Intro

Hi There,

Welcome to dovesmusicblog.com! The aim of this blog is to document and archive doves in 2009 as they promote their new album Kingdom of Rust. I will post the best press reviews, audio, video & pictures. I will also revisit the past and upload some archive footage of doves (Sub Sub etc) from the past decade and beyond.

Please note: I will not be uploading any audio or video that can be purchased. So please do not ask me for something you can find at your local record store, itunes etc. I will however post up some rare deleted stuff.

Otherwise if you have any requests, suggestions just drop me a line.

NME Review:

Doves up next, were returning to the live scene after more than two years away from gigging action.

The band graced the stage without verbal introduction, greeting the audience by playing opener ‘Firesuite’.

They went on to play songs from their Nationwide Mercury Prize-nominated album, 2000’s ‘Lost Souls’, included ‘Sea Song’, ‘Break Me Gently’ and ‘Rise’.

The band also delved into their previous two records, 2002’s ‘The Last Broadcast’ and 2005’s ‘Some Cities’, playing ‘Pounding’, ‘Snowdon’ and ‘Caught By The River’. The latter song was affectionately dedicated to lead singer Jimi Goodwin’s father.

Doves used the opportunity to try out a handful of new songs, playing ‘Winter Hill’, ‘Jetstream’, ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ and ‘The Outsiders’, all contenders for inclusion on the band’s forthcoming new album.
