I hate to bring this up but I watched Wild Combinatiom: A Portrait of Arthur Russell last night

I like Arthur Russell and Dave Matthews but different strokes for different folks you know

so al i right ln thinking these guys are p much a contemproray US Genesis who never registered in the UK?
my partner has a soft spot for them after seeing them live while travelling in her 20s and wants to see their UK show. We watched a few live Youtubes and you know what, it wasn't half as terrible or bland as I'd expected it to be from the bleating I hear from the US contingent on ilm and elsewhere.
still, tickets are £80 fuckin quid :-(

Genesis would be a Very British comparison that makes sense only insofar as Peter Gabriel is interested in South African music, which didn't happen until later, no?

no analogue comes to mind, because I don't think there is one, musically or sociologically. they're more like Chris Martin and Savuka, though that has nothing to do with the traditional American music that very few British bands do, and would probably be better than DMB..

We Interviewed the Wrong Dave Matthews but Now We Know What a Paralegal Does

A friend of mine has a friend who played some benefit with Dave Matthews. Apparently, no surprise, he's a nice enough guy, but the story I heard was that he was hanging backstage talking in a regular voice like a normal person, and then hit the stage and bam! Muppet voice.
