The Black Doves

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorThe Black Doves are dead. After losing a singer...again and a not so plesant 'discussion' between members everything kinda fell apart. Rather fiting I guess. However, keep a look out for future projects that have been set into motion. Who knows, a proper farewell gig may yet happen... or maybe not... The Black Doves: sexy, violent, fragile and sharp... Their music explores the extremes of human relationships. The band features dual lead male/female vocals over rock synthesizers, disco drum beats and driving guitars. The songs are catchy, honest and stabby!
