This was produced as a commissioned video for one of the lovely sponsors of our Adelaide show and, for some reason, I've not posted it on my blog until now. I don't know whether it's clear while watching this video, but neither the Socks nor I had ever heard Ants Marching by the Dave Matthews Band ever before in our life until we produced this video. How we'd managed to survive two decades without this US hit single from 1991 crossing our earwaves I don't know, but that's what happened. I can only assume the UK remains the one country on earth where Dave Matthews can walk the streets unassailed by fans pointing and asking him to sing Ants Marching. Perhaps he's more famous to everyone else in the country and it's only I who have remained oblivious to his music and indeed his very existence. Either way, I know him now, and so do the Socks. Hello Dave Matthews, we all hope you're well.

I love DMB, but I've gotta be honest, I haven't seen them in concert since before they made it big. I grew up in the DC area and I'd often visit my friends who were attending UVA. I gonna see them this year hopefully tix prices won't be too high and some of you . They were awesome back then, I'd imagine they are even more so today.
