About

Doves are an English indie rock band formed in 1998, from Wilmslow, Cheshire. The band is composed of singer and bassist Jimi Goodwin and twin brothers, guitarist Jez and drummer Andy Williams.

The band released six studio albums between 2000 and 2025, three of which reached number one on the UK albums chart. The band also achieved two top-ten singles in the UK: "There Goes the Fear" (number three in 2002) and "Black and White Town" (number six in 2005).

The trio was previously Sub Sub, a dance act with a 1993 hit. As Doves, they released their debut album Lost Souls in 2000, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Further success followed with their sophomore album The Last Broadcast, which was their first UK number-one record.

Doves entered a hiatus in 2010 after four albums as Goodwin began a solo career while the Williams brothers regrouped as Black Rivers. The band reformed in 2018, performing shows in 2019 and releasing a new album, The Universal Want, in 2020. Because of mental health issues, Goodwin has not performed live with the band since 2019.

Doves est un groupe de rock alternatif britannique, originaire de Wilmslow, en Angleterre. Formé en 1998, le groupe est composé de Jimi Goodwin (bassiste, chant, guitare acoustique) et des frères jumeaux Jez Williams (batterie et chant) et Andy Williams (guitare et chant), les trois étant nés en 1970. Martin Rebelski (au clavier) est considéré comme le quatrième membre du groupe, même s'il n'en fait pas officiellement partie.

Sur scène, les différents membres du groupe n'hésitent pas à échanger leur instruments, et si Jimi Goodwin reste le chanteur principal, les deux frères Williams chantent également sur certains morceaux. Le groupe se met en pause en 2010.
