Default DMB likely to play South Africa in 2010 according to iafrica.com (merged)

So, it looks like they may try to make it to South Africa soon. Soon being 2010. If this is the case, would yall go? I have been trying to determine whether to go to the World Cup in 2010, this will push me over the edge and hit up South Africa.


Check it out here.

I thinks it's about time. Everyone needs to give back to their motherland. But I remember hearing from many who have visited SA, that most South African citizens dont know who Dave is. I mean does he have any following like he does here?

I think back to the story of Eh Hee and its roots, you know it would be a special show. All it takes is marketing, and I think the band and the venue could promote the heck out of a show there. Especially if around the World Cup, many international fans would be around.

Even if it is a smaller venue, maybe like a 3,000 person venue, that would be even sweeter. So, just depends on what they intend to do.

It could just be a Dave & Tim show? Who knows!

Even if the band doesn't have a big following down there, have to start somewhere ya know? even if its a festival of some kind, Maybe finally doing a show will bring fans around.

I think this is a great idea, I'm sure Dave has always wanted to go back to South Africa to do a show there.

I'm sure South Africa will love the DMB!!! They're great. If everyone likes them here of course they will gain a great fan base there!
