Any fans of these guys here? Some damned fine avant-garde metal here. It's metal, mixed with swing music, circus music, merry-go-round themes, and much more. For those who haven't heard, prepare to have your mind blown:

I fucking love this band.

There are enough fans of them here I've been meaning to check them out.

Listening to your first link for the third time. I love this!

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #3 on:** March 06, 2011, 09:00:59 PM »

That's great! The second link is a little bit more of an acquired taste than the first, but it's great too.

OMG this band is awesome! Thanks for introducing me to them

I need to acquire more of them

SPNKr · « **Reply #5 on:** March 06, 2011, 09:07:24 PM »

I'm gonna collect the rest of their discography which is apparently 1 full length and an EP.

Their latest album has still got an awesome name.

No problem.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #7 on:** March 06, 2011, 09:13:25 PM »

yes. Still awaiting word about their upcoming album.

SPNKr · « **Reply #8 on:** March 06, 2011, 09:20:49 PM »

^ A new album is in the works?

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #9 on:** March 06, 2011, 09:21:23 PM »

^
Yup. The most specific thing I've heard is spring of this year. Not completely sure if thats true, though.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 06, 2011, 10:14:18 PM »

Great, great band. I also can't wait for the new album!

PixelDream · « **Reply #11 on:** March 07, 2011, 03:00:02 AM »

I saw/heard them live on a summer festival, they were horrible. The sun was shining, everyone was having a good time. And then, there they were. Horrible vocals, unoriginal rythms, ugly guitar sounds. I like metal, but I know 100% sure it was DSO, and that I didn't like it one bit.

SPNKr · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2011, 03:23:17 AM »

^ You sir, are a fool.

I, for one, can enjoy this band even more so now because I'm getting into jazz guitar and understanding how that sort of music really works in theory. So d:s:o will be of relevance to my tastes now.

ich bin besser · « **Reply #13 on:** March 07, 2011, 06:16:39 AM »

Saw them once - and they were awesome! https://entertainment.webshots.com/album/575519789ytjIGw?navtype=search
And yeah, new album is in the works.

What sucks is that I'm still waiting for a shirt I ordered at the beginning of November... It's not the band's fault, though.

arguably, they were the best band to play at ProgPower USA in 2009.

jsem · « **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2011, 08:15:24 AM »

They are amazing. One of the favorite band of my family. My dad usually doesn't like metal - but he absolutely LOVES DSO.

AMAZING BAND

I've been listening to their butcher's ballroom album all morning working out and making breakfast. So awesome!

Butcher's Ballroom is great.

I prefer Sing-Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious, but they both kick ass.

SPNKr · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2011, 04:57:14 PM »

I didn't know their EP contains the exact songs that are on TBB. I scrapped the EP and now I've got TBBallroom now for the first time. Is good.

Volk9 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2011, 12:54:28 AM »

Bumping because I randomly remembered the name of the band and decided to get their latest album.

In short, im very very impressed. Awesome music going on in here. They should be much more known

SPNKr · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2011, 04:32:07 AM »

^Well done, son.

Diablo Swing Orchestra call it quits...

Long time with no updates - we know.

The reason is that many of us have been pursuing other interests during the down-time from touring and we simply can't find the motivation to keep going. We would like to thank everybody for the support during the years.
...
Daniel, Pontus, Andy, AnnLouice, Johannes & Petter

They nearly got me...

This better be some cruel, sick, twisted April Fools Joke.

If that happened for real, I'd be really sad

Gorille85 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 01, 2011, 03:29:41 PM »

It's an April fool, obviously.

I have Sing Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious and its such a fun album.

April Fool's...

Like many of you already guessed we're not disbanding. On the contrary we will finally start some serious rehearsing. The schedule have been pushed back but we're working hard to make sure there will be a new DSO album out in 2011.

On another note the vinyl editions of "Butcher's..." and "Sing along..." are available for pre-ordering at this location:
