I think Dace Doughnut sounds better than Dave!
As regards the new stuff, I think it is important to hear it how the band have chosen to present it by listening to (and, dare I say it,
buying 
) the EPs rather than just going by the snippets in the live gigs. This would give you a better sense of what they are doing now.
Do bear in mind also that they have something like 180 new pieces of music, the sum total of which I sincerely hope we get to hear.
BTW - it's Wherever I
Lay My Hat.
