Doves

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Previously unreleased track off their forthcoming compilation album, originally from the "Kingdom of Rust" sessions...

It needs to be said if not prior, but some of the unreleased tracks that never made it onto Kingdom of Rust give many tracks that did a good run. I love this song, Andy's drums starting this off, Jez's guitar hooks, the backing vocals, and of course Jimi.

In other words, Doves have some damn good extra material. I wish I had heard this YEARS ago, but I will take it now, thanks @staffsblue.

Anyone going to the Apollo on Saturday? Fear it won’t be quite the same without Jimi, but looking forward to it anyway.

Me and the Mrs are going.
Can't wait but like you say it isn't going to be the same without Jimi.
You never know he might make a guest appearance with it being their hometown gig but I think it's pretty slim.
I'm still buzzing from seeing the charlatans last week at the academy, they was fantastic so I'm double up for it seeing Doves.

I’m going. They’re obviously not the same without Jimi, some of my favourite songs of all time are my favourites because of his voice and the way he sings them… but they were still great at Aviva back at the start of the year, you won’t be disappointed!

Anyone going early, try and catch Arkayla. Just been to see them at Academy 2 and they were great!

Another cracking gig.

Obviously, Jimi was missed and always will be when he’s not there… the tones of his voice suit so many of Doves’ songs… but musically, they are a fantastic band.

Coming from a dance music background, they’ve always been brilliant at building a song to a peak and banging it out to make the song get you in the feelies.

They always have and always will be one of my favourite bands.

I thought they sounded fantastic last night but like @.db. said Jimi's voice gives them songs that feel and sound but they put on a great show.
The queue for the bar was another story.
