Dance Gavin Dance part ways with lead singer

Sacramento post-hardcore act Dance Gavin Dance have announced the departure of lead singer Jonny Craig. The message, posted on the band's myspace, points (in explicit detail) to Craig's alcoholism and drug use as the reason for the break.
After the saints and sinners festival last weekend our singer Jonny quit the band. The situation arose after he failed to show up to the majority of our first song, "and I told them I invented times new roman," in front of 2,000 or so people. He then proceeded to continue his drug and alcohol binge of the previous night, making a fool out of himself in front of our friends and other bands. Later in the night he got in an argument with our merch guy and tour manager as well as a member of the band and decided he would quit the band. We attempted to reason with him, but we only could say that he was done and moved his heavily drugged self to a friends hotel room. This is a typical series of events for our band, and Jonny has quit and rejoined the band in the morning numerous times. Unfortunately after this much abuse we were unable to continue to let Jonny continue with his usual idiotic ways, and we left him in new jersey and drove home.

The band is currently searching for a new singer so that they can move forward with plans to begin recording their follow up to this year's Downtown Battle Mountain.
