The DGB has no problem going against the grain in search of an awesome venue. Even if their latest tour to Newfoundland costs them a little extra time and money, lead singer Daniel Greer said all that East Coast hospitality will make it worthwhile.
"We're really trying to pick up the pace and set the band as a priority and keep playing and get out there as much as possible," he said in a phone interview.
The Peterborough, ON-based rock band is set to embark on a six-week tour of Atlantic Canada next month, with pit stops in Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John.
The nine-year-old band is comprised of Greer and brother Jon on vocals and guitar, with Steve Jackett and Jamie Robinson covering percussion duties. They are promoting their latest album, Victory Song. They've also got a new video for the grim but ultimately uplifting single Rise Again, a fusion of classic rock and 90's grunge that highlights Greer's half-hoarse, half-wailing Cobain-esque vocals.
Cynics might write the DGB off as another Nivana/Pearl Jam knockoff, but the group's got classic rock grit, and even a touch of emo to set it apart.
Greer said he and the band are looking forward to playing for crowds that suit their style - shows at the Sunstar Lounge in Saint John and The Garrison in Fredericton are right up their alley.
"We consider ourselves party music and they like to party out there, right?" said Greer.
