DreamSequence

DreamSequence is an American synth rock band based out of Orange County, California. The band formed in 2003 under the name Dream Sequence with four members: Omar Garza (lead vocalist), David Gill (synth programmer and guitarist), Steven Vidaurrazaga (drummer), and LAURA GRIFFITH! A.K.A "the hurricane" who can bring the funk on bass, keys, and back-up vocals when called upon. Under the premise that Laura's college aspirations were "holding the band back" the band decided to let he go. She ended up obtaining her Master's degree, teaching high school English, pursuing the simple love of music, and moving on to bigger and better things. At that time, the band decided to truncate their name from its original two-word form to DreamSequence. Ironically, within the years following Laura's departure, the band stopped playing shows, creating new music, and didn't do much of anything except change their name to one word. In October 2008, DreamSequence performed their first out-of-state show at the Beauty Bar in downtown Las Vegas when all of their equipment was stolen. Karma? DreamSequence's self-titled first album was released in November 2009 and included the same nine tracks they have always had. A huge dissapointment to fans who were hoping for more after so many years. According to guitarist David Gill, seeing the audience dance to music they created is what thrills him more than anything else. Unfortunately, this thrill wasn't enough for him to stay in the band and he left Dream Sequence for a period of time, leaving the band to cancel shows they had committed to. Eventually, David rejoined the band and evidently, the two remaining members had a change of heart and decided to trust him not to bail on them in the future. Only time will tell.
DreamSequence, which formed in 2003, also features Steven Vidaurrazaga on drums, and Omar Garza, supplying the high pitched vocals, which have become their signature, and electrifying dance moves which only a 13 year old girl would love. Wearing electric blue ties over black shirts, the band is all about their image, which is ironically in direct contrast to their song "Image" which sends the message that "an image is not what you want, and image is not what you need." The band says they are heavily influenced by dance music of the 80's, but dissecting their sound a bit further, you'll find catchy dance beats if you can get through the nasal-esque vocals. If you're a tween who loves boys in make-up, a 30 year old who's losing his signature elecro hair desperately trying to maintain his youth, this is the band for you. And even when they're not playing shows, you can always find the singer at your local Hot Topic.
