Nonstop movement as Dance Gavin Dance kills it at Stage AE!

The show starts off with post-hardcore band Wolf & Bear from Sacramento, CA. They warmed up the crowd with their upbeat attitude and energetic dancing on stage. This wasn’t their first time on tour with Dance Gavin Dance, so they definitely understood the assignment. Up next was rock band Eidola from Salt Lake City, UT. They kept the crowd going with hits Hidden Worship and Counterfeit Shrines off their recently released album Hidden Worship/Perennial Philosophy which came out back in August before closing out their set with The Comfort We Find In Our Vices off their 2015 album Degeneraterra. 

Following was Chicago, IL metalcore band Veil Of Maya. They put on a great performance and kept the crowd moving with the mix of their scream and clean vocals. They recently released a new single Viscera this past February via Sumerian Records. Next was Polyphia, a primarily instrumental progressive rock band from Plano, TX. They gave a nice change of pace to the show, nothing but good vibes during their set and easy to get caught up in their sound. 

Then the moment everyone was waiting for, as soon as Dance Gavin Dance hit the stage the crowd roared with excitement as they jumped right into Prisoner. Dance Gavin Dance, a rock band from Sacramento, CA played an absolute killer thirteen song set. Their set consisted of crowd favorites like Head Hunter, Nothing Shameful, and my personal favorite Death of a Strawberry. The crowd never stopped moving, between the pit and crowd surfing there was never a dull moment during their set. After putting on an incredible show they closed out the night with their song Inspire The Liars. There are still plenty of dates left on this tour so definitely make time to check out the show if they come to a city near you, you won’t regret it!
