Dance Gavin Dance announces new album Tree City Sessions 3; North American tour kicks off
Dance Gavin Dance has announced the upcoming release of Tree City Sessions 3, a new collection featuring updated versions of fan favorites from the band’s extensive catalog. The album is scheduled for digital release via Rise Records on May 22, with a full physical retail release to follow on June 19.
To coincide with the announcement, the band has released a new version of “The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 3,” a track originally featured on their 2008 self-titled album.
“The entire Tree City Sessions series has given us the opportunity to showcase each lineup’s strengths on various songs throughout the entire catalog,” said vocalist Andrew Wells. “Being able to emulate Kurt and bring my own passion to this version of Robot 3 was truly an honor.”
The announcement comes as the band begins a two-month North American headline tour tonight in Austin. The run features special guests The Fall Of Troy, Horse The Band, Wolf & Bear, and Novelists, with stops scheduled for Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York City, and Nashville. A limited edition tour variant of the new album will be available at shows starting May 22 while stocks last.
Formed in Sacramento, California, in 2005, the group—currently comprised of Wells, Jon Mess, Will Swan, and Matthew Mingus—is also touring in support of their 11th full-length record, Pantheon. The new album serves as a follow-up to 2022’s Jackpot Juicer and marks a return to the band’s heavier, more experimental roots.
In addition to the headlining tour, Dance Gavin Dance is slated to perform at several festivals this year, including Sonic Temple and select dates of the Vans Warped Tour.
