Don't recognise it, apparently it was in 500 Days Of Summer, seen that film approx 3 times and I don't recognise it.

Only does the lil melody thing from the first minute or so, which I feel like I've heard on telly 100x more than the actual song in its colossal, life-affirming entirety.

They were announced for Glastonbury on a Friday night. I remember everyone hoping it was a drunk tweet that would be deleted by morning.

This is a nice gesture and all but why not just announce them at the same time?

They actually did play Glastonbury a lot didn't they? Bodes well for next year.

In 2009 Goodwin said it was their 8th time! Not sure that can be right, but yeah they were there a lot. And he played it solo too. Gotta be a good shout for next year.

Apparently Ashton Gate is the only venue in the able to host their set up, so it sounds like they’ve been exploring other options up to the last minute.

Doves are fucking naff* man, wtf is going down in here? 

(*except There Goes The Fear)

Wonderwhat their setup is.

Is There Goes The Fear the big Doves song? I always thought it was Pounding, maybe that's coz they play it at city games quite a lot.

And believe the hype of their 2009 set, it was top banana.

Yeah I have no idea if Pounding is genuinely a big song, or if it just is to City fans cos they haven't changed the playlist for a decade. Black And White Town I know really well too cos it was on Fifa. And I think There Goes The Fear is the only one I know "naturally" so it's gotta be the biggun.

There goes the fear is their biggest by Miles. It got to #3 in the charts (albeit off the back of them flogging it cheaply)!

Was thinking they might fit the bill for one of those early morning other spots: great live act; indie; not released anything decent for years; and hard to place anywhere else other than slightly higher on that stage anyway!

...to be fair, they haven't been together as a band for years!

Maybe the 'Valerie' royalties have dried up at last. Saw them back in their brief heyday,  they were good live,  but would be amazed if they had much of a following now.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Black and White Town was pretty big too. 

[The Clearest Blue]

Saw Friendly Fires last night, they were a lot of fun, very good and played a couple of new tracks that sounded decent. Even if you’re not a fan of their music you have to get behind the singers dance moves!

I have to admit, I'm pretty surprised at the lukewarm response on here. I thought they were a cracking little band back in the day, even if the last album was a disappointment. Apparently they ended up under pressure from the record company to rush it out before the songs were ready and the whole thing just kind of fell apart after that.

That debut is a stone cold classic - I'm really pleased they're back even if everyone seems indifferent. In the words of their own Abbie Harding - they "were boss".

I wasn't sure about them  until I got a free ticket to a gig and they were great. Saw them on the Other before Groove Armada in the noughties too.

Gutted about Young Fathers postponing their gigs, hope we don't have to wait too long. (and obviously hope they get better and all that)

Fuck good thing I decided to look in here otherwise I 100% would've just headed to Manchester/the venue in a couple of hours.

That's a shame. Hopefully it'll get rescheduled sooner rather than later.

Got an e-mail about it as well. Hope you sort something fun to do out! Realising how small a problem it is for me as apposed to other people as I only live a 10 minute walk to the venue.

I was a bit annoyed I was gonna be missing Nadine Shah tonight but she's cancelled as well so can't even make up for it with that.

Check their twitter. Sad times.

[H.M.V]

Just checked Facebook. Gutted but what can ye do. Gonna hit Christmas markets and go for a nice meal somewhere. Can't cancel hotel now so wull suck it up and make the most of it. It's a pretty nice room so will live it up a bit. 

Hope they get better soon and its not rescheduled for when we're away.
