The group's longest standing lineup, from 2009 to 2016, consisted of Jesus David Torres also known as Dahvie Vanity (born 1984) and Jayy Von Monroe (born 1991). The group released nine studio albums before breaking up in 2016 following Von Monroe's departure. It was reformed by Vanity the following year, initially with Fallon Vendetta. After Vendetta's departure, Vanity became the sole member of the group. Since 2019, Vanity has performed under the name Kawaii Monster and most recently The Most Vivid Nightmares.\n\nHistory\nAfter falling out as a touring musician with multiple local musical acts in the Orlando, Florida area during 2006, Jesus David Torres, going by the moniker \"Dahvie Vanity\", formed a musical group with friends Matty \"M\" Malaret, Christopher Mongillo, and Rebecca Fugate. Initially the group was considered a joke, but developed into Blood on the Dance Floor in the summer of 2007. Malaret left the group in late 2007 before the group's self-released first album, Let's Start a Riot, in April 2008. Citing the inability to tour, Mongillo and Fugate left the band as well shortly thereafter.During the recording of their second album, It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World, the band was picked up by producer and writer Rusty Wilmot. During the recording of this album, Garrett Marshal McLaughlin (Garrett Ecstasy) was recruited to do backup vocals and screaming. The CD was self-released in October 2008. Only 300 copies were made.Vanity and Ecstasy recorded the singles \"Siq With a Q\" and \"Suicide Club\" as a duo in 2008, and released three extended plays over the first half of 2009, I Scream I Scream, OMFG Sneak Peak, and Extended Play. The duo embarked on the OMFG Tour with other local bands Electric Valentine, Weston Buck, The Greenlight District, and The Crush in promotion of their upcoming album then titled OMFG.During the OMFG tour on a tour date in the state of Colorado, Vanity was arrested for sexual assault but was ultimately not criminally charged due to a lack of evidence and the tour continued with Ecstasy performing the remainder of the shows without Vanity. Ecstasy then left the band after accusing Vanity of being a sexual predator and was replaced by Jeremy Brian Griffis, known by his stage name \"Jayy Von Monroe\". Along with Von Monroe, Vanity and the group's new drummer and rapper, Nick \"Nasty\" Wenzel, released \"Horrifically Delicious\".\nMany of the songs originally recorded with Ecstasy intended for the upcoming album OMFG were re-recorded with new vocals by Von Monroe. The previous concept of the OMFG album was scrapped, and rebranded as EPIC, set for release in 2010. The band went on tour over spring and summer 2010 to promote the release of Epic. With Jeffree Star they recorded three songs for that album. The collaborations with Jeffree Star were short lived because like former member Garrett Ecstasy, Star had also accused Vanity of being a pedophile and a predator, claiming to have witnessed questionable behavior. Star later chose to go back on his accusations and sweep what he claimed to have seen under the rug due to feeling like the band was being victimized. He was then featured on their 2014 single \"Poison Apple\", from the album Bitchcraft. As with the previous conflict with Garrett, the three singles featuring Jeffree's vocals were re-recorded with vocals by Von Monroe, and the original tracks were not featured on the final album.\nIn October 2010, the album Epic charted No. 5 on the dance/electronic Billboard chart. The band headlined the Epic Tour and the Epic Tour Part II in support of the album.Even before the release of Epic, recording began for Blood on the Dance Floor's fourth album, All the Rage!!. The duo collaborated with several artists for the album, including Lady Nogrady, JJ Demon, and Nick Nasty. The album was preceded by several singles to promote the release, including \"Yo Ho\", and \"P.L.U.R.\", and \"Bewitched\" which became the band's biggest (and only) most well known song. The band later embarked on Warped Tour 2011 in June 2011, and released the album while on tour.\nA music video for their hit single from the album, \"Bewitched\", featured Nicole \"Lady\" Nogrady, who later said that she felt disrespected by the band during production of the album as well as on the music video, and found herself having to confront the band directly in order for her name to appear on the credits of her work with them. The song was subsequently performed by other female vocalists in place of Nogrady at live shows, and was re-recorded with vocals by Haley Rose for their 2013 acoustic album Blood Unplugged.\nThe album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart. At the end of 2011, the duo headlined the All the Rage Tour and was planning the 'Tis the Season to be Killing Tour.In celebration of BOTDF's fourth anniversary, a digital 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, originally planned to be released as a CD, it was released as a SoundCloud playlist instead. The compilation features remastered versions of songs from the band's first four albums.