As reported by Antsmarching.org “The Dave Matthews Band is set to perform on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. A source familiar with the booking schedule for the show says that DMB is booked to perform September 14.” There is no announcement yet from The official site.
Many speculate that You and Me will be played but only the band will know that for sure. Lets Keep our eyes peeled.
The band is hooking everyone up that participates with a free live album, with SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 downloadable album. SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 features live tracks from Dave Matthews Band as well as supporting acts on tour including Avett Brothers, Gomez, Hill Country Revue, Switchfoot, Umphrey’s McGee, and Yonder Mountain String Band. Here’s how to get it, “Look for the SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers and recycling bins at concerts in the venue parking lots, and help keep the lots clean. Recycle at one of the SO MUCH TO SAVE stations or with a volunteer and receive a card with a unique code. Use the code to download the SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 album—for free!

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.
The Dave Matthews Band seems to be pulling a little stunt, posting what appears to be a cropped piece of a larger piece of artwork on the official band page with the title whiskey, as well as posting it on Facebook. Twitter is also connected, as Dave Matthew’s last post was ‘I’m scribbling the cover art.‘ Whether or not this is actually the cover art for the upcoming album Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King is unknown. It could be just what Dave said, a scribble, or it could be the actual thing. The sketch is clearly influenced by New Orleans, where the album was recorded.
Interestingly, as DMBnews.net pointed out, the drawing shows what appears to be a person Falling Off the Roof, a song played just once in 2007.
UPDATE: A second piece has been uploaded by the DMB team to Facebook and on their official site.
UPDATE 2: A third piece has been put on the site. It’s also confirmed that there will be in fact 9 images in total, and that they do in fact make up the cover art for the new album.
UPDATE 3: All pieces have been added. Please see the following post for the full image: http://dmbfansite.org/11153, and for discussion on the album art can be found here: http://forums.dmbfansite.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47

According to The New York Times, the Dave Matthews Band is set to have its own version of the popular iPhone/iPod Touch game, Tap Tap Revenge. Currently, Weezer and Nine Inch Nails have their own versions, with new versions coming out every Thursday. Whether this will be a promoter of the new album due to be released in April is unknown.
