On Dec. 19, Dance Gavin Dance took over the historic Tower Bridge in their hometown of Sacramento for a special virtual livestream. During the Tree City Sessions Volume 2 performance, Dance Gavin Dance played various hits and even let fans curate the show’s entire setlist.
Drummer Matt Mingus exclusively told Alternative Press that this recent livestream was special for Dance Gavin Dance. Why? Well, it helped make up for their postponed tour dates and annual Swanfest.
“It feels really good honestly, and it was unexpected without Swanfest,” he says. “I don’t know what we could do, and [we were] talking about livestreams prior to this Tower Bridge thing. We were trying to think of how to do it in a cool venue or a studio setting. Getting to use the elements of our actual city as the backdrop for the livestream is really cool and definitely a nice surprise for the way that this year was going.”
