SeeYouSpaceCowboy under fire for Dance Gavin Dance tour support slot

Update: It appears SeeYouSpaceCowboy has removed all posts regarding the recent Dance Gavin Dance tour. This action comes shortly following vocalist Connie Sgarbossa's social media post about possibly leaving the band.

It should be noted the band has not made a formal announcement about the tour.


Following the recent Dance Gavin Dance tour announcement, fans of California post-hardcore band SeeYouSpaceCowboy have voiced their critiques of the band online for their support slot.

Some are calling them hypocritical for accepting a tour with Dance Gavin Dance due to their controversial handling of former frontman Tilian Pearson, especially because SeeYouSpaceCowboy kicked Roman Candle off their recent tour due to allegations. SeeYouSpaceCowboy have long been known as supportive to victims of abuse within the scene.

One fan voiced their outrage at this alleged hypocrisy: 

 

While another brought into question the image that they present as "safe for marginalized [people]", calling it a façade: 

 

Texas record label ds//fp records brought up a previous incident that hinted at possible wrongdoing from the band. They referenced a story from SeeYouSpaceCowboy's early days, in which they allegedly mistreated a label that put out their first split EP:

I remember when Pattern Recognition Records was ran by two transgirls that put on for dozens of artists including the first SYSC split. they were treated really poorly by the band and began to call it out but ended up getting bullied into spiraling n dissolving the label entirely

 

 

Connie Sgarbossa, vocalist and front-woman of SeeYouSpaceCowboy, made matters worse by taking to X with the following statement after facing backlash from fans: 

Believe me, there is no part of me as an individual that backs this either

 

 

This response leaves more questions than answers as fans wonder if possible label pressure forced the band to accept the tour offer.
