Whilst on the road in Seattle, Doves drummer Andy Williams gave a phone interview to the Detroit Free Press, and had great things to say about the band’s U.S. fanbase…
“We get reviews saying ‘This band should be much bigger than it is. They should be playing stadiums,’ ” Williams says. “But the people who get this band really get it.”
“We’ve had people flying in from New York, and others trailing us down the West Coast, spending a lot of money and travel time to follow the band around. To have people willing to do that, especially in this economy, makes us feel incredibly lucky.”

Doves last night played to a loud sold out crowd at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown. The band were in good spirits, as they put on a solid show. I wasn’t expecting much from Minneapolis in truth, but the crowd were there to have a good time. I’m useless at reviews, but yeah the show was excellent. Nice wee venue too, though they could cut back on the carpet no? ;)
I didn’t get any pictures. I just wanted to go and enjoy the show, may take a few the next couple nights.
Quote of the night goes to the young lass I over heard as I was leaving, saying “I thought they were supposed to sound like Coldplay?”. Such is life, eh? :)
