2009 Tour Dates Coming Soon?

In what can safely be called "surprising", The Warehouse sent out an email on December 11 announcing that the 2009 Tour Dates for a Spring tour will be announced December 15.

The only thing more surprising than that is the claim from the email that the tour will feature, "songs from forthcoming studio album due this spring. "

Songs? What songs?

if you've been following Dave's Twitter adventures you know that he claims that the new album will feature "all new" songs.

But what is "all new"?

Does all new mean that new fan fav's Shotgun, Cornbread, et al. will make the cut, or is all new just that, all new? Sources tell antsmarching.org that the band had approximately 20 pieces of new music that they could turn into songs - featuring the 2007 session stuff left from last years abortive studio time. The goal for the album, sources say, is to shoot for around 12-15 total songs; but what exactly they will be is still undetermined.

And a word of caution to those searching for the tour dates; things change at the last second, as happened in 2002. So just because you read on the internet that there will be shows in Charlottesville on specific days, it's best to just wait till December 15 for the official announcement; remember, if the tour dates were ready now, DMB management would announce them.
