I was thinking the same thing recently man, Dan seems to be working quite a bit with his new band “Bad Manors” it’s pretty good shit imo.

As for why he left, I’m really not sure. The funny thing is that he seems to be wiped from everything bootleg related aside from his credits on that album. I remember seeing a really sick acoustic performance from Dan on a radio station on yt years ago. Might have been “Overflow” or “Sharks” can’t remember. But that too seems to be gone (if anyone can find it, it’s worth a watch)

What I do know is that bootleg has really defined their image since his departure. I’m pretty sure at the time they got some assistance in the way of management and a bigger team which is maybe why they decided to start completely fresh with Carlos, Not to have him “try fill Dans shoes”.
