August Jonathan Carson. Born and raised in the (very Catholic) bottom left corner of Louisiana, Gus is a walking contradiction and a constant trainwreck. He likes grunge, ska, whatever All Time Low is, and Elton John. He has 5 tattoos and you can't see any of them here, they're on each wrist, an ankle, a thigh, and the back of his neck. He weighs about 120 pounds and it is all hair and jewelry. His symbolism includes crosses, cigarettes, whiskey, wine, fluffy gray cats, stars, and that specific shade of maroon. And he was born to be a frontman, he would fail at anything else.

Jonas Rivne was born in England, but has lived in the US since he was two, growing up mostly in New York City before moving to Albany at eight. He moved to New Orleans, Louisiana at 19 (only DLL member not from there!). He's been diagnosed with autism and schizo-effective disorder, so he's a paranoid wreck, but he manages well (he is on so much medication). Jon likes gay music. Anything that gay people like he probably also likes. But his favorite band is Fall Out Boy, he's been obsessed since he was 12. Also, he has a very mean, bullying sense of humor, and he lies for fun. Yes, he used to have long hair like Tom Petty, he cut it earlier this year (broke the hearts of hundreds of thousands of teenage fans everywhere). He's been engaged to Gus since June of 2023, and is Elora's stepdad. He owns 27 guitars, one bass guitar, and two keyboards. Jon usually looks very 80s in style, but dabbles in the 70s.

Daniel James Calgary. Dan the Man is an extremely outgoing "tough guy" and holds the title of band's biggest party animal. He is also the #1 fan of the band, and of the state of Louisiana (despite now living in New York). He's currently dating a model named Jordan, but it will not last, because his #1 will always be work. He represents 1997-2003 with his entire being and wishes he was Fred Durst so bad. Dan founded DLL! In 2015, he met Greg Vernon in a bar, and they became best friends almost immediately. In 2017, Dan met August Carson and Ritchie Marrell in different bars, and they formed the band from there. Likewise, in 2019, he met Jon Rivne in another bar, and brought him in to replace Ritchie.

Gregory Michael Vernon is the soft spot of DLL. He's the least extraverted- ideally, he's with the band, his family, or getting to know one person at a time. Greg grew up in a tiny swamp town in Louisiana, by the Mississippi River, in the 3rd poorest parish in the state. In a population of about 50 people, he only enjoyed the company of two others his age, and the trio often biked a few miles into the next town just for some enrichment. There, Greg found a music store, which sparked his love of music, and is where he got his first bass. He's now the husband to Cassidy Anne Stanswick Vernon (Cass, m. 2019) and father to Grace (born July 2020) and Spencer (born November 2022). And his hair is natural, unlike Gus's.
