Share live clip of ‘Man Of The Year’
From Tree Sessions 2 streaming event In Hometown Of Sacramento

 Sacramento chart topping, genre defying quintet, Dance Gavin Dance have announced the physical release of their live album, ‘Tree City Sessions 2’, recorded at their hugely successful global streaming event of the same name that aired on December 19th of last year and was one of the top selling streams of 2020 in the rock category. The “Tree City Sessions 2” album was released digitally on December 25th last year as a holiday surprise for fans. In the 3 months since its digital release, the album has clocked up a whopping 8.5 million global streams and is now available to pre-order on both vinyl and CD via Rise Records by clicking here. In celebration of the physical pre-order release of ‘Tree City Sessions 2’, Dance Gavin Dance have also released the first live clip from the fan voted setlist at their epic, hometown streaming event for track “Man Of The Year”.

 The “Tree City Sessions 2” streaming event was produced in association with Danny Wimmer Presents and saw the band end an enormously successful year with a bang. Performing a fan-voted setlist featuring deep cuts that had never been played live before, the band and their team shut down iconic home town landmark, the Sacramento Tower Bridge for a mind-blowing, in the round performance, featuring an incredible light show, multi-cam and drone footage all backdropped by the beautiful Sacramento skyline.

 Rejecting tired formulas at every step, Dance Gavin Dance merge progressive rock and post-hardcore with thick groove, brilliantly combining experimental music with hooks and a warped sense of humor. The group has amassed over 1 billion global streams, and 1 million album equivalent units sold across their catalog in the US alone. With hundreds of thousands of rabid fans engaged with Dance Gavin Dance on socials and their very own festival event, Swanfest, which sold out its inaugural edition in 2019 and is slated to return, once it is safe to do so, in 2021, it all amounts to a full force band facing a mainstream that has overlooked them for too long.

Dance Gavin Dance released their ninth studio album, Afterburner, earlier this year which has already clocked up 79 million streams since release and topped a multitude of charts on two separate occasions, once with it’s digital release hitting #1 across the Current Albums, Alternative, Billboard Top Albums, Digital, Current Digital Albums, Rock, Heavy Rock and Current Independent Albums charts and #14 on the Billboard Top 200 and again when the physical version was released several months later due to the pandemic, when it hit #1 across Vinyl, Internet, Alternative, Rock, Hard Music, Independent Current Albums, #3 Top Current and Billboard Top Albums and #47 on the Billboard 200 charts.

In the heady tradition of Frank Zappa and Nirvana – people who made serious art without ever seeming self-serious – Dance Gavin Dance is a band that does what they want, how they want, confident that the audience will keep up. “Tree City Sessions 2” is another in a long line of wildly creative, boundary pushing endeavors by one of modern music’s most brilliant and unique musical forces.
