Thrashing Doves

Thrashing Doves were a British London-based rock band. Their line-up consisted of Ken Foreman (vocals/guitar) with Brian Foreman (keyboards), Ian Button (guitar) and Kevin Sargent (drums). The original bass player was Hari Sajjan. Subsequent bass players were James Eller, Claire Kenny and Gail Ann Dorsey.

The band were a support act for Duran Duran in 1989.

Background information
There is some evidence to suggest that their career was irrevocably harmed when British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher expressed fondness for their video for "Beautiful Imbalance" when she saw it on Saturday Superstore. This came to be known as The Curse of Thrashing Doves.

They changed their name to The Doves for their third album, not to be confused with the Manchester rock band Doves.

The Foreman brothers and Sargent went on to become writers, producers and composers for media.
