UK Tour Announced

Head over to the official doves site doves.net to view some special tour dates for April & May that coincide with the best of collection out April 5th.

Here It Comes

Its the calm before the storm here. Later this week I will posting the results of the poll I set-up last year asking you all to name your top five favourite doves songs. Over 1500 of you have voted so the results will be hard to argue with! Thanks allot. I will be asking you all to vote for your one favourite track from the top 20. The main poll will be staying up indefinitely, but if you want your vote to count towards the top 20 then vote before Wednesday.

Othewise no real news. Though do keep your eye on the official site doves.net tomorrow as I hear there will be some news posted there.

Live from Abbey Road On Sundance Channel

If you are in the USA, you will be able to see the Live From Abbey Road tv show featuring doves next month. The show will air on the Sundance Channel April 9th at 8pm EST. I know if you have RCN you will be able to watch the show when you want on demand after the show has aired.

The show was previously aired in the UK last November. Its a good watch if you haven’t already seen it.

Cheers to Rob doves number one fan for the heads up!

Rumour: North American Tour?

Pure speculation here but the Vancouver Sun reports that its rumoured doves will be appearing in the city soon.

If you’re a fan of rumours, keep your ears to the ground for potential news regarding Vancouver appearances from the likes of Cypress Hill, Del that Funky Homosapien and British rockers Doves. (We’ll keep you posted. We promise.)

Will of course post more if I hear of anything. Keep those fingers crossed!

Hear Andalucia Now!

If you fancy hearing the new single Andalucia, then head over to Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable show at the BBC iplayer to hear what I think is probably the radio edit. The track is about 11 mins in! As far as I’m aware, this was the first play on radio?

Listen

Enjoy!

It’s OK!

Find the doves connection in the photo above found at timesonline.co.uk of looters raiding a supermarket in Concepción Chile..

To be honest I would not have had a clue, But thanks to Alex for pointing it out that the black t-shirt (It’s Ok!) worn by one of the looters is a amnesty international t-shirt designed by Jez! Strange but true apparently.
