The Doups are currently gigging Portugal, planning their first UK Tour and recording their debut album, out early 2010.

The Doups present their debut release.

A Portuguese indie/rock band formed in 2007 in Setúbal, the band consists of João Rodrigues (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Nuno Cunha (lead guitar and backing vocals), Gustavo Andrade (bass guitar) and André Rosa (drums and percussion).

‘Six O’clock Shadow’ introduces The Doups as a band overflowing with energy. Big guitar riffs pull you one way, just as the vocals sneak in with effortless charm the other. Comparisons to The Strokes and The Hives have been made and not unjustly. A perfect introduction for their debut album (currently in production), due early 2010.

An invitation to record in Southern Studios, London, with producer Harvey Birrell saw The Doups enter and win best regional garage band to pay for their flights to the UK.

While tracks were still being mixed, The Doups entered a special mix of "Try Lie Die Whatever" into the Supajam "Fast track to Heineken FIB" Competition with over 900 other bands across Europe and over 1600 tracks.

The band was announced as TOP 5 finalists and flown to London to play a show with 4 other bands in front of 7 music industry judges. Finishing, as "runners up", Supajam released "Try Lie Die" (supajam mix) digitally. In October this will be officially featured on Apple and Turner Broadcasting as single of the month, and Vidzone, featured on Sony PS3 and PSP.

Recently completing a promotional FNAC tour of Portugal and appearing at Portugal’s Rock One festival with The Offspring, The Doups have announced more dates for September and October with plans for their first UK tour to be announced shortly.
