DAVE MATTHEWS

BIO >>
The Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in early 1991, when vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape. Instead of simply recording himself with a guitar, he opted to bring in some instrumental help to give his musical ideas more depth, and hence formed a band. On November 9, 1993, DMB released its first album, Remember Two Things, on its Bama Rags label. The album debuted on College charts as the highest independent entry, and went on to be certified gold by the RIAA -- a significant accomplishment for an independent album. Meanwhile, the band kept touring and its fan base continued to grow. By allowing fans to tape shows for their personal use, DMB created a highly interactive community that continues in spirit today. Tori and Dave Matthews were interviewed together for Newsweek Magazine, July 27, 1998. You can read the full article at The Dent. Official Website: davematthewsband.com


QUOTES >>

"No no no, no potty talk... I told Dave Matthews no potty talk. When we did this thing for, I tell you that guy, he looked at me and he is one of the funnier people I've...I've met in my life. Dave. And um, and he looks at me at one point and, and you know I can't talk about any of that stuff. I just, I just can't. And he looked at me and said, 'Tori, I am potty.' And I just didn't know what to do! I just ran out of the room!" -- Tori; WEND 106.5FM Radio Interview, Nov 16, 1998

I: Yeah, well, we actually have just sent some staff to go rip it off the water tower. And there has even been an artist creative enough to come up with, um, shall we say, what's the word, dung? Yeah, they thought that would be a nice little addition for the cows.
T: That must be Dave Matthews. (laughter)
I: He's whacked isn't he, just nuts.
T: No, no no no. When I met him ... he's very sweet ... but he looks at me and, um, we were in Belgium doing some kind of festival, and he looks at me and goes, "Hi Tori, I am potty" And you know ... over french fries, ten a.m. in the morning ... I don't know ... he's obsessed with it, and I'm on his bus. His bus is now our bus on tour. And every time I pass that, um, (whispers) the ladies room, um, all I can think of is Dave Matthews' face. (laughter)
-- Tori; 101.9 The Mix, Chicago 09/15/99

I: There was an interview I read and I don't remember where it was now, but it seems like you had a great rapport with Dave Matthews.
T: Yes. (audience laughs, Tori sighs I'm on his bus now. And my problem is, every time...he looks at me and goes, 'Hi, Tori. I am potty.' And I just, I have such a hard time. He's such a potty mouth. That's all he did for four hours. But he knows it drives me nuts. So we got on. We shared French fries. But I'm on his bus. So every time I pass that part of the bus all I can think.. he's standing there going 'Hi, Tori. I'm a potty mouth.' (laughter) Drives me nuts. Ehh!
