Awaiting Doves arrival on stage. Picture by @michaelsjin
Doves returned to the live stage today for the filming of the new C4 music show Evo Music Rooms. They played the new single Andalucia (twice) as you would expect. They also did Black And White Town. Cheers to Jagger at doves board for the info. The show airs next Friday on C4 in the UK.
You may have noticed the new look doves.net went live today. I think you will agree it looks great. Don’t think the offish site has looked that good in years. If you haven’t already ordered the best of album, then head over to the bonus section of the site. Assuming you have one of the four studio albums on CD, just fire that into the CD drive let the site do its magic and you will get two quid off the Best Of.
If you have nowt going on Saturday afternoon, switch on BBC Radio 2 at 2pm to hear Doves play a couple tracks live for Dermot O’Leary.
I think that’s it for now, though I probably forgot something. More tomorrow no doubt!
Finally, here’s the long-awaited video of the show ‘4music Favourites: Doves’, which aired on Channel 4 in the U.K., nearly a week ago. The show contains brief interviews with the band and live performances of four songs.
The video is an Xvid-encoded MPEG4 AVI file which should be standalone-compatible with most new DVD or AV players which are equipped to play DivX files.
On the NME doves microsite, you can now view a documentary about the recording process of Kingdom Of Rust. Some interesting shots, including what could be a sneak preview of the House Of Mirrors video. It would appear this would have been on the special edition DVD that was advertised early on, but was eventually withdrawn.
Channel 4 aired a 30 minute doves music special Thursday morning, Which included some live cuts. If you are in the UK you can watch the show via this link. I hope to be able to upload the video & audio clips from this at some point very soon.
This is just a brief recap of all Doves’ forthcoming scheduled appearances on UK TV and radio, courtesy of the IMDb UK TV & Radio Guide. Please note that all scheduling and programme information is subject to change.
