Doves

Inspired by The Cribs thread, one of the most underrated bands of recent years in my humble opinion.

 

Dual vocals, insanely melodic and a wealth of great albums and tunes.

 

A few of my favourites and no doubt a few link fails too.

Great studio and live band.

 

Saw them live twice and they were ace.

 

Hope they get their shit together, patch things up and reform but it looks unlikely.

Funnily enough, I gave them a nudge on twitter to get the band back together the other day. Here’s hoping.

 

I’ve seen them a few times too, I think the last time was at Brixton a few years back. Such a great band live.

Really like Doves, seen them live a few times.  Can’t ever think of them without a note of comic disdain now though, since they did a sunset spot at Glastonbury in around 2005.

 

The crowd gave a fairly lukewarm reaction throughout and Williams kept trying to engage everyone to pure haybales,

badly exposing a lack of presence or charisma. 

 

The abject silence when he first tried to inspire and then be funny was wretched and seemed to knock him off his stride.  He just left a massive pause then awkwardly gave up and went into Snowden.

 

It’s a you had to be there thing, if I’m honest.

Saw these live about 18 years ago and had their first album. Not my cup of tea. I can barely understand a word the mumbling cunts sing. 

Let me get this right. You bought the first album, didn't like it and went to see them play live?

 

Or did you see them play live, didn't like it and then bought the first album? 

 

Or did you buy the first album and go to see them live and not like either of them at the same time? 

 

I have to know before I decide to rep or neg...

Went to see them but was pissed and couldn’t remember the gig. Bought the album and realised I wasn’t keen.

That's a story that deserves a rep unfortunately as I bet you wanted a neg.
