Press Office – BBC says fond farewell to Top of the Pops". BBC. 20 June 2006. Archived from the original on 13 November 2019 . Retrieved 30 January 2020. Jonze, Tim (10 May 2012). "Dexys: triumphant return of the soul rebels". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 29 July 2020 . Retrieved 30 January 2020. The record’s first half is full of music hall-esque swagger, much of it written with original Dexys’ trombonist Big Jim Paterson (a non-touring band member). The second side of the record is like nothing Dexys have done before. A saucy, synth-heavy cabaret, written in collaboration with Sean Read and Mike Timothy. It’s steamy, fizzing and sultry, at times doom-laden and heavy and at other times raunchy and funky. Quite a heady mix.

In 2013 the band announced that they would play nine shows in London's West End at the Duke of York's Theatre, St Martins Lane between 15 and 27 April. [40] These shows would become the basis for a documentary on the group entitled Nowhere Is Home, directed by Kieran Evans and Paul Kelly. [41] Nowhere Is Home was issued in both triple-CD and double-DVD formats in October 2014 on Dexys' own label, Absolute Dexys. [7] Dexys played more live dates in 2014; however, as Hyland was not available for several shows during the summer, Siobhan Fahey replaced her in the Dexys lineup. [42] (Fahey's sister, actress Máire Fahey, had portrayed "Eileen" in the music video and picture sleeve for "Come On Eileen" in 1982.)

# 7 – Plan B

The first single from the album was "She Got a Wiggle", released 28 May 2012. [38] They performed the song on Later... with Jools Holland in May 2012. The group toured in September 2012 in the UK, performing their new album. [39] Talbot left the group following this tour. Petridis, Alexis (27 July 2023). "Dexys: The Feminine Divine review – Kevin Rowland worships at the altar of women". The Guardian . Retrieved 1 August 2023. Bringing in Langer & Winstanley as producers was Dexys’ record label Mercury’s idea, which Kevin happily accepted. “I was impressed with everything they’d done,” he reasons. “They’ll say themselves that they were stumped by how tight we were. We’d worked those songs.

At the same time, I felt it was a shame. I felt a bit fraudulent promoting Too-Rye-Ay, because I knew straight away it wasn’t right. The best you can hope for when you finish an album is that it sounds as good as you can possibly get it at that moment. You feel right when you leave the studio, because you can’t get it any better. After more treatment, Rowland returned once more as a solo performer and signed to Creation Records, although, in his words, "every other record label advised [Creation] against it because I was trouble." [8] In 1997, he released his first project on Creation: a remastered and reprocessed version of Don't Stand Me Down with extensive liner notes, revised credits and titles, and two extra songs, which helped contribute to a significant reversal of opinion with regard to the album, which was now increasingly being re-evaluated and recognized as an unfairly overlooked masterwork. [29] [23] Following this, in 1999 Rowland released a new solo album of interpretations of "classic" songs called My Beauty, which received virtually no publicity or radio airplay and sold poorly but attracted attention for Rowland's cross-dressing cover attire. [8] [29] Rowland limited his pre-release publicity for the album to one interview, and he "auditioned" potential interviewers before selecting Jon Wilde. [8] However, the negative reaction to My Beauty and the demise of Creation Records shortly after its release meant that Rowland's planned follow-up album, which would have featured Dexys performing new material, was never made. The failure caused Rowland more problems; in his own words from 2003, "Four years ago, I was nuts." [29] Later, in March 2010, Rowland said that signing to Creation was "definitely a mistake". [31] Dexys Mark IV: 2003–present [ edit ] Dexys reformed [ edit ] Dexys made its only two live appearances of 2016 to support this release: one at a private reception at the Embassy of Ireland in London on 6 June and one at Rough Trade East in London on 3 June. [46] They also performed two songs on the ITV program Weekend on 11 June. [47] For these three performances, O'Hara temporarily rejoined Dexys in place of Morgan, who was unavailable. [46]

Of course, Come On Eileen is possibly the ultimate wedding song. Has Kevin ever done a knee-slide across the dancefloor to his biggest hit at a wedding disco? “No,” he smiles. “People who know me just stare at me, and I want the next three minutes to be over. It was even played at a funeral I was at once.”

He pauses, not wanting to dismiss the producers who’d had huge success with Madness and Elvis Costello. “Those producers were great. I’m not putting them down, there was just a pop approach at the time.”The crowd weren’t going anywhere mind you, as they waited expectantly for an encore whilst chanting the immortal ‘Geno!’ and stamping their feet in an impatient fashion. They were thankfully and duly rewarded with that very tune, and as that song blared out of the speakers my spine shivered yet again. Dexys at Brighton Dome 19.9.23 (pic Sara-Louise Bowrey) I was trying to go from instinct,” explains Kevin. “But the label were putting pressure on, people were whispering in my ear suggesting this and that, and my manager told me I had to do something really powerful right now. In 1981, he told me, ‘Kev, if you don’t make it this year, you won’t make it next year,’ because he thought I was too old at 27.” Jim says Kevin has asked him to go through the pile of songs he’s written since getting sober. They might revisit unreleased Dexys demos, too. Helen will play in the band if Kevin asks. At the height of his fame he used to hide under a hat and dark glasses, but says he would always sign autographs if he was spotted. But he hated it. “I was getting to the stage where I just didn't want to be seen. I felt so conscious about people looking at me all the time, it just did me (sic) head in because I wasn’t feeling good about myself. When people are looking at you and staring at you, you think; what are you staring at, and it was doing my head in. And the second song, “It's Alright Kevin” reappraises that and says, ‘That's not really who I am. He's looking at his old masculinity and femininity–‘I've tried so hard to being a man, and now I don't care if I can.’” The third song, “I'm Going to Get Free,” he's determined to break free, and the fourth song, “Coming Home,” he's starting to move forward. When the character transforms, the music transforms...it just kind of worked out that way.”

Brad, the plugger, was Roger’s mate,” Kevin explains. “They were so tight, I thought I had no chance of Brad siding with me. Then Roger played Come On Eileen first, and I thought, ‘That’s sealed it, Brad will remember the last song more.’ But then Brad said, ‘Play that first song again’ and, halfway through, he went, ‘That one.’” So it is all about today, not yesterday then? “Totally mate, totally. Even if we do the old songs, and we do some of them, we change them to make them relevant to us now and our audience gets it. They get it. Not just because we are bored and think, let’s just change it and play this. Everyone has a scripted part. They improvise, but we have carefully thought it all out. Add a new section, change the tempo…. Keep it fresh. It’s all about today really. Even the lyrics; In ‘Too-Rye-Ay,’ there’s a lyric about old people and we change it and talk about ourselves getting old in that song now.” So was the name change to Dexys to show you are not wishing to bask in past glories? “Definitely. That was us saying its’ us, but we are different now. We are not like we were and not trying to trade on our past. We are us and we can’t deny who we are. We are Dexys, but it’s different now."Brighton’s sunny weather had taken a bit of a dip at this point in the week, but even this wasn’t enough to prevent the hordes of ‘Young Soul Rebels’ (and many young at heart ones, come to that) from witnessing the triumphant return of Dexys performing on their latest tour, at Brighton Dome.