\nBlood on the Dance Floor's fifth album, Evolution, was released on June 19, 2012 along with a deluxe edition that featured acoustic versions of two songs. Two music videos and four singles were released from the album.\nThe album featured tracks in collaboration with Haley Rose, Amelia Arsenic, Shawn Brandon, Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte, Elena Vladimirova, and Deuce.As a thank you to their fans they released the three-song free EP Clubbed to Death! on June 20, 2012, for free through an app on Facebook. Their sixth EP, The Anthem of the Outcast, was released on October 30, 2012.Rumors of a breakup in 2013 were proven to be a hoax. Bad Blood was slated for release in September 2013. On February 18, 2013, the lead single \"I Refuse to Sink! (Fuck the Fame)\" was released, followed by the second single, \"Crucified by Your Lies\", and a third, \"Something Grimm\", on July 2, 2013.Andrew \"Drew\" Apathy joined in early 2014, and a new album, Bitchcraft, was released in June 2014. Their single \"We're Takin over!\" featuring Deuce was released February 7.Blood on the Dance Floor released their first single off their EP Cruel Pornography: \"The Sexorcist\". In August, they released their new project and started planning the \"Reign of Blood\" tour. On February 14, 2016, the band released the single \"Safe Word\" on iTunes.Mid-2016 marked the end of producing and co-writing by Rusty Wilmot (2008–2016).In April 2016, Blood on the Dance Floor announced a 24-date tour with Steven Joseph and BrokenCYDE. On August 17, BOTDF released their September 30-scheduled album Scissors on Apple Music.On September 14, 2016, Dahvie Vanity said that the group would be disbanding after one final tour as a result of Jayy's departure earlier that month. For a while afterwards, Vanity created and worked on a new project called Sinners Are Winners, releasing an EP titled For Beginners and full-length The Invocation. Jayy Von Monroe also released a statement on his departure from the band after leaving stating that he was not paid for his time for the band and was forced to go on tour without treatment after his HIV diagnosis. Vanity denied these allegations in a video.In April 2017, Vanity announced that there would be a new member, and that Blood on the Dance Floor would be returning on May 5 of that year without Jayy Von Monroe. In May 2017, it was revealed that Dahvie's girlfriend, Fallon Vendetta, had temporarily joined Blood on the Dance Floor. With Vendetta, they released the singles \"Resurrection Spell\", \"Love Like Voodoo\", \"Six Feet Under\", \"Yo Ho 2 (Pirate's Life)\", \"Ghosting\" and \"Destroy\". Their album Kawaii Monster was released on October 31, 2017. Kawaii Monster pre-orders included a second disc, a remastered edition of Let's Start a Riot. The band also released an exclusive EP: You Are the Heart. In 2018, they released Haunted, followed by Cinema Erotica and You Are the Heart. Vendetta departed the group shortly afterward, leaving Vanity as the sole remaining member of the group.\nIn 2019, shortly after the band's second break up, Vanity started a new project: Kawaii Monster. He released the songs \"From Heaven to Hell\", \"Total Nightmare\", \"Dear Best Friend\", \"It's a Sunny Place for Shady People\", \"I Am With You\", \"Finding Blessings in Dark Places\", \"The Violet Flame\", \"It's All Just a Dream\" and \"Rage Against the Dying Light\".After a five-month break from making music, Vanity rebranded himself again as \"The Most Vivid Nightmares\" and released \"Drowning in the Darkness\" on November 13, 2020. He later released a second single: \"Love Forever True\". On January 1, 2021, Vanity released a new version of Blood on the Dance Floor's \"Bewitched\" as \"Bewitched Reimagined\" featuring singer Sammy Beare. As of 2016, Jayy Von Monroe has continued to work as a drag monster under the name \"The Dahli\" and Vanity has continued to release music and merchandise by himself under both \"The Most Vivid Nightmares\" and \"Dark Arts Official\".\n\nMusical style and influences\nThe group's style has been described as having hypersexual lyrics combined with electronica or electronic music, but also heavily incorporates electropop, dance-pop, and crunkcore.Vanity stated in an interview that Jeffree Star is a huge influence on Blood on the Dance Floor. Vanity also stated that he was inspired by Marilyn Manson in the past.