2012 Tour, What Will they Play?
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 7:45am on Tuesday, May 15th, 2012
There's a fine art to determining what will be played, which is why we have our very own Set List Game! If you've never played it before, it's pretty simple, just try and guess what song(s) will be played during the show. And you receive bonus points for predicting a song in the exact place in a show when it's played (which the kids call "spotting"). Enter your picks in, and then you can follow along during that given show in the thread for that show in the forum.
There will be fabulous prizes awarded for whomever does the best in the set list game, so best of luck in picking your songs!
It's 2012 Tour Week
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 10:44am on Monday, May 14th, 2012
We don't need to remind you that this is a big year for DMB; with a new album coming out (eventually), the big question is, "what will be played this year?" The first tour of the year is usually a peek at what we have in store (but not always). To help facilitate you, the fan not at the show, the good members of Ants+ will be at every DMB show this tour tweeting from the Ants Twitter. They will be tweeting specific things that you'll find interesting, not just what song is played. So if you're not following the Ants Twitter, get on the bandwagon! Those tweets, along with tweets from other fans, will pop up on our real-time-set-list feed that will pop up prior to the show. Just stay on the main page (that'd be the one you're reading this from) and the set list app will appear a bit before the show begins.
Check back every day this week as we count down to the first day of the 2012 tour!
DMB Album Clearly has a Fall Release Date
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Album News at 2:01pm on Friday, May 4th, 2012Stefan has already tweeted it. Rashawn mentioned it to a fan. What more do you need to know that the 2012 Dave Matthews Band album won't be here until the fall? How about if you read it in Spanish?
Boyd Tinsley gave an interview to ESPNDeportes (that's ESPNSports in English, which doesn' t look nearly as cool as "Deportes") and talked tennis and the new album. The English Translation, which is not perfecto, does basically say that the album will be released in the fall (it actually says Autumn, but we're not nit-picky).
Boyd also gives a mention of a film he's producing, entitled Faces In The Mirror. That movie will be appearing in a few months, so keep an eye out for that as well.

Live Trax 22 Available for Pre-Order
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 10:43pm on Monday, Apr 30th, 2012The Dave Matthews Band Live Trax is back up and running, this time going with a more recent show. According to an email from The Warehouse, Live Trax Vol. 22 is 7.14.10 from Scranton, PA.
This show may be an under-the-radar release to the more casual fan, but it's actually one of the highest rated shows of Summer 2010 (just hover your mouse over the stars to see the actual numeric number rating out of 5 for each show). Scranton began with The Stone (of Phillip Phillips fame), and featured other fan favorites such as Busted Stuff, One Sweet World (with the original intro), and a fairly epic Two Step. There's also an improv in there (where it sounds like Dave is barking), and the encore of So Damn Lucky into Thank You was so good the goodly folk at The Warehouse added it to the latest Warehouse disc as well.
Pre-order is now, with delivery set to ship on June 8.
Phillip Phillips Sings A DMB Song on Idol
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in TV Appearances at 10:23pm on Wednesday, Apr 25th, 2012American Idol contestant (and registered member of Antsmarching.org) Phillip Phillips sang a Dave Matthews Band song on the April 25 edition of American Idol. In what can safely be described as a shocker, Phillips chose The Stone as his DMB song. This marks the first time an American Idol contestant performed a DMB song.
The judges were kind of mixed on the performance. Steven Tyler acted as if he had never heard the words "Dave Matthews Band" in that order in a sentence, Jennifer Lopez called it "Too artsy" (you can insert your own joke here), but Randy Jackson did praise it.
You can vote on-line for Phillips as well. But time is limited, so if you're reading this at 3am, it's probably too late.
If you're new to the DMB thanks to P-squared (as the cool kids call him), and you'd like to hear the DMB perform The Stone, head on over to DMBLive, they have a few nice live versions to choose from (check under the Live Trax tab).
Dave To Co-Chair Retirement Gala
Posted by Julie Wrinkle in Band Member News at 10:05am on Wednesday, Apr 25th, 2012Dave Matthews will serve as a Distinguished Co-chair at the Julian Bond Celebration Gala that will take place on May 2nd in New York City. Dave will be joined by Harry Belafonte as Co-chair. Bond will be retiring after 20 years at the University of Virginia and the Gala will raise money towards the Julian Bond Professorship in Civil Rights and Social Justice. More information can be found here.
President Obama Opens for Dave Matthews
Posted by Zack Rippy in Album News at 3:44am on Wednesday, Apr 25th, 2012President Barack Obama made his first appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night to warm up the crowd for the evening's main event - Dave Matthews' debut performance of "Mercy" from the band's forthcoming album. Dave performed the song with accompaniment from The Roots' Captain Kirk.
The acoustic performance offered the first real glimpse at anything from the as-yet untitled album, though the final product will likely sound quite different with the full DMB treatment. Producer Steve Lillywhite has stated on Twitter that "...it's not just acoustic on the album," and "it is not quiet on the album!" In case you missed the show, you can watch it here and then be sure to let us know what you think on the forum.
