COOL ON THE INSIDE; Dove Slimme's new EP

Dove slimme launched their first EP on the 6th of July to much fanfare at Tree Tops restaurant. Backing up the ensemble were Parkinglotgrass and claymore project. Dubbed Cool on The Inside, the Kenyan rock band says its about state of mind and not forcing issues.

"Live it! Love it!Rock it! Everyone is cool on the inside, you just have to find that place" -Dove Slimme

The EP has an edgy urban feel to it
 The EP has an edgy contemporary rock feel to it typical of Dove Slimme. In relentless pursuit of the 'unkown unkown' Cool on the Inside would not be complete without the experimental mixing of English and Kiswahili as in the track Leo ni Leo. Some ululation is thrown in for good measure. Dove Slimme told Kenyan rock band  they wanted to have fun with the sound as well as telling stories. The six track EP features Dove Slimme's own version of the national anthem, Leo ni Leo, Party at The Barn, Vertigo, Identity and Yelele. Kenyan Rock fans may already be familiar with the hits Yelele and Party at the barn. Leo ni leo was singularly released two weeks ago. This Kenyan rock band is not resting on its laurels though. Dove Slimme is already working on new material to be unveiled soon. An album is in the works with what will go into it largely depending on the response to the EP. You can get your own copy at the Hedgehog Creative at Sarit, Textbook Centre or simply call 0721607177 to have it delivered. Cool on the inside will soon be available online as well. Dove Slimme is planning a  series of gigs and shows to promote their EP so be on the look out. Check out their website doveslimme.com and revebnation page and stay informed.