\n\nSexual assault allegations against Dahvie Vanity\nSince the allegations first surfaced in 2009, at least 21 women have made sexual assault, child molestation, and rape allegations against Vanity. Former bandmates Garrett Ecstasy, who left the band in 2009, and Jayy Von Monroe, who left in 2016, have described Vanity as a sexual predator. In an interview with television journalist Chris Hansen, Jayy Von Monroe accused Vanity of abuse as well, stating that Vanity forced him to tour without his HIV medication which caused him to nearly contract AIDS. Von Monroe also stated that he later made a full recovery after leaving the band in 2016. Jeffree Star and New Years Day members Ash Costello and Nikki Misery have stated that they observed Vanity engage in questionable or illegal sexual behavior during one of the Vans Warped Tours and also during the \"All the Rage Tour 2012\" in support of their third studio album of the same name around the early 2010s. Many of the accusers were underage during the alleged attacks. In response to the allegations, Combichrist removed Blood on the Dance Floor from their tour in 2014. Merchandising website Big Cartel removed the band's products in 2018 in response to the allegations, while Spotify and Google Play removed the band's music in April 2019 for violating their prohibited content policies against hate speech. Vanity has responded to the accusations on multiple occasions, usually with denial, threats or evasion.In early 2020, Hansen announced an investigation on Vanity, including having multiple interviews with those who claim Vanity abused or raped them. The FBI have confirmed that they are also currently investigating the allegations against Vanity.\n\nMembers\nFinal line-up\n\nDahvie Vanity – lead vocals, guitar, keyboards, programming (2006–2016, 2017–2019)Former members\n\nTouring musicians\n\nTimeline\n\nDiscography\nAlbums as Blood on the Dance Floor\nLet's Start a Riot (2008)\nIt's Hard to Be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World (2008)\nEpic (2010)\nAll the Rage!!

It is a six-track extended play, and the duo's first major release since the departure of former member Kris Trindl. It is also their first major release since their debut album Get Wet.\n\nBackground\nJust over a year after the release of their debut album \"Get Wet\" in 2013, Kris Trindl publicly announced a lawsuit, suing them $5 million for against Yasmine and Jahan Yousaf claiming they kicked him out of Krewella to gain high profits after he sobered up out of his alcohol addiction. The sisters then followed up with a counter lawsuit which stated \"While on stage, Kris would generally stand to the side of Jahan and Yasmine and pump his arms, while pretending to DJ; he was onstage primarily for the sake of image.\" \"Because Kris did not know how to DJ, he only had two effect buttons.\" In August 2015 a settlement was reached, but the verdicts were not released to the public. The situation eventually led to Deadmau5 siding with Kris, causing Krewella to receive a large amount of internet hatred.The band announced in 2015 that they had been working on a new extended play, intended to be completed in time for a 2016 tour. From that time out prior to the release there were many snippets of upcoming music including the songs \"Broken Record\", \"Helter Skelter\", \"Beggars\" (with Diskord), \"Louder Than Bombs\", \"Friends\", \"Superstar\" (which  featured Pegboard Nerds and NGHTMRE) and \"Marchin On\".

The music video for the song was released at the same time.On the last few days before the release, teasers for \"Surrender the Throne\", \"Marching On\", \"Beggars\", \"Broken Record\", \"Ammunition\", and \"Can't Forget You\" were released, with the latter being released one day before Ammunition's release.Krewella are going on a headline tour later in 2016, set to span across 16 dates in North America and Canada and will feature new music and their entire live band.\n\nCommercial performance\nOn the week ending June 11, 2016 Ammunition reached no. 2 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and sold 3,000 copies in its debut week.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 48, based on 11 reviews, which indicates \"generally mixed or average reviews\". AllMusic writer David Jeffries noted \"over-the-top performances\" and stated \"3OH!3 are nothing if not loud and shameless, so if you expect end-to-end excellence from their albums, you’ve got a lot to learn about cheap thrills\". Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt gave the album a C+ rating and wrote that \"Streets of Gold's beats still sound garage-sale-Casio cheap, but the album yields several doofy, affable sing-alongs\". Jon Caramanica of The New York Times complimented its incorporation of hip hop, rock, and electro-pop styles and described it as \"an oppressive and convincing wall of sounds\". Alternative Press gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and wrote that it \"sweeps across a broad range of stylistic tones, maintaining levity while dabbling in comparably serious musical pursuits\". The Washington Post's Sean Fennessey called 3OH!3 \"cheeky stylists with quips that frequently devolve into misogyny\" and noted \"little depth\", but concluded \"Still, this is a group that excels when no one is listening to what they're saying, only to how they sound, which is always committed and fearlessly grand\".In contrast, BBC Online's Fraser McAlpine panned the album's lyrics and called it \"dumb for sure, but no fun whatsoever\". Ben Weisz of MusicOMH gave it 2 out of 5 stars and stated \"the lyrics are generally