Hailing from California, lead singer Matt Ernst and drummer Ethan Wallace brought their respective talents to New Orleans, where their love child, Dana Ives, was born. In 2022, Louisiana bassist Taylor Law joined the group.Dana Ives is best described as the musical sweet spot where lucid, screeching guitar melodies lay overtop aggressively raw drums and vocals, providing the perfect marriage of experimental rock and post-punk.The bands sound reflects Ernsts upbringing in the Los Angeles garage-rock circuit and Wallaces experience drumming in the California hardcore scene. Combined with Laws raw, aggressive bass techniques and the bands love for synthesizers and samples, Dana Ives creates a unique and dynamic experience that separates them from other alternative bands.Dana Ives regularly performs in New Orleans andhas several festivals and US tours on their list of accomplishments. Their August 2022 record, So Happy Its Time, marks a higher level of aggression and rhythm not heard in full form on their previous work.Former bassist, synth player, and great friend Nathan Kaplan contributed to the formation of Dana Ives and all work through So Happy Its Time.
