Posted by Matthew Yette in antsmarching.org Site News at 2:10pm on Wednesday, Feb 3rd, 2010
DMB Live Setlist, now available in the iTunes App Store, satisfies those cravings. Band playing a show tonight? What have they played so far? Boom. DMB Live Setlist. Oh, they played a show last night? What did they play? DMB Live Setlist.
But what if you're in the middle of something on your iPhone or iPod Touch? Texting a friend? Listening to Pandora? Playing Bejeweled? You don't want to have to close out of your current app just to keep pace with the show, do you? Of course you don't. That's why DMB Live Setlist leverages the power of Push Notifications to alert you the instant a new song is being played. That's right; you'll be kept up to speed even when you don't have the app open!
DMB Live Setlist is currently available in the iTunes App Store for just $0.99. You can also find it in the App Store right on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
AntsLive Gets Twitter Upgrade
Posted by Matthew Yette in antsmarching.org Site News at 1:21pm on Monday, Feb 1st, 2010
With Twitter gaining so much in popularity, we decided to embrace the wave, rather than ask the fans to text experiences to a separate address. So many people are tweeting constantly during tailgates and the shows. With the new AntsLive!, once you link your Ants account to your Twitter name, AntsLive! will collect your tweets during the show and display them *live* during the concert on antsmarching.org [and other places, we hope. More on that "soon!"]
DMB Fails To Win Album Of The Year
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in TV Appearances at 6:53am on Monday, Feb 1st, 2010Dave Matthews Band had a strong showing at The Grammy's, but failed in their effort to pick up Album Of The Year. Taylor Swift, who you may have learned from the 722 references to it, writes her own songs, won the "big" award for Album Of The Year. DMB also lost for "Best Rock Album". Both nominees were for Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King.
... Or "GrooGroo" King, as presenter John Legend called the album. Clearly, the word is pronounced "Grew-Grux", considering it's a tribute to LeRoi Moore, who was referred to as "Grux" by friends. Regardless, DMB did receive high marks for their live performance of "You And Me", with an ensemble group accompanying their performance.

Ants After-Party 2010: West Palm Beach
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in antsmarching.org Site News at 11:17pm on Wednesday, Jan 27th, 2010 |
In addition to a relaxing after-party with an acoustic duo, you'll be able to get your 'pool-on' at the PGA National pool, which fittingly has a bar right next to it. Drink specials will run all weekend long - Cuba Libre's on Friday, the famous Mojitos on Saturday, and Bloody Mary's for Sunday recoup time. There will be other specials and a few surprises we have in store, so keep checking back on the main page for updates.
The Antsmarching.org rate for rooms is $139. In order to secure that rate, you MUST CALL to book the reservation. The phone number to call is 561 627 2000. That number is available from 830a-500p (ET)`. Ask for the antsmarching rate to secure the $139 a night price. If you are arriving from out of the area and wish to stay an extra day, the rate is available on Thursday as well.
We'll see you at the party!
Tour Dates 2010
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 7:31pm on Tuesday, Jan 26th, 2010That uproar you heard was from the collective Dave Matthews Band community. After weeks of months and speculation, an email from The Warehouse formally announced the 2010 Dave Matthews Band summer tour. The tour begins May 28 in Hartford, CT, and runs until September 15 in St. Paul, MN.
The biggest of the big news for the tour is that some locations will have general admission seating toward the front of the stage. This is similar to how most of the 2009 European tour was, and it worked fairly well in Europe. But this is the U.S., of A. so we'll see how well it works out. At the least, it'll cut down on beer runs during slow songs for some, or it'll create a puddle filled, foul smelling area right up front. Regardless, fan reaction is not thrilled right now, but kidding aside, this could make for some lively shows. Time will tell.
The other big news is stadiums. Citi Field, Nationals Stadium, and PNC Park, home of the Mets, Nationals, and Pirates, respectively, all get shows. Clearly, DMB is a National League band. Boise, ID gets a show, the first for the Spud State since 1998. Other notable shows are Alpine over the July 4th holiday (3rd and 4th), The Gorge gets Labor Day weekend (3 shows), and West Palm Beach gets July 30 and 31, where we'll have another Ants party, but more on that later. Like soon.
DMB Israel Bound?
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 6:30am on Tuesday, Jan 12th, 2010Is The Dave Matthews Band heading to the Middle East? A few websites, including an Israeli (that's translated to English) site have DMB in Israel on March 18 and 19.
No other confirmation has popped up yet, but with the European tour ending March 12, it is plausible to hop over to Israel and play a few shows. And yes, there is a fan base there to answer your next question.
But before you book that flight to Tel Aviv, wait on an official announcement from the official site. And if the shows are indeed on for Israel, the announcement will happen soon.
Thanks to Ants user AYL123 for the tip!
UPDATE: A source familiar with the overseas tour schedule says that DMB will not be stopping in Israel. So unfortunately this story appears to be untrue.
UPDATE #2:: Just like we said above, the Israel show is officially not happening. The original report has been retracted from the Israeli news source.
Dave To Perform At Haiti Benefit
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Charity at 9:56pm on Thursday, Jan 21st, 2010Dave Matthews will be joining an All-Star team to benefit Haiti. According to The Official Site, Dave will perform in "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief". The broadcast event begins Friday, January 22 at 8 PM ET/PT, and 7 PM for those of you in the beloved Central Time Zone.
All the performances, and there will be over 100 artists performing, will be available via iTunes for $.99 a song the day after the broadcast. The charities benefited are the same ones that Bama Works funds, along with a few others assisting groups on the ground right now to facilitate the cleanup and rebuild effort in Haiti.
