Withdrawn from memory

Doves live review coming soon, but an amusing pre-script(?) to it first. I was going to write about how good it was to finally see a Doves show as I'd never seen them properly before, having only seen them at V2001.

Before the show started at Brixton Academy yesterday, something by The Magic Numbers was being played over the sound system and I had a memory of seeing them as a support act before their first album at the same venue. I worked out that it must have been early 2005, but couldn't think of a show that I'd been to that it could have been.

I've just done some internet research and turned up that it was, yep, Doves that they were supporting. I also found my ticket and saw that that was the one show at Brixton Academy where we ended up with seated tickets without realising. The fact that I'd totally forgotten about it may have as much to do with the huge distance from the stage of the upper balconies there as anything.
