INTERVIEW WITH ANDY

Check out the official site doves.net for the first of a series of interviews with the band. Today its Andy answering questions about the reaction of the early shows on the current mini tour. Click the doves logo to straight to the interview.

A cracking read. Looking forward to the next installment.

Coast EP

Dan, via the comments box has suggested a track I should upload. The track being Senna from the Angel 12″. I have this vinyl. sadly it is 4000 miles away in storage. So if anyone is able to rip this track and is willing to share. Leave a comment or drop me a line at arcmorality@gmail.com

Failing that. When I’m back in the UK, I will bring this back with me and share. I’m also on the look out for the Todd Terry Spaceface remixes and good bitrate versions of the Lost Souls demo tracks Analog Bass & Blues Tune. I have lower bitrate versions I’m willing to share, but I would much prefer to share better quality versions. Thanks!

Here is a Sub Sub EP I can share right now..

GLASGOW RAVE REVIEWS

This time its The Herald who are giving Doves a five star review for the live show, for the performance at the Glasgow ABC.

Good times.
