Boston Review
Finally, a Boston review has appeared online:
Good things come to those who wait. The Doves, who spent four years flying under the radar after wild success with 2005’s Some Cities, returned to Boston on Sunday night to end a US tour on a pleasantly haunting note.
An excellent setlist set the spellbinding tone at the House of Blues. Touring in support of their latest album, Kingdom of Rust, Doves started the Boston show with three new tunes. The first “Jetstream”, with its slow-building structure, readied the crowd for the rest of the show’s chilling surprises. The band powered through a mix of old and new songs, mostly new, which revealed fans’ approval of the Brit band’s new work.

Also, thanks to Nate for making us aware of these videos from the Boston show.

Question: Deciduous or Evergreen?
Answer: Evergreen. Because it’s fresh and invigorating.

Montreal Review
Friend of the blog Genevieve, sent us in her review of the Montreal show. A Lovely review, considering English is not her first language.
DOVES @ LE NATIONAL, MONTREAL 06.02.09
First of all, to be honest with you, this night I was supposed to see 1990s instead of Doves. But since the Glasgow-based band cancelled their whole North America tour at the very last minute for “unforeseen (sp?) reasons” and as Doves were playing on the very same night, I decided to go. But, don’t worry, it wasn’t a torture for me as I really love this great band from Manchester since about 8 years and I’ve already experienced them live in 2002, so I was very excited to see them again!
The support band, Wild Light, was already onstage when I arrived at the venue. I looked at them without paying any attention. I couldn’t give them a music style. Indie? Rock? I don’t know..they were good but, not really my cup of tea (sorry!).
At around 45 minutes past 10, Andy, Jez and Jimi hit the stage of the boiling National (because in fact, it was boiling inside the venue). They started with the astonishing Jetstream to the pleasure of the crowd. Many people, including myself, were singing along. Then they played Snowden, Winter, Rise, Pounding (really at this very moment, I jumped like nuts as this song is obviously my favourite Doves’ song), Words, 10:03, Kingdom Of Rust and Caught By The River was another beautiful moment of the concert. This song is powerful, especially in concert. Then the band left the stage but came back about 5 minutes for an encore and what an encore! They played four tracks: Firesuite, Here It Comes (it’s always great to see Jimi and Andy switching positions for this song), The Last Broadcast and There Goes The Fear. This song is always good live because at the end, I can’t resist to the fact of dancing as I was the Rio Carnival, hehe!
But I was a tiny bit disappointed they didn’t play Catch The Sun and The Man Who Told Everything though. But, hey! They need to choose between so many songs so, I forgive them! The concert was amazing!
What a great night it was! Doves is a magical band! Jez, Andy and Jimi are all talented and experienced musicians.
Cheers lads and come back in Montreal soon!

Thanks Genevieve!
Jez Advises Fans To "Get Ready"
In a recent telephone interview with phillyBurbs.com, Jez has strongly hinted that Doves’ next output will be a departure from the current album, Kingdom Of Rust.
The Doves, who also includes vocalist-bassist Jimi Goodwin and Jez’s brother/drummer Andy Williams, believe that “Rust” is a good stepping-off point for the band.
“It’ll be interesting where we can go from here,” says Williams. “I think that ‘Rust’ proves that we can do anything we want to do. We challenged ourselves a great deal this time because we’re not content to put out the same old thing. It worked out as well as we could have ever hoped. It’ll be interesting to see what we do next. Just get ready for it.”

Spaceface In DC
Sounds like it was a great night in Washington DC. Setlist below, thanks to friend of the blog, NLF.
You can add Spaceface to the setlist! First time on the US tour. Must have been a good one. Reviews as we get them.
Philadelphia Review
An excellent review of last night’s show at Philadelphia’s Trocadero:
The Doves thankfully hit the stage to musically deodorize the stage after that Hampshire funk was spread out like grandma wrecking the bathroom after fudge and crab cakes on a humid July day.
I came away with two things after seeing The Doves live : #1 Jimi Goodwin’s voice is f***ing amazing, #2 The Doves really write great songs. I was blown away at the endurance of Jimi Goodwin’s pipes. This guy belts out each song with everything he’s got, yet from song one to the final encore, his voice was perfect. And it’s no lilting, Thom Yorke-y type voice, it’s powerful, soulful, and gravely.
