Anyone else buying the new album today ? Getting great reviews.
The single they released "Black&White town" is unreal. The first time I heard it I knew straight away it was Doves.
I can;t believe that there was people out there questioning whether or not they'd be able for it next time round. Hopefully the new album will prove the doubters wrong.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Yup, I will be getting it today at lunch. I am buying WAY too many cds. Got tickets to the gig too. Anyone else going?
Yep got my tickets months ago, can't wait. The last time they played they were absolutey excellent.Originally Posted by Gareth
Black and White town is a smashing tune alright, does anyone know where the video was shot ?
Can you believe due to the fact I dont listen to radio and I haven't seen any digital music channels and been so busy, the only new music I have been hearing is from albums. Reviews say its good, my mate dislikes the doves and kinda likes it so bodes well!!!
where and when is the gig ?
Monday the 28th Feb in the Oylmpia I believe
As far the video goes it could be anywhere. They are a Manc band but one of the kids has an Arsenal jersey on. Saying that the place looks pretty fcukin depressing so it could be Glasgow. This has more to do with one of the kids wearing an away Rangers shirt.

Got it first thing this morning and it's great. Can't wait for the gig. I'm waaay too excited about Doves for a man of my age - it's unseemly.

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
Yeah we said Glasgow as well. Dumpsville
Did anyone manage to get the wristbands in HMV this morning for the signing on the 28th before the gig ? Missed out myself
What odds on Doves being part of Oxegen this year?
Usually Oxegen/Witness are twinned with the Leeds/Reading/Carling festival so if a band is playing over there on the Sat then chances are they are playing here on the Sunday.
Can't believe James Brown is playing Oxegen. Shocking.

Oxegen is more twinned with T in the Park in Beulogow blahblah place in scotland
So, did we buy it over lunch ? Got it my self and bloody love a few of the tracks off it already. Can't wait to give it a proper listen on the way hom. Hope traffic is brutal
I did Indeed. The Box set with DVD. I listened to the first track of Bloc Party. At 7 when the offie is empty I'll blast it out around the room!!
Single of the year alright, cant beleive it only went to number 6 in the UK charts, would have been a well deserved No.1, guessing the video was shot in Glasgow as well with the neds in that video ....

I thought a poor enough album. Given it a few plays but hasn't hooked me. Aside from Black&White town nothing else standing out.
See a lot of similarities with the last broadcast. Good article about them in the guardian on Friday. Am heading to gig on Monday myself, should be alright haven't seen them live yet.
Anyone go to the gig last night ? They were fcuking excellent ! absolutey superb. Still on a high form it and me ears are still buzzing, one of the best gig's ive ever been to. They were even better than last time i saw them in the olympia, only dissapointment was that they did'nt finish with Space Face (from when they were known as sub sub)
Think they are pretty average to be honest in what is at the minute a thriving music genre I can think of about ten bands better than them.
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Do you have all 3 albums ? the way they evolved with a TOTALLY different sound from when they were sub sub is mind blowing. I cant think of any other bands that can swap instruments half way though a gig !
What Bands would they be as a matter of interest ?
