Found in: Music, NewsDave Matthews Band works on new album, tours
It seems like only yesterday, but that's why we don't trust our intuition. It was actually four whole years ago that that Paste profiled Dave Matthews, calling him "just your ordinary rock star."

Found in: Music, NewsDave Matthews Band Cleans Up Its Act
Dave Matthews Band’s latest project is a breath of fresh air — literally. Through two privately owned energy companies called NativeEnergy and Clean Air-Cool Planet, the band will counteract the 18,000 tons of carbon dioxide it has emitted through various aspects of touring over the past 15 years. These companies fund clean energy projects that counteract the effects of pollution.

The band compensated for 2,175 tons of carbon dioxide generated from its 2004 tour. For more information, about... read more
