Rob Cavallo Talks About the Upcoming DMB Album

To DMB Fans:

This is a formal retraction of the article and interview titled: “Rob Cavallo Talks About the Upcoming DMB Album” published on the front page of Weekly Davespeak on 4/21/08.  The entirety of the interview was a complete fabrication.  An interview with Cavallo did not take place.

The setup for fabrication was extensive.  I was personally defrauded by an individual on the phone, via email, and through private messages.  I was provided both forged documentation and fake references. I feel that my trust was personally violated.

Weekly Davespeak in a large part depends on honest contributions from the Dave Matthews Band community.  A great example of this was when we were approached a year ago by a community member interested in interviewing Tim Reynolds.  That fan set up the interview, conducted and edited it.  In turn, it allowed us to establish a trusting relationship where we were able to again interview Tim recently regarding work in the studio and TR3.  You can read and listen to this real interview here. 

I am very sorry for any trouble this has caused members of this community.  I also wish to personally apologize directly to Dave Matthews Band and to producer Rob Cavallo.  I hope very much to regain your trust through accurate and detailed content and information about Dave Matthews Band in the future.  I'd like to thank Red Light Management for helping clear the air on this issue, and their ongoing support of Dave Matthews Band fan websites.

Kind Regards,

Rob
