Dance Gavin Dance have once again paid tribute to their late bassist Tim Feerick. this time with a new single titled “The Ghost Of Billy Royalton“. The song’s online debut follows it’s live debut last night (August 24th) oat the opening date of the band’s summer/fall U.S. headlining tour.
Guitarist/vocalist Will Swan commented:
“I made this video as a tribute to Tim, just as the song is. I made sure to incorporate Jurassic park and Star Wars which were 2 of his favorite things. This is the kind of thing I would make and just share with him and my friends. But because he’s not here, I’m sharing it with you all.”
