The Rock Band: Dove Slimme

We have a new back ground, what do you think, its aweeeessssooome. Just look at the girl man, you just fall in love with Rock maze. Ooooh where were we, eeeh I was to talk about DoveSlimme. I do not know where they go the name or the origin of it (when I hook up wit em I'll let u know, that is if am lucky).

So DoveSlimme, I think this is the only rock band in Kenya that has their own Website. This band is in touch with technology and no celeb in Kenya has such an awesome site. Ooooh got a little carried away. So DoveSlimme was conceived in 2007 by Dimmz who does vocals. But the Band was not born til 2010. There had been no perfect mix of band members til 2010. It is a rock band based in Nairobi, Kenya. And they are ruling the airwaves around here. The band consists of 5 members; Dimmz who does rhythm & vocals, Greg who does lead guitar, Jillian the ka only gal who does Vocals
, Maina(bass) and Ainea(drums).

They released their first single on February 2012, Yelele. It got massive airplay on Radio. It topped local charts in a couple of weeks with many of Kenyan Rock fans staring to identify with the band. Their second single was Party at the Barn, which also shot to the top of the charts within a few weeks of airplay.
The Band has won the Battle of the Bands 3 times and also became the Best Performing Band at Ocktoberfest 2010.
