The definitive Dodgy line up of Nigel Clark, Andy Miller and Mathew Priest is back! The first time round, Dodgy were only together for seven years but in that time they sold over a million records worldwide.
In 1998 after completing an exhausting live schedule that had lasted almost two years, the band members decided to pursue their own projects. Since they got back together in 2008 they have played an extremely successful set of reunion shows culminating in an overwhelming finale at the Shepherds Bush Empire, and like prodigal sons, they have been welcomed back to the festival circuit, including legendary appearances at Guilfest, The Wickerman, Summer Sundae, Cornbury a secret gig at The Truck Festival, a headline show at Beached in front of thousands on the beach in Scarborough and they headlined BUGJAM, Whatfest and The Purple Weekend in Northern Spain, and to cap it all they were asked back to play Glastonbury once again.
With a live set including the hits, 'Staying Out For The Summer', 'So Let Me Go Far', 'Making The Most Of', 'If You're Thinkin Of Me', 'Melodies Haunt You', 'In A Room', and the epic 'Grassman', Nigel, Andy and Mathew decided at a very early stage they were not going to rest on their laurels and were confident that their creative chemistry is still in tact. This enabled them to create a new collection of songs, which they began to record at studios in Malvern, and went to Denton in Texas to mix with Matt Pence who mixed the John Grant and Midlake albums, amongst others.
As singer Nigel says, “What’s the rush? We’re gonna take our time to make sure this album is better than our last one… and that was brilliant. The fans deserve it, they’ve waited long enough, so they don’t mind waiting a bit longer”
The album will be called ‘Stand Upright In A Cool Place’ and is set for release early 2012. They will play this in its entirety on tour this Autumn.
