GrooGrux?!

So… there is apparently a new Dave Matthews Band album happening?  

I discovered this fact while watching Saturday Night Live with Erin and Carolyn.  It had been a REALLY long day/week/quarter/year, and we were tearing through the wine with a bit of abandon.  All of a sudden, a commercial comes on for the new Dave Matthews Band album, and I’m POSITIVELY BAFFLED.  And yes, that needs caps-lock because it was really that dramatic.

They’re still a band?  Is this a sketch?  Seriously?  Is Andy Samberg about to pop out?

And what is the title of this forthcoming album?  ”Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.”

THE GROOGRUX KING.  GrooGrux.

At this point I am shouting at the TV, “NO!  THAT CAN’T BE REAL!  THIS IS TOTALLY SNL!”

But apparently this is actually a thing.  Like, a real one.  Apparently someone else is smoking the same sort of crack that my upstairs neighbors do.
