A new gig poster designed for Doves! The blurb about it here..
I like the Gigposters. I ´ve made some posters for music events in my recent work. At same time i ´ve done some “Not real” posters, just to tribute to several bands i love. And obviously, Doves are one of this bands.
Here ´s the poster i made a year ago.
Dr. Juanpa
Very cool Dr! You view this and more of the Dr’s work here.
Jimi once again sat in for Guy Garvey on his 6 Music’s Finest hour last night. He will do so again this coming Sunday (Nov 18th) from 10pm.
You can listen to last night’s show in full here, it will be archived until next Sunday.
Raized by Wolves have released a bunch of Spirit World remixes as a download EP. For more info/links visit their facebook.
There are some great fan tribute videos out there, this one tops the lot for me. Done by forum big man Teppin. Its quite emotional really, makes you miss going out to the gigs, meeting fellow fans and all that makes the gig experience something to remember.
Well worth a watch, if you enjoy it let him know at the forum or by liking the youtube video!
Doves are one of a number of bands who are having their back catalogue re-released as part of a EMI 5 Album Set series. Its essentially the five original albums packaged together, don’t be expecting any remastering, extras etc. For the asking price of £13 ($ 19.81 in the US) you cannot expect much more. Certainly an economical way for those who may only have the best of, to own all the studio albums, and the Lost Sides 2003 reissue.

In Doves news, the band are featured on a new 6 music live compilation CD, to celebrate 10 years of the station. Considering we nearly lost the station a couple years back, 10 years should be congratulated! Doves participation is an acoustic version of The Cedar Room performed on the Lauren Lavern show on April 14th 2010, it was just Jimi & Martin Rebelski in the studio that day.
You can listen to a snippet of the track at 7digital here.
Jimi explains why he loves Talk Talk in an extract from the Spirit of Talk Talk book in Q magazine.
Fast forward to 1991 and to Doves (or Sub Sub as we were then). We were still in the grip of dance music when Talk Talk’s next release Spirit of Eden came out. Andy Williams was the first to buy it and we would come in from clubbing somewhere in the wee smalls and put this record on. Probably the only so-called rock record at the time that we would listen to.

After much speculation and rumour, Raized By Wolves have finally revealed themselves on their official website. Raized By Wolves is Jez Williams, Martin Rebelski & Mike TV. They released their debut single The Call last September, a track which features vocals by Tom Smith of the Editors. You can hear the track on their soundcloud. After a long absence presumably writing. they release their second single Spirit World on September 23rd.
The blurb on the site says:
Jez Williams, Martin Rebelski and Mike TV are the vision behind the ever mysterious Raized By Wolves. Creating an enticing blend of classic progressive house, modern electro and high voltage electronic music, their sound, which hits that ever so rare sweet spot between floor filling dance music and credible pop, is showcased on their new single “Spirit World”, released September 23rd on Rocket Records.
Following on from their debut single “The Call” (which was released on deadmau5’s label mau5trap last year), “Spirit World” showcases perfectly the trio’s ability to create progressive house euphoria –a stunning, delirious, 5 minute journey through progressive house and radio friendly pop, taking in vibrant synth lines, instantly addictive melodies and strikingly gorgeous vocals by newcomer Anne-Marie, a 21 year old British singer/songwriter starting to make waves on the scene with her own fusion of electro, R&B, hip hop and pop. It’s a giddy pop song of gigantic proportions, and one which deserves to be huge in its own right.