unimaginative, sacrificing any shred of credibility to chase the cheap rhyme\". Stacey Anderson of Spin criticized the songs' \"witticisms\" and noted \"brutish synths and hammy bleats\". Giving it 1 out of 5 stars, Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone called it \"grim stuff – a soundtrack for beer-pong tournaments\" and panned its formula of \"dopey electro rock bolstering 'raps' about drinking... and getting girls to 'touch on' their privates\". NME's Mark Beaumont gave the album a 0/10 rating and called 3OH!3 \"electro-hip-pop white bread American scum\", stating \"If Streets Of Gold's lyrics are unlikely to bother the Nobel committee, musically 3OH!3 are a boyband pendulum: the threat of the latter tamed and glossed by the cash-hungry urge to be the former\".\n\nCommercial performance\nStreets of Gold debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 with 41,000 copies sold in its first week. The album has sold more than 100,000 copies in US.\n\nTrack listing\nPersonnel\nCredits for Streets of Gold adapted from AllMusic.\n\nMusicians\nProduction\nCharts\nPassage 9:\nHarnessed the Storm\nHarnessed the Storm is the second studio album by American electronic music duo Drexciya. It was released on Tresor in 2002. Designed as the first of seven conceptually linked albums that the duo produced over the course of a single year, it is the only one credited to Drexciya. Different aliases were used for the others.\n\nCritical reception\nPhilip Downey of Exclaim! described Harnessed the Storm as \"forward-looking, vocal-less, sci-fi stuff\". Andy Battaglia of The A.V. Club felt that Drexciya \"still creates some of the most visionary electro around\", but concluded that the album's \"Detroit-style formalism\" sounds \"too old-fashioned to sneak the future into the past\".In 2010, Resident Advisor placed Harnessed the Storm at number 97 on its list of the \"Top 100 Albums of the 2000s\". In 2017, Pitchfork placed it at number 11 on its list of \"The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time\".\n\nTrack listing\nPassage 10:\nWhite Noise (Disclosure song)\n\"White Noise\" is a song by British electronic music duo Disclosure, featuring vocals from electronic music duo AlunaGeorge. It was released as a digital download in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2013. The song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. The track is the second single from the duo's debut studio album, Settle (2013). The song was written by Howard Lawrence, Guy Lawrence, Aluna Francis, George Reid and James Napier.\n\nReception\nCritical reception\nThe track was met with very positive reviews upon its release. Pitchfork labeled it \"Best New Music\". Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:\n\nFor their latest track 'White Noise' they've hooked up with trendy newbies AlunaGeorge – a savvy collaboration that's been carefully timed following their shared domination of last month's ones-to-watch lists. That's not to say it sounds forced; Disclosure's humming bassline, swirling synths and addictive clubby beeps are perfectly tailored to Aluna's pitched vocal. The result strikes a rarely-heard balance between hipster-friendly and potential chart-dominator. .\n\nFreddie Holmes of The Underclassed gave the track a mixed review, stating that \"It's a great track nonetheless, especially to someone that hasn't heard any of either group's previous material, but my superfan standpoint has rendered me to be overly critical\".Billboard named it the eighth greatest song of 2013. The website wrote about the song, \"In a year in which Disclosure and AlunaGeorge watched their audiences and cultural cache grow exponentially, the two duos' wiry, icy-cool collaboration represented a high point for each\".\n\nCommercial performance\nThe song entered at number 28 on the UK Singles Chart. The following week, it climbed 26 places to number two on the chart, beaten to the top by \"Thrift Shop\" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, featuring Wanz.\n\nLive performances\nAt the 2014 BRIT Awards, Disclosure and Lorde performed an electro version of Lorde's song \"Royals\", which transitioned into \"White Noise\", for which AlunaGeorge appeared on stage. The \"Royals/White Noise\" performance was released at iTunes Stores by the BRIT Awards on 19 February 2014; proceeds from its sales went to the charity War Child.\n\nMusic video\nThe song's music video has a security guard and he starts in an abandoned warehouse.\n\nTrack listings\nDigital download\"White Noise\" (featuring AlunaGeorge) – 5:40BRITs performance digital download\"Royals / White Noise\" – 4:59\n\nCharts and certifications\nRelease history",6  "char_len": 37040,7  "document_hash": "e9123dfd33a5395863123d97ff9e6423cc7fdd7999e47f001c2db882c2fc8a13",8  "questions": [9    {10      "question_id": "q00",11      "qtype": "hotpotqa",12      "question": "Angelspit toured the United States with an American electronic music duo from Orlando, Florida, that formed in what year?"13    }14  ]15}
