History[edit]

Let's Start a Riot and It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World (2007-2008)[edit]

In 2007, Dahvie Vanity started a band called Love the Fashion with Christopher Mongillo and Rebecca Fugate.[10] The band was originally nothing but a joke, but soon developed into Blood on the Dance Floor. The group hit the studio and recorded their first album, Let's Start a Riot.[11] Instead of promoting the album, the band continued recording and released their second album, It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World, later that year.[12] Not being able to tour, Mongillo and Fugate left the band while Vanity toured the Orlando, Florida area. Vanity soon gained a large fan base called the Slash Gash Terror Crew.

I Scream I Scream, OMFG Sneak Peak and Extended Play (2008-2009)[edit]

While on tour, Vanity met Garrett Ecstasy, who soon joined the band. The duo began recording new material in early 2009. The group released the three extended plays I Scream I Scream, OMFG Sneak Peak, and Extended Play in the first half of 2009.[13] The duo embarked on the OMFG Tour across the United States in support of their three releases. In September 2009, Ecstasy was kicked out of the band mid-tour due to allegations that he was stealing from Vanity.[14] Also in September 2009, during the I Scream I Scream Tour, a young fan accused Vanity of raping her after a concert in Denver, Colorado.[3] The charges were dropped when the fan refused to use a rape kit.

Epic (2009-2010)[edit]

Ecstasy was soon replaced by Jayy von Monroe due to Ecstasy stealing their tour van according to Torres. Recording for their junior album began near the end of 2009. The new lineup soon played on the Crunk Kids Tour '09. The duo soon teamed up with Jeffree Star to record three songs for the album. BOTDF embarked on the 2 Drunk 2 Fuck Tour and the Lookin' Hot & Dangerous Tour with Star during 2010. During the Lookin' Hot & Dangerous Tour, Blood on the Dance Floor and Star became hostile towards each other for reasons of David's behavior.[15] Due to the fight, neither of the three songs made the album til 2014. Leading up to the release, numerous singles were released between October 2009 and September 2010. In October 2010, the highly anticipated album, Epic, was released. The album charted 5th on the dance/electronic Billboard chart.[8] The band headlined the Epic Tour and the Epic Tour Part II in support of the album. Two music videos were released off of the album and the band started to gain mainstream success; being featured on several music television channels.

All the Rage, Evolution, & sixth album (2011-2012)[edit]

Even before the group's third album was released, recording began for Blood on the Dance Floor's fourth album. The band collaborated with several artists for the album, including Gods Paparazzi, KatiKaine, Rusty Lixx, James Egbert, Lady Nogrady, JJ Demon, and Nick Nasty. Once again the album was preceded by several singles to promote the release. The band embarked on Warped Tour 2011, in June 2011.[4] Their fourth album, All the Rage, was released while on Warped Tour. One music video was filmed for the album. The album peaked at #13 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart.[9] At the end of 2011 the band headlined the All the Rage Tour and is planning the 'Tis the Season to be Killing Tour. Continuing their constant recording, material for the fifth album was worked on immediately. The band has recently made up with Star and the two collaborated along with Millionaires on the unreleased song "Fuck Me I'm Famous". The band has also collaborated with Nathan Ryan, Elena Vladimirova, and Angelspit for the upcoming album.[16] In celebration of BOTDF's four year anniversary, a compilation album entitled, The Legend of Blood on the Dance Floor, was set to be released on Halloween. The compilation's release date was pushed back to be released with [R]//:3VØ_|Ú†!<3N The compilation features remastered versions of songs from the band's first four albums.
