Stunning Opening Night
Doves kicked off their UK tour tonight in glorious fashion with a set full of surprises. Excuse the poor grammer or mistakes here as I type this out whilst using dodgy hotel tv internet & eating Hull’s finest chip buttie! You wouldn’t have thought on tonight’s show they haven’t played a full show in months.
For once I’m lost for words, so I will keep this brief, but will say they probably are playing the best they ever have. Cherry Ghost opened up with a storming set, They let slip the album would be out in July, catch them if you can cause they were brilliant, much better than I remember from 2007. If you want to see the setlist, click the comment as I know some of you regular readers want to be surprised. Next stop on the tor is Leicester tomorrow, until then…

Opening Night
Hull Promo
A promo piece that appeared in the Hull press today, thanks to richtdev for the heads up..
The twice Mercury Music Prize-nominated threesome rose out of the ashes of Manchester dance-heavy outfit Sub Sub, who scored a number three hit with their song Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use).
They decided to radically alter their sound after their studio burnt to the ground in 1996, emerging phoenix-like from the ashes as alt-rockers Doves.
Now, armed with a selection of their greatest hits and some of their older tunes, many of which have seldom –if ever –been played live, the group is heading out across the UK in celebration of its acclaimed four-album career.
Not sure where they got their info from, but it would be great to hear unplayed tracks like Your Shadow Lay Across My Life or Push Me On alongside the obvious Best Of picks.
