Doves

Live show review

Sasquatch was a doozy. I wrote a lil bit o' news about a few bands I saw each day via my check-in's for days 1, 2 and 3. There were people having sex during the Decemberists right out in front of {supreme being} and everyone, and I met a TON of Canadians "eh". I saw a kid wearing a fleece pajama jumpsuit all three days (shower? yeck) and my toes have never been as dirty as they were after three days of music and camping. Verdict: sunburned, dehydrated, jolly good time. The itsy bitsy press trailer was anything but cush, so I kept my ass out and about amongst the common-folk gorging themselves on the sweet sweet sounds of Sasquatch. Here is what I heard:

Doves warm up for Sasquatch

at The Crocodile

Honestly, sometimes the reporting gets the best of me, and I can't enjoy those spine-tingly moments as I'm trying to cache the set list and come up with witty words to describe the aural experience. But as I walked out of the Croc, I knew it would be a disservice to not quantify this amazing show. The last time I saw Doves was in 2001 at the Showbox, a show so wickedly loud that my eardrums took a couple of days to recover.

Tickets are on sale tomorrow, officially. But you can get yours now by hitting up Ticketmaster's site, armed with the presale code.
