- 2006: The band made a video for Experiments With Truth, from the album of the same name. This was recorded as a 'live' video at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff, and can be viewed on the bands MySpace page.
[edit] The Singles Club
The Singles Club was devised in November, by the band themselves. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a way for single Dopamine fans to hook up with each other. It is in fact a club comprising of under 100 members, who all receive a single released by Dopamine on a monthly basis. There are only 100 of each single printed, and any that remain after being sent to The Singles Club members, are then sold on eBay, or via MySpace to the rest of the fan base
[edit] Trivia
- Gareth Davies of Funeral for a Friend was briefly in the band before Funeral.
- Have toured with Lostprophets and are currently touring with Hell is for Heroes (As of February '07).
- They are confirmed to play The Full Ponty 2007 on Saturday 26th May (May Bank Holiday Weekend) with Lostprophets headlining. Dopamine are on the Atrium stage which is headlined by Paramore.
