Festive greetings from doves band

Thought it was time to say hello & write another one of our regular blogs.

For anyone under the impression that we've been sitting back holidaying/taking it easy, they'd be mistaken, we've been grafting hard for the last few months, writing lots & lots of songs / music, last month we relocated temporarily to a cottage in the Peak District, Derbyshire (next to a llama farm - that's the front cover of the album sorted) for a change from our regular M56 studio & it's done us a lot of good, creatively that is.

This record has required a little more writing & work to find a direction, something that feels new to is, that's just the way it us sometimes, but thank f**k we're getting there now.

We're hoping to get in the studio proper Feb '07 to record these songs fast (that's the plan anyway) & we're aiming, all being well, for summer/autumn 2007 release.

Thanks as ever to you lot for sticking with us & have a great xmas & a splendid new year - we'll see you soon.

Bring on some quality sounds for 2007.

Haven't given K-Fed's debut a listen yet, eh DC?

Still waiting for the collectors' edition, LE. Apparently the bonus disc has the sex tape.
