When we last heard from the likes of SeeYouSpaceCowboy, they’d backed off a tour with Dance Gavin Dance after their vocalist Connie Sgarbossa announced she was walking away because of how that whole shitshow was handled. Now, a couple months after that all went down, it sure seems like she’s interested in getting back out there with a new band.
Yesterday on Instagram, Sgarbossa posted to her Stories that it was “probably time to start a new band soon.” There’s not much more to that statement, but that’s all we’ve got so far.
For a little refresher as to how we got here, it all goes back to last April when SeeYouSpaceCowboy dropped Roman Candle from their tour over abuse allegations that began swirling online against former bassist Nico Borgia. Though the band let Borgia go as a result of those allegations, the victim claimed that the band members knew about what was happening before it came to light, leading to a lot of controversy around the tour and causing SYSC to jettison them.
Flash forward to this past January and SYSC were facing backlash for their involvement in a tour with Dance Gavin Dance who, many online at the time claimed was just as guilty of the same shit that caused the kerfuffle with Roman Candle. Remember, DGD vocalist Tilian Pearson was accused of sexual assault in 2022, he left the band as a result, and then came back and denied any wrongdoing. He would eventually leave the band in 2024.
Then came the tweets from Sgarbossa where she said “there is no part of me as an individual that backs this either,” with “this” being the tour with DGD, before ultimately saying she was “probably gonna be leaving SYSC due to a lack of urgency on issues I have been bringing up for a while now.”
With all that now in the rear view mirror, there may be a different future for Sgarbossa’s musical career. Only time will tell.
