Soiled Doves

Seattle’s Soiled Doves are history - although the group’s brief existence in no way reflects its significance in the scheme of things. The band emerged in the late 1990’s as new-wave upstarts The Vogue, and by 2001 had mutated into the 4-piece Soiled Doves. Three of the four members went on to form the critically-acclaimed Chromatics, while vocalist Johnny was on loan from local heroes The Blood Brothers. Soiled Doves released a single on King of the Monsters label, then ventured into Paradox Studio to record a full-length. Before the album was finished, it was decided that the group would lay itself to rest - Johnny’s commitment to The Blood Brothers was compromising his time, and the band were eager to get on with touring, etc. So, after a single west coast tour in the summer of 2001, Soiled Doves disbanned.
