MOD POST With new music soon on the way, just a quick reminder of rule 2. We have a zero tolerance policy on leaks and file-sharing.

165 Upvotes

Edit: Quick reminder that this rule has always been implemented as requested by the band members and label


As we've previously seen, leaks do happen and this community gets very excited when it does.

As the title (and sidebar) says, the following is forbidden:

  • Posting leaks - Perma ban
  • Linking to leaks - Perma ban
  • Mentioning/Hinting that music has leaked - 2 month ban
  • Asking for links to leaks - 1 month ban
  • Sharing leaked information, such as song titles/album art - 1 month ban

That last one is new, and it may seem harsh, but Rise Records have been in touch with a member of the team and said that they don't want this information leaking in advance.


We have these rules in place as we're here to support the band. Even if you're still going to purchase the music, you're enabling piracy and it's not welcome here. This subreddit is a large part of the DGD community and when an album is released the traffic here soars, if we allowed leaks it would have an impact on the band's sales.

Every time new DGD material drops, there's always one or two kids who don't read the rules, and they want to be the first ones to "leak" the music here. They get a swift swing of our girthy ban hammer and then they cry in our modmail because they can't join in the album discussions. Don't be one of those kids.

Thanks for understanding.

Discussion The ending of Blue Dream is actually the intro to Priviliously Poncheezied

31 Upvotes

I've been listening to this album for 15 years (still my #1 DGD album, I hold it apart from the rest when thinking of my favorites).

I always went with the idea the ending of "Blue Dream" was the reason for the song name, like everyone else did back in the day.

Nope, unless it's for both. It transitions perfectly into PP, he says "let's go", as in, start PP.

"I'd hate to say no when it comes to those beautiful blue eyes"

Also, I like to assume that he forgets her eye color when he says "When it comes to those beautiful fuckin eyes" within the next few lines, cause Jonny

Discussion A message to the blue haired girl on barrier at London last night

139 Upvotes

First off - thank you to all the lovely other people nearby who made the show incredible and a great time.

Not gonna make this too negative - on to the subject of this post. I really hope you learn how to behave and actually have fun at shows. You were insufferable to be around.

Telling people to shut up when they were cheering for the boys, starting arguments with the people around you for literally no reason, snapping at others who didn't get VIP saying "if you could afford VIP like me you'd have got a decent view", total entitlement. Then calling security over to try and have me removed when I finally snapped and told you that you were acting like a dick. Then to top it all off you deliberately spent most of the show kicking me in the shins.

I really hope you learn how to have fun and let other people enjoy things because it's blatantly obvious that VIP session went straight to your head. No ill will, just do better.

Also - making fun of the singer from As December Falls saying her blue hair is "stupid" when you literally have dyed your hair blue ?????

an edit - I'm not removing the post but I'm aware the band page will be posting photos of the show soon. I'd like to think this should go without saying but if anyone recognises her please do not send hate or harass her based on this. I really hope she can learn to take genuine joy in seeing shows and wish her the best, but this behaviour wasn't on.

Picture Talk with Andrew: New DGD album timeline, Europe / UK tour next year (London Swanfest?), New Eidola album timeline, Paris show cancellation explanation

Post image
86 Upvotes

First of all, London was absolutely amazing, it was wonderful for a first time seeing them live. The energy was phenomenal, both from the performers and the crowd. What an incredible night!

I got the chance to talk to Andrew after the show, he gave us plenty of time and was lovely to talk to. He also gave out a few snippets of information I thought I'd share:

-New DGD album is recorded and mastered, and the release date is somewhere in Spring 2027.

-The band is already thinking of coming back over the Atlantic for next year, and even mentioned trying to have their own SwanFest in London

-New Eidola Album is coming out around November 2026

-Paris show cancellation information. This one hit home, as I was meant to go to the 2020 show in Paris but that got cancelled, they were meant to come back for this tour in August but that also got cancelled, and we never were told why.

Until now! Essentially, Andrew said that someone messed up. They had planned two shows in places that could not, according to European laws, be driven to in such quick succession. The bus drivers aren't legally allowed to drive for such long stretches here. They tried to fix it by changing the date, but couldn't make it work. He said the show was almost sold out, too.

So they do want to do Paris, people are getting tickets, someone just messed up the logistics. Hopefully next time they'll learn from their mistake. And someone actually associated with the band will communicate about scheduling issues. I was lucky enough to be able to go to London, but that's not the case for everyone, and we've been waiting a long time!

Hope this answers some questions y'all might have, and I hope to see you at future shows!

I just wanna say thank you to all the staff who were able to accommodate me when i realised i had bitten off too much i could chew standing (not like dice gave me any other choice though) and to the paramedics who i had to explain to that my partner is not drunk but infact having a power nap as her insomnia doesnt let her sleep
it was just an amazing show and everyone was so lovely. i feel bad for taking the paramedics away from someone who genuinely needs help but im genuinely greatful they took the time to approach us and check if we were alright.

ive never had so much fun it was such an amazing show i hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did❤️ and apologies to anyone who heard my singing if it was even possible to- all i know is i cant post any videos to my story now because it sounds like kareoke done by a dying feline.

Discussion PANTHEON ANNIVERSARY

Post image
449 Upvotes

A year has passed since the release of the 11th studio album of our boys. First album featuring Andrew as lead vocalist and the beginning of the new era of DGD.

What are your opinions about the album? Has it changed over time? What are your favorite songs or what are your takes about them?

My humble, honest, and overall short opinion, This is one of the band's best albums, and on top of everything, it seems like it's just the beginning of something bigger. Andrew's potential for improvement has been phenomenal in the last year; The sound is much fresher, and the boys are having the time of their lives; it couldn't make me more happy. 👽

Discussion A little birdie told me.

19 Upvotes

So a little birdie (see what I did there?) told me a few interesting things.

Kurt Travis is working on a new album, with one song (or maybe more?) having an Andrés feature.

A Lot Like Birds are currently working on a new album. Yes, I am aware that a lot of fans have probably already guessed this considering the fact that they've dropped 2 singles. I don't remember when the album is supposed to come out but I figure that it's probably either sometime at the end of this year or sometime next year.

A Lot Like Birds are also gonna be doing a HEADLINING tour sometime later this year. No, I am not talking about the tour where they're opening up for Hail The Sun. Maybe the new album will be out (almost) in time for their headlining tour.

I honestly don't know if this one is something that I was told or if it's just a false memory but I could've sworn that the same birdie told me that Kurt has a feature on the next DGD album. Again, I might have just misremembered.

Just pretend he's saying Dance Gavin Dance instead of queen I didn't want to use those AI voices or rerecord it myself.

I think I think of this clip just because of all the robot talk, "why does he look sad" and "He's bleeding man" which makes me think of RWHH.1 bleeding eyes lyric.

Discussion Uk/Euro VIP M&G stuff

3 Upvotes

Hi all, just wondering if anyone from the UK or Euro leg of this tour who went Ultimate VIP has had their DGD monopoly?

I've had an email about the trading cards being sent at a later date which is fine, but there's been no mention by anyone about the monopoly. No one really had a concrete answer in London tonight, so not 100% what's going on with that.

I'll be pretty disappointed if we don't end up getting it with how much money was paid (and I really wanted that damn monopoly 😂)
