DMB Week 2009

by Patrick on June 2, 2009

big-whiskey-and-the-groogrux-kingIn 2002 I followed The Dave Matthews Band around New England over five days where I saw three shows (two in person, one online) in what I dubbed, “DMB Week.” Last year I spent back-to-back weekends going to DMB shows in New York and Virginia.

It’ll probably be awhile til I can afford to spent an extended amount of time following the band but none the less I’m happy to celebrate a DMB week once again.

The band’s new album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, drops today and if I’m lucky I’ll get my pre-ordered copy today and I can enjoy listening to the album after my happy hour with Rebecca.

The band is pulling out all the stops in celebrating the release of the new album, Sunday morning the band kicked things off with a story on CBS Sunday Morning.

Other happening going on this week:

I’m very excited to have DMB on the mind throughout the week, however I don’t even know when I’ll be able to see them on tour this summer! My sister’s engagement party is going to be on the same weekend I originally wanted to see the band in Bristow, so now I gotta find another date this summer to see the band- any suggestions where I should travel?

    Hey Patrick, You can still come to Chicago–they’re here on Sept 26. Or if you’d rather just road trip, try the show in Scranton. Maybe you could pick up some Michael Scott Paper Company souvenirs while there. I watched about 30 mins of the Fuse show–awesome–and tivo’d the rest. I’m looking forward to seeing it all.

    Len: Chi-town is a place I want to make it out to sometime but I’m looking for a road-trip kinda place and I do like the idea of Scranton/Office trip….

    Deutlich: I do know one of your friends doesn’t like DMB :-) Also the dmb in my name stands for Dave Matthews Band…

    Alice: I think you’re more too busy than too lazy to follow a band

    I just don’t get the whole following bands around thing. It must be a gene I’m missing.

    I was goingggg to suggest NC..but apparently they arent playing there! My next suggestion..West Palm Beach!

    I’ve never followed, but if I could folow, there’s a handful of people/bands I’d want to see.

  • http://noticedfromnorthwest.wordpress.com/ NoticedFromNorthwest

    No suggestions as to where to see them, but what do you think of the album so far?

  • http://www.dmbosstone.com Patrick

    LiLu: If the entire 80′s catalog was a band I know you’d follow it.

    Nicole: A little too far south for me…

    f.B: DMB is probably the only band I’d follow- there’s only two other bands I’d go out to see and they don’t tour as tightly as Dave.

    NoticedFromNorthwest: I haven’t heard the entire album yet but I’m liking what I heard so far.
