Posted by Matt Yette in Site News on 5/27/10 12:23pm
To link your Twitter account with Ants, simply follow the directions on this page. If you're attending a show, make sure to add it to your attendance list in Tour Central. If you're at a concert, we'll keep an eye on your tweets during the show and post them on AntsLive for everyone on Ants to see!
For the Ants members not attending a show, but still wanting to follow along, simply visit the Home page of Ants during a show, and you will see the live setlist at the top right of the screen. Click on the link for AntsLive, and a new window will open allowing you to follow along with the setlist and show attendees' tweets, live! We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable tour season. See you at the show!
AntsLive Gets Twitter Upgrade
Posted by Matt Yette in Site News on 2/1/10 1:17pm
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!"]
Dave Matthews Band Spring Tour Kicks Off
Posted by Matt Yette in Tour News on 4/13/09 2:02pm
The most hyped part of the tour so far has to be the Official AntsMarching.org DMB After Party after the Friday Night Show in the band's hometown of Charlottesville, VA. If you haven't signed up yet for the party, please RSVP and let us know you're coming! Thanks to The Warehouse, we will be giving away lots of great prizes, including a ticket for an autographed copy of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, signed by Dave Matthews himself!
As is now tradition, we are again hosting The Setlist Game for the 2009 Spring Tour, with an opportunity to win the entire tour on CD for the person who proves to be the most accurate in guessing the tour's setlists. Taper recordings will be available in our Downloads Area for those who wish to download and listen to the shows. AntsLive! will again be up and running this tour, allowing anyone to send in pictures, texts and video live from the concert, for anyone watching the setlist to view. Be the first to post a live clip of the new songs with AntsLive! And speaking of live, if you don't already follow AntsMarching on Twitter, you should definitely take the time to do just that, and receive live updates from the shows as they happen. To follow along with the live setlist on Twitter, follow us @dmblive. You can even set up your twitter account to receive @dmblive tweets on your phone as they come in, so in effect you can receive the setlist on your cell phone, right as it happens! Of course, you can still sign up to receive the entire setlist on your cell phone after the show ends with our Mobile Setlists feature. And make sure to stay current with all DMB news with Mobile News.
If you're hitting any shows this tour, we wish you a safe and enjoyable time! Please be responsible when partying before/during/after the shows, and best of all enjoy what will be the very first performances of tracks from the upcoming Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King! After you come home from the show, head on over to Tour Central and enter your review in on your show's page. Don't forget to scan in your ticket stubs (and if you can get one, a band setlist) and upload them on your show's page as well. And as always, pictures of tailgating, partying, and the show are encouraged, so send those along too!
Dave Does Twitter

First the band did Napster. Then iTunes. Myspace and Facebook followed, but what now? Twitter, that's what. Dave Matthews has a Twitter account, and from the looks of it, he's off to a running start in his micro-blogging ways. For those unfamiliar with the site, Twitter is, in a nutshell, a micro-blogging platform where users can post and exchange 160-character status updates called tweets. It appears that Dave has only been registered for a number of days, but that hasn't stopped him from tweeting with the best of them, posting a total of 24 updates at the time of this story.
If you're a Twitter member, check out Dave's Twitter and maybe even follow him. E-stalking is a much safer way to get your fix.
