Dave Matthews Band 'Poopgate' Gets The Documentary* Treatment

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Aug 10, 2015 7:46PM

The day the Dave Matthews Band's tour bus took a dump on the citizens of Chicago, leaking human waste over the Chicago River and dousing an architectural boat tour passing underneath the Kinzie Street Bridge is truly a stain on the history of Chicago.

Most citizens long ago chose to forgive Matthews and his merry band of troubadours. However today, as the 11th anniversary of the dark event flows across our calendar, Consequence Of Sound has put together a short documentary* to make certain the city never forgets the horrors of that day.

*We're using documentary in the loosest sense here, since, while the facts in the video are accurate, we do have our doubts about the "eyewitness accounts." So let's categorize this as more fauxcumentary, shall we?
