Some Activities for the St Paddy's Day Weekend
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 9:42am on Friday, Mar 15th, 2013If you're trying to decide what to do before you burn down that Fish and Chips joint on Sunday, may we suggest some non-pyrotechnic activities for you? We may.
Stefan's side project Yukon Kornelius is playing FestEVOl on March 16 in Vermont. Rashawn Ross is also going to be a special guest, so if you're within driving distance of Vermont, you might want to check it out. Yukon kicks much arse. Tickets are still available if you so choose.
And for those of you in the Chicagoland area, a bike of Ants are meeting at McGee's Tavern and Grille to watch a fellow Ant and his band perform, and drink Guinness and such on St. Patrick's Day. Since they asked me, we figured it'd be worth the mention since the band is pretty good, and they seem like charming fellows. And lets face it, in a sleepy town like Chicago, you're going to need to find something to do on a Sunday. Check out their Facebook Page for more info or you can send a Private Message via ants to schreiber89 and he'll give you more details.
What Are We To Make of Dave in Studio?
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 10:57am on Thursday, Feb 7th, 2013It didn't take long for the story that popped up on our message boards to turn into a full-fledged event. Of some sorts at least.
For those of you that don't check the boards 6-7 times daily, shame on you. That is truly unacceptable. But since I'm a swell fellow, here's a recap:
A fan (as mentioned above) runs into Dave in Shreveport, LA.
Twitter backs the story up.
When asked by a fan if he was working on a solo album, Dave smiled.
The studio where all this is going down is Blade Studios, named for owner and Dave and Friends drummer Brady Blade.
An alleged conversation has Dave saying this is similar to Dave and Friends.
Photos seem to back up the story of at the very least meeting Dave.
This would be a good time to get some reax from Drama Prairie Dog
I know... flight booked. hotel reserved. in line to get railed. But really... what does it mean? One of the most commonly repeated non-bashing phrases on the message boards is "Dave owes the record label one more solo record." Of course, there's no track record of this appearing in public, but since it's on the interwebz, it must be real. We have no idea if Dave is doing a solo record or not, and we don't know if Dave's idea of "another Dave and Friends project" is what we all think it is, or it's Dave singing on a few Jakob Dylan songs.
We do know that Dave is in Shreveport, LA at a recording studio. What will become of that project exactly is still to be determined.
DMBrasil Chats with Boyd
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 6:33am on Tuesday, Oct 30th, 2012Our good friends over at DMBrasil had an opportunity to talk with Boyd about his movie Faces In The Mirror (you can read the interview here). If you still haven't bothered to learn Portuguese despite all our attempts to get you to, don't fret, Rodrigo and Nathalie have provided us with an English translation.
You can read the English version of the interview with Boyd here.
Dave Featured on John Denver Tribute Album
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 7:36am on Tuesday, Oct 23rd, 2012In case you were wondering what spurred Dave to cover John Denver's Take Me To Tomorrow during a few Dave and Tim shows, it's pretty apparent now. The John Denver official site announced that Dave is among more than 15 artists selected to appear on an all-star tribute to the late Singer/Songwriter. The release is slated for February 2013.
Denver died in 1997 in a plane crash (you may or may not recall). He is also recalled either as a great songwriter or an extremely underrated songwriter, depending on whom you ask. Dave has only covered Take Me To Tomorrow from the Denver library of songs, but he has teased Sunshine On My Shoulders famously during the 1995 Red Rocks show.

Posted by Matthew Yette in Band Side Projects at 11:33pm on Thursday, Sep 13th, 2012
Jeff Coffin and the Mu'Tet's new album, Into the Air, is available on iTunes and cdbaby.
Boyd Produced Movie - Faces In The Mirror - Info
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 7:07pm on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012The film will debut on-line on snagfilms, which has a pretty good rep for finding smaller, independent films and streaming them on the internet. Rather than me go on about the plot, as you watch the trailer, there will be a synopsis from Boyd below it, just read what he says, he's got the plot down pat. The Web debut will be August 30. So tune in!
And yes, that is Dave you hear warbling. And yes, that is most likely a variation of Lithlo Bithlo or Mother Father, depending on your degree of DMB knowledge.
Dave Gets Poetic for Trees
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 9:01am on Thursday, Mar 24th, 2011Dave has long been an environmentalist and a self-proclaimed "tree hugger", and he's now put pen to paper in support of protecting wilderness. Dave's poem entitled "Forest" is in support of the controversial ANWR region of Alaska.
Rather than spark a political debate, regardless of which side of the fence you land upon, check out the poem and remember, having a lot of trees is never a bad thing.
Dave Talks About His Upcoming Movie
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 10:53am on Tuesday, Feb 1st, 2011
Dave filmed the movie in early 2010 in Hawaii, prior to the European tour. The movie is "inspired by" (not a direct remake) the 1969 movie Cactus Flower; Goldie Hawn won the Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her portrayal of the Brooklyn Decker character in this one. The movie opens nationwide on February 11.
Dave Dives Back Into Acting; Soko News
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Side Projects at 9:33am on Saturday, Feb 27th, 2010Dave 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.
