Drumroll Please...

As you now know, Seth has taken a job promotion that unfortunately requires him to leave the band. This was not an easy thing for him to do, or for the rest of us to endure, but as they say, "the show must go on".


Please join us in welcoming Reginald Brown a the new drummer for DFR!  He has a ton of experience, and has now taken over the position as the youngest member of the band. He blew us away with his audition and will be starting with us officially in July! We're excited to see the growth and change that is to come.

So if you'd like to part with Seth one more time, come out before the end of June!

Ever wanted to be a member of DFR?! ... Part 2

As much as it saddens us to say, another original member of the band is moving on. Having been with us for just over 9 years (since the beginning), Seth has an opportunity to advance with his dream career in videography/photography that has forced him to make the tough decision to leave the band. As much as we want to keep him, we realize that this is a huge step that he not only wants to take, but needs to take for his career.


That being said, we will be auditioning drummers. There is not a hard deadline at the present time, but the sooner the better. Obviously this is a full-time gig and requires a big commitment, but if you or someone you know desires to fill the spot, please email us with your name, age, location, and experience. If you have any videos of yourself playing, that would be very helpful as well. You must be 21+ with your own gear, and reliable transportation.

When One Door Closes...

As most of you know by now, one of our original members, Joe, has chosen to leave the band.  His last official show with the band will be our New Years Eve show. Although he will be missed by many, we had scour the city in hopes of finding a suitable replacement. This was no easy task. Not only did the new member need to be able to learn and play our show within a couple months, but they had to "fit in". You all know we take pride in not taking ourselves too seriously. We needed someone who wasn't offended by our sense of humor, had similar interests, and just wants to play music to entertain not only the crowds, but also ourselves. 


We went through a handful of auditions. Some really impressed us. Others, not so much. But at the end, we all unanimously agreed on the same person. Please help us in welcoming Shamar Jordan as the newest member of DFR!  He has years of experience, and his happiness, positive attitude, and drive are infectious. Starting in 2018 you'll be able to experience all that is Shamar! 

Ever wanted to be a member of DFR?!

There comes a time in most peoples’ lives when they have to step back, evaluate, and make life-altering decisions to hopefully better themselves. Sometimes that means walking away from someone or something you love, which is never easy. It’s a huge leap of faith, and trusting it’s the right decision is a very tough pill to swallow.

As you may already suspect, a member of DFR is currently going through this, and has decided to step away from the band. Joe is an original member of Dance Floor Riot, and has easily cemented his legacy as a fan-favorite. He brings a charisma to the stage that is extremely admirable, and will absolutely be missed. This was not an easy decision for Joe, but he’s chosen to put his focus on his wife and 2 beautiful children, and although it’s going to potentially change the face of DFR, we fully and lovingly support his decision. 

Joe’s last show date has not yet been set in stone, but you can expect to see a new face on stage with us in 2018. So for now, come out as often as you can, buy Joe a beer (or 10), and let him know how much he’ll be missed.

That being said, anyone know how to sing and play keys?

We have begun the audition process already, but there is obviously a lot of talent in St. Louis that we have yet to tap into, and we’d love to hear from you. Obviously we play a lot, and we rehearse weekly, so please know going in that this is no “garage band” hobby. Any questions, please email info@dancefloorriot.com.

The more info you can send us about yourself, the better. Also, any video of you playing and/or singing would be helpful.

See you soon!

Holy St. Louis!

Are you a fan of ours?! (we're going to assume since you're already this far that you are)
Are you a fan of The Urge?

Well, we've got news for you!! Now, let's get this out of the way... we're NOT playing a show with The Urge (yet anyway). But when July rolls around, we'll be making an announcement involving two of St. Louis' finest... DFR and The Urge! Stay tuned!

OH... and do yourself a favor and save the date. Tuesday,  July 11.

Wolfpack

It's finally happened... WE HAVE BOOKED DATES IN LAS VEGAS!!! 

Thanks to the continued love and support from people like you, we kept pushing to get shows in Vegas. We've finally secured a 4-show run (in the very near future) and we couldn't be happier about it!

However, not ALL expenses are covered, so we're sucking up our pride and asking for help. (Kinda like asking your parents for money... at the age of 45).
