THRASHING DOVES BEAUTIFUL IMBALANCE

[jarhead6173]

Great live! Saw them at a club in lower NYC had to back around 1986.

[richwillrichwill]

I fucking loved this band, and I have no idea why

[richwillrichwill]

@richwillrichwill Right that's it I'm off to watch Red Box.

[emmett12345678]

ken teaches me at the moment!

[boingolol]

say hello to Ken



[hellokit99]

I really miss this band, great music and super nice guys



[pawnsacrifice1]

Saw these guys support Duran Duran in 1988. There first song was met with virtual silence followed by someone shouting "you're shit"

[stoneroses13]

the last time i heard this song was early 90s.. tnx for sharing!

[KINGOFTHEMUSIC2009SP]

Otro de mi lista eterna de favoritos , como sonó este tema en Uruguay, amo Beautiful imbalance, me hace recordar a Fm del Sol....que nostalgia, como extraño fue 87 u 88 no  recuerdo es para mi otro favorito

[1bazmooster]

blast from the past,good track though

[caine7sfg]

Wow did Thatcher give these guys he kiss of death, remember the first airing of this..good pop song..

[boingolol]

thanks for them

[Timmybear]

@caine7sfg - She also selected it as a great video on some jukebox jury type show, praising it for its colours and movement, when she guested on its panel.

[splendorcalrisian]

I have had these lyrics stuck in my head for days. So happy to hear the song in its entirety. I loved this so long ago, Thanks for the flash back.

[JasonVanBoylan]

The guitarist Ian Button recorded my demo the other day :)

[boingolol]

GReat!! how does it sound?

[TheAnxiousMan]

Best band in the world.

[bluehairspaz]

its weird, i remember that when they came out the hype was incredible like they were the next duran duran and then nothing happened and they were completely forgotten by history.

[abbondanza23]

saw the Doves at the old Ritz in NYC in the 80's...good show...Jesus on the Payroll rocked the house....

[bob2006ty]

lol thatcher wrecked these guys in about 1 minute. shame.

[vastariner]

It says a lot about the trendies that they turned off the Doves just because Maggie T liked them. What does it matter what other people think?

[drlovepants]

was just playing the album this afternoon. thought i'd look them up on here. love this; his voice reminds me of lloyd cole (listen to perfect skin)

[14rnr]

I'd write and perform with these fellas any day they asked!

(I'm not a student, been playing for 20+ years)

[kristavb]

Brilliant. Thank you for posting this.

[spacetrey]

kens a brilliant frontman...He's such a cool guy. he's probably the nicest musician ive ever had the privelege of meeting

[boingolol]

hey there cool, do you still have news from the singer?

[spacetrey]

Yea, he teaches Song writing and Music business at the "Institute of contemporary music performance". he still writes music but im not sure what the thrashing doves situation is.

[MissMisstreater]

tis true, i just had songwriting with him!

[spacetrey]

Then you'll know how much of a diamond geezer he is :) next time you see him tell him James from G6 sends his regards.

[louisalive]

@spacetrey he's my music business teacher haha, I'm rather impressed, i've never heard his band before

[fractur92]

@louisalive same haha

[KaiDarkSnake]

@spacetrey Yeah he's awesome. He's been teaching me music business and songwriting classes for about a year and a half now. He's great fun!

[zakwilks]

good song,pity mrs thatcher pissed on their chips by saying she liked it,thus making them not so cool! but i like em

[Bigwheelneil]

One of the classic 80's cuts... I still play this vinyl quite regularly! Thx for the video!!!!

[mabbrey]

great stuff

[boingolol]

yes sa

[owenklgc]

"How did you get your mind to tilt like your hat". I always got such a kick out of that line. Bedrock Vice was a fantastic record and this brings back many great memories.

[boingolol]

thanks, there is something in this music that sounds pure and comforting...

[DannyCFC]

I've got it on 12" but had never actually seen the video! Thanks

[boingolol]

:):)

[evangelinedolly]

OMG loved Thrashing Doves. Was on their guest list - spent many a happy hour driving around the UK to their gigs. Thanks so much for posting.

[boingolol]

WOW!!!!!!!!

[thomrook10]

Possibly the single best way to destroy a band's fledging career - Margaret Thatcher saying on Saturday Superstore that compared to the other songs she heard she quite liked this one.

I loved it too based on the short clip, and I'd been unable to find it anywhere, so thanks a lot for posting, but it might have been better to not say anything, Ms Thatcher...

[boingolol]

thanks , i also love the queen is dead by the Smiths ...:)

[boingolol]

thanks i appreciate

[karimamir]
