In an exciting two-part contest, the Official Dave Matthews Band site is tackling social networking. It asks those who enter to start a Facebook Event for a Advanced Big Whiskey Listening Party between May 23 and May 25. The top 100 events with the most members will then win an advanced (but watermarked) copy of the newest Dave Matthews Band album, ‘Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,’ thus making the 100 possible events a reality. Then, those who are hosting are encouraged to record their party, and the host of the party with the most people attending, best theme, and most originality will then “win a trip to meet Dave Matthews and see DMB perform live from the front row at Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL on Saturday, August 15th!” Entries are due May 12, so there isn’t much time, and if you are entering, good luck!

RCA Records have released a press release regarding the free download of Funny The Way It Is, which went online earlier today. The press release also goes into detail about the tracklist of the album, the artwork, and what the different packages of the pre-order will contain.
Two previously unknown songs can be confirmed, Seven and My Baby Blue. Some song titles have changed; You N Me Stripped Down is now You and Me, Cockadile is Alligator Pie (Cockadile), Skwirm is Squirm, and the intro has a name, Grux. This brings the total to 13 songs, and the positions are also confirmed.
In regards to the pre-order, “it will be available in three versions: standard, deluxe (with scenes from Big Whiskey, a documentary on the making of the album) and super-deluxe, which includes bonus tracks, a photo book and lithographs in addition to the CD and documentary.” Also, all fans who pre-order the CD off the website will receive Live Trax 15, Alpine Valley Music Theatre, for free.
Great news today, as the Dave Matthews Band have released their first single off the new album ‘Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King’, Funny The Way It Is. Courtesy of the band, and with Dave breaking the news through twitter, the single can be downloaded for free at the following site: http://rcarecords.com/dmbfreedownload/
At the same site, one can pre-order the new album. There are two options; a CD/DVD set, or just a CD/Digital Download.
UPDATE: A week is up, and thus the free download period is over. However, you’ll be able to download the song on iTunes and other online music retailers.
The Dave Matthews Band released the cover art for their upcoming album, ‘Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King’ on their website as a puzzle. On the site were the 8 images that were released over a couple days, that were scrambled. Once you unscramble them to get the border, the missing piece was filled in, completing the puzzle and revealing the complete cover art.
The cover art features a GrooGrux King float, being the late LeRoi Moore, in what appears to be a New Orleans funeral parade. It is filled with symbolism, most of which we have yet to discover.
The cover art is drawn by the band’s very own Dave Matthews.
The discography has been updated. Full sized image after the break. Enjoy!
Warning: The image is a fairly large file, so old computers beware.
