downtown Battle Mountain Pt. II, will be released in 28th March 2011 through Rise Records and was produced by Kris Crummet, the man behind the desk of the band’s 2007 breakthrough opus, Downtown Battle Mountain.
