Dave Matthews Band breaks curfew

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - What would you say if Dave Matthews broke curfew? The University of Colorado fined the musician and his band $15,000 - $1,000 a minute - after their concert last week ran 15 minutes past a 10:30 p.m. curfew. "They tend not to go over curfew that frequently, but they were just having a great time and wanted to keep playing a little longer," band publicist Ambrosia Healy said of the July 11 concert. She called the $15,000 fine, levied the next day, a "routine" part of touring concerts. Under a contract with CU, fines would have escalated to $10,000 a minute after 10:45 p.m. The band and promoters grossed about $2 million from the show. The university netted at least $133,000, said J.C. Ancell, associate director of CU's University Memorial Center. The fine will help pay for any overtime for hourly employees at the scene, Ancell said.
