Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Columns at 4:59pm on Sunday, Mar 14th, 2010

As we do every year, we at Antsmarching.org (we meaning me) provide as a service to you, the non-follower of NCAA Basketball, an opportunity to enter your office pool with a bit of knowledge. And as you surely recall from last year, we had Michigan State in the final 4, which most didn't. So we know what we're doing. Sort of.

To make the reading easy, we've provided this years picks in Haiku form. So grab that bracket, and mark em in!

Dave And Tim Get A Vinyl Release

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 2:36pm on Thursday, Mar 11th, 2010

Dave Matthews And Tim Reynolds are contributing a release to Record Store Day. The release will feature Squirm and Lying In The Hands Of God, according to Radio Active Records, and will be a 7" Vinyl. That's a little record for those not in the know. Both songs were recorded live from the 2009 Dave and Tim Las Vegas shows. The vinyl goes on sale at specific locations (see below) April 17 and should be priced around $3.49 (or so).

Record Store Day is a celebration of independently owned record stores. That means non-chain. To find a local independently owned record store near you, use the Record Store Day search. Please note that not every store listed necessarily will have every release listed above, so contact the store you wish to visit to make sure they have the said vinyl(s) you want to buy. Especially the Dave and Tim one, which will certainly be a collectors item quite quickly.

DMB Opens Europe Store; DMBLive Info

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Brand at 8:02pm on Friday, Mar 5th, 2010

The consecutive years touring in Europe has paid off for the Dave Matthews Band fans across the pond. The Warehouse announced the opening of a NEW ONLINE MERCHANDISE STORE based in Europe. European orders will ship from the United Kingdom, which will expedite the shipping process (and save you folks some Yen! Or whatever you use over there) All orders received prior to Midnight GMT March 7 will receive a 10% discount. Use the code DMB-63K8-3Z1D-T16T to get sum discount(s). You can directly access the Europe store here.

Also, in case you missed it, DMBLive released a new show, 10.24.96 from Austin, Texas. This show is the first multi-track show to be released in the DMBLive series. That's a good thing, mainly because it leads one to believe that if they are willing to release a multi-track recordings from full band show now, surely they'll release more "soon". As with all DMBLive releases, the shows are digitally mastered, which means it's not just dumped into FLAC or MP3, but rather the levels are balanced for each track to make the recording sound equalized.

Lillywhite wants Simon's Idol Seat

Posted by Joe Maliszeski in Management at 10:05am on Friday, Mar 5th, 2010

I figured I'd give Steve (can I call you Steve?), Mr. Lillywhite, I little press via the site. You could say Steve Lillywhite gets a little attention from Dave Matthews Band fans, seeing as he produced the bands first three 'studio' albums, Under the Table and Dreaming, Crash, and Before These Crowded Streets (o, and you might have heard of one called The Lillywhite Sessions.). Though he is probably most famous for his work with U2, he also has worked with the Rolling Stones, Phish, Jason Mraz, and countless others. Most of the discussion about Steve Lillywhite here centers on the past, unless you were following Steve's radio show a few months ago when he talked about DMB and found the recording of Machead amongst his archives and promised to play it (he didn't, but talked in depth about it.) Now Steve wants a new gig. He wants Simon Cowell's seat on American Idol which will be open following this season. In the last two weeks Steve has put out the full court pressure campaign and has hired an agent and publicist to help. Via a YouTube "resume video" and interview with Billboard and other publications, he lists his accomplishments and how he fits the role. (In the video Lillywhite takes credit in foreseeing DMB's talent and wanting to produce them.) No doubt he is likely the most experienced person whose name is currently running around for the Idol spot and would actually add some credibility to the show. It comes off a little strong how hard he's pushing for it, but regardless we like Steve (:thumbsup). Downside is if he gets the Idol spot he'll have to dedicate six months to the show and won't be able to produce DMB's next studio album early 2011 albums.

For a bit of relevant Dave Matthews Band news, Stefan Lessard is quoted in the latest Rolling Stone about playing the Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King songs live, saying "It's time for us to start playing with these songs. The songs will start to progress differently onstage." He also makes his traditional pretour requests (don't we all?) "I'm always looking for the ones that I have fun playing and haven't played in a few years like "Crazy Easy," "Minarets" and "Joyride."

City Approves [band name] To Play Wrigley

Posted by Joe Maliszeski in Tour News at 2:24pm on Wednesday, Mar 3rd, 2010

Today was the City Council Panel meeting that many of you were curious to hear about. We've been here before many times, only to get rejected at the last minute by that unfavorable vote. This time we owe it to local Aldermen Tom Tunney, the Cubs organization, and the local synagogues (the dates fall on Jewish holiday Yom Kippur) for their support because the vote passed the panel. Longtime active Ant, saxlover, was at the meeting to get the details. They passed the ordinance to allow 2 additional events at Wrigley, September 17th and 18th, for a concert but without a band mentioned. Rumors have been flying high that Dave Matthews Band are the ones slotted as the front runners for the spot and people at the council panel meeting seemed to believe it was DMB also. The plan will next go to the full City Council for consideration. So baring any Steve Bartman incidents and unlike 2007, DMB will be rocking Wrigley Field come September 17th and 18th.

Dave To Perform For Mountain Relief

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 3:03pm on Saturday, Feb 27th, 2010

Dave Dives Back Into Acting; Soko News

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 9:33am on Saturday, Feb 27th, 2010

Dave Matthews is appearing on the big screen again. According to a few internet items, Dave will act along with Adam Sandler, and more importantly Brooklyn Decker, in a film called Just Go With It. Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Anniston are also in it. But Brooklyn Decker is too, and that's worth mentioning twice.

Matthews has acted in a few Sandler films, and his last foray into thespianism was Lake City, for which Matthews received praise for his acting chops. Filming for "Just Go With It" is going on now, so obviously Matthews will be doing his part(s) between the Europe tour and the North American tour.

You may recall that Dave, Tim, and Roi are all appearing on the new Sokoband album. According to a tweet from the band, the recordings are quite old. The tweet specifically mentions that Roi's recording is from when he was just 27 years old. That'd make the recording about 20 years old. The sokoband album is due in March.

Con-Fusion Makes the Euro Poster

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 6:34am on Friday, Feb 19th, 2010

Congratulations to our friends at Con-Fusion for making it on the Dave Matthews Band promotional poster for the Italy shows! Look at the bottom of the poster and you'll see the name "Con-Fusion" there. Pretty nifty! Don't forget that their Europe Tour party is February 21, so if you're in Italy, make sure you stop by and say "hi" to the crew over there!

And, in case you missed it, the Carlos Santana version of JTR (AKA John The Revelator), going by the name Rain Down On Me, is available on the Supernatural Legacy Edition. You can download that individual track via iTunes (just search "rain down on me" in your iTunes). It's a mere $1.29.

Vienna Waits for their show February 19, then it's back to Germany for a day, and three shows in Italy.
