Tour Starts Back, Webcast, and Common Names for $200 Please, Alex    
Posted by Jake Vigliotti 8/14/10 1:47pm
The fortnight break for Dave Matthews Band is no more; the tour starts up August 14 (that's tonight if you're reading this on August 14) in Wichita, KS. It's the band's first show in the place where Dorthy got her tornado on since 2007.

If the break has been just too much for you, don't fret, the August 15 show from Denver will be webcast, according to The Warehouse. DMB starts at 10:30 et, so you better take a nap during the day if you want to stay up late! (East coast folks only on the nap)

Also, have you ever wondered what it'd be like if you were named Dave Matthews? Probably not, considering that the Matthews last name is the #169th most common out there. After all, there's a professional piano player with the same nomenclature as the guy we call "Dave". But you've probably never imagined what'd it be like to be named Dave Matthews, write for a sports website, and have questionable taste in music. Wonder no more, that song has now been sung. Kinda funny that the guys name was supposed to be Robert Randolph. But it could be worse, you could be this kid.

Farm Aid 2010 and NFL Kickoff Shows    
Posted by Jake Vigliotti 8/8/10 9:33pm
The Warehouse announced that Dave Matthews will perform at the 25th anniversary of Farm Aid October 2 in Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI. The 25th anniversary show is titled, "Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America". Warehouse members can order tickets now for the event.

NBC-TV let it slip that Dave Matthews Band will be performing the NFL Opening Game Kickoff in New Orleans on September 9. The actual performance is free, and will be televised to an extent on NBC prior to the Saints/Vikings game that same evening. Most likely the concert will occur right outside the Superdome, but the official word on where exactly DMB will play hasn't hit the internet yet. Taylor Swift, who of course writes her own songs in case you hadn't heard, is the other performer for the NFL Opening Game Kickoff.

Live from West Palm Beach    
Posted by Matthew Yette 7/30/10 11:02am

antsmarching.org has invaded the PGA Resort and Spa for our third Official Ants After-Party. What better time to let everyone know what we'll have in store for you, and rub it in the faces of those that aren't showing up.

• Lunch Buffet Special - $15 per person, with an incredible menu - Friday and Saturday from 12p-3p!
• Drink Specials at the Pool - $6 Cuba Libre's Friday, the PGA National's world-famous Mojitos for $6 on Saturday (The Bacardi Girls will be there on Saturday also!), and $6 Bloody Mary's on Sunday for recovery purposes.
• Exclusive Soundboard unreleased Dave Matthews Band show! As we did at our Charlottesville party in 2009, we will be playing an unreleased soundboard show at the pool on Saturday. The live show will start at noon-ish. Don't miss out!
• Live Stream - We felt so bad for everyone not making it down to West Palm Beach, so we decided to stream live from the Pool and the parties. Just check out this link to watch the pool and party action.
• The Big Ballroom! - We're moving the action out of the iBar for the 2010 party and into the ballroom! There will be 7 bars set up in the ballroom, so you can get your drink on! And don't forget the live acoustic duo that will be performing both nights! Ron Rotondo rocked the house two years ago, and now that he performs as an acoustic duo, he'll doubly rock the house!
• Starr Hill Beer Will Be Flowing! We are pleased to announce that Starr Hill, the beer brewed in Charlottesville, VA, will be available at the PGA National! The Amber and Jomo Lager will be the featured beers (they are both awe$ome).
• Plus we'll have Ants T-shirts, and other goodies and a few surprises!

Live Trax 18 - Virginia Beach    
Posted by Jake Vigliotti 7/24/10 2:45pm

Live Trax 18 is all set, and again the release is from the 1990's. According to The Warehouse, the latest release will be 6.4.96. The set is very solid, in support of Crash, although this was a time before some of the songs were jammed out, so you'll find #41 and Lie In Our Graves checking in around the 7 minute mark. The show also features a very rare full-band Deed Is Done, the first full-band official release of the song. There is also a little jam between Dancing Nancies and Warehouse that is basically the song Rain, although it's in a different time signature.

The mixes on the Live Trax have been very good lately, and this one falls in line with that. We think it might just be the best mix yet. Dave also feels a bit nostalgic during the show, and he mentions the old days of how the band started during the intro to Nancies. He also uses Lie In Our Graves as sort of a PSA to remind people to take chances in life. Overall, it's a very solid show.

You can pre-order here. The release date is August 31.
