Andy recently spoke with L.A.-based lifestyle magazine, LA2DAY, whom have published a very short interview on their site, here.
“We feel like we’re playing our best right now,” Andy explained. The band’s live experience features arrangements of classic songs, like the closer, “Caught By The River,” which is a real treat for the true fans. “That’s half the fun of it,” Andy continued. “You don’t wanna hear exactly how it is on record, you wanna hear a live version of it.”
L.A.-based music blog, The Scene Star has posted a review of last week’s show at the city’s Wiltern Theater.
The band opened with Kingdom of Rust track “Jetstream,” which seemed to mirror the overall performance, as the night continued to build progressively, just like the song.

In a short review posted at their Doves mini-site today, NME.com has described Doves’ recent performance at L.A.’s Wiltern Theater as “a triumphant return”…
“Jesus, man, it’s been a long time since we’ve played here and it’s good that you’re with us,” frontman Jimi Goodwin told the huge crowd, who cheered back in response.
“It’s Saturday night and you’re dressed for a night on the town,” he added, surveying the audience. “There’s even a couple f***ing in the top row.”
