You would have gotten today's album easily on the Album Review thread. That, I have no doubt. Very hopeful as Jez notes in the interview above that they are back to both new material and perhaps a tour soon!

Cheers!

I am a big fan as are many on here. Was at the last Maine Road game and remember them being on as well as Badly Drawn Boy. First saw them on the Lost Souls tour in a venue Gornikdaze should know the Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton. Never seen as packed then or since. Jimi did a decent solo album and the twins did one as Black Rivers as well. The unofficial 4th member Martin Rebelski did a very good one some years ago. Some people will like the album some people won't. I'm sure whatever happens it won't dampen your love for the band

I gathered that immediately. M62 song on the Heard that One Before was a great play.

Wow, wishing I had seen them back then. Hoping there's still time. I've enjoyed watching the online festivals of footage they've played at on YouTube.

I've listened to Black Rivers, and that helped during their hiatus. "The Ship" had me harkening back to the band I remembered the most.

I sampled Jimi's solo album too. Liked "Lonely At the Drop" the most.

I do indeed - it’s recently had quite a big refurb but I’ve not been since it reopened.
Highlights there for me… The Darkness (yes really!!), Pendulum, ZZ Top and The Black Keys. Great venue!!

Been to the Wulfrun and Civic since the reopening. Basically the same with a bit of a lick of paint but good venues which the area should have. Beer horrendously priced though as usual
 
Last saw Doves at Perry Park in Birmingham a few years back when they did an outdoor gig with Johnny Marr and The Coral.
Seen them quite a few times over the years including various V Festival appearances at Weston Park, at the Kasbah in Coventry, at the Apollo and at City's ground supporting Oasis. Also seen them headlining the Warehouse Project at Piccadilly Undercroft on the same bill as Steve Mason and Mike Pickering.
Also got to see Black Rivers at the City Live event at Manchester Central and at Band on the Wall.
Have always been fantastic live every time I've seen them.

Those sound like some great gigs and venues with some other stellar bands!

I might be due for another UK trip depending on if/where they tour again if all goes well. My adult son insisted we stop for Binley Mega Chippy in Coventry on our way up to Manchester about a year ago, but I don't think anyone was playing at the nearby Kasbah that night. :-)

Cheers!

I've been to the Kasbah a couple of times. The other band I saw there were White Lies who sound like Joy Division, despite them saying their biggest influence is Talking Heads.
 
They played it the last time I saw them (at Manchester Central), but they didn't usually play it. Or I didn't remember it at the previous gigs I'd been to.

Hope some Doves fans on here will contribute on the Album nomination thread this week.

I've been playing their material all weekend, wish I had a vote (LOL), but just getting them out there was much needed with a few who hadn't heard them.

Thanks for posting the The Last Broadcast Documentary YouTube link, I really enjoyed that. :-)
 
Jimi out and about Friday at Piccadilly Records. Think this bodes well for future Doves stuff in the pipeline.

NightjaR (AKA Jimi Goodwin From Doves)
Album Launch
On Friday June 21st we excited to welcome Jimi Goodwin to the shop to celebrate the launch of his NightjaR album, 'Mala Leche'.

From 5pm he'll be doing a DJ set followed by a signing session.

About The Album
Blessing/curse. Division/unity. Love/hate. It’s in the context of a polarising 24-hour, digitised, globally connected world that NightjaR finds its wings. NightjaR being the nom-de-plume and smudged rainbow constellation of collaborative copy-and-paste sound-wrangling and hip-hop from Jimi Goodwin. But it’s here and it’s Mala Leche.

Mala Leche (Spanish: Bad Milk) is 16 tracks of beats and bars, vocals provided by some of the hip-hop artists at the very top of his own, personal home listening lists and interludes that throw back and forth through eras and genres in sometimes playful, occasionally awakeningly abrasive styles.
 



Don't forget if you are in town Jimi is in Pic records at 5pm, got the LP preordered and heading through town from work so if I am there in time will pick up today and hopefully catch some of his dj set.

Also gonna be at Wax & Beans in Bury tomorrow same time
 
I saw them at the Etihad in the car park in 2010, they were very good, even though the rain was terrible that night. I've seen them a few times since, i think one was at the City live thing in 2014, and it always seems to be at a free gig, which is weird.
