About this deal

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.” a b Cashmere, Paul (11 February 2012). "Dexy's Midnight Runners Return After 27 Years". noise11.com .

[7] Although it was named "single of the week" by Sounds, [5] it stalled at number 40 in the British charts, [7] which EMI and Rowland believed was due to Rhodes' poor production. [6] Rowland said, "We learned that early on, that the wrong producer can totally screw your record up." [6] As a result, Dexys fired Rhodes and signed with EMI, and EMI immediately put Pete Wingfield in charge of their production.

The Feminine Divine Live!’ will see Dexys dramatically perform the new album from beginning to finale, followed by a selection of classics and hits (including plenty from ‘Too Rye Ay’). Dexys Midnight Runners were founded in 1978 in Birmingham, England, by Kevin Rowland (vocals, guitar, at the time using the pseudonym Carlo Rolan) [5] and Kevin "Al" Archer (vocals, guitar). Both had been in the short-lived punk band the Killjoys. Rowland had previously written a Northern soul-style song that the two of them sang, "Tell Me When My Light Turns Green", which became the first Dexys "song". [6] The band's name was derived from Dexedrine, a brand of dextroamphetamine used as a recreational drug among Northern soul fans to give them energy to dance all night. [5] While recruiting members for the new band, Rowland noted that "Anyone joining Dexys had to give up their job and rehearse all day long... We had nothing to lose and felt that what we were doing was everything." [6] "Big" Jim Paterson (trombone), Geoff "JB" Blythe (saxophone, previously of Geno Washington's Ram Jam Band), Steve "Babyface" Spooner (alto saxophone), Pete Saunders (keyboard), Pete Williams (bass) and John Jay (drums) formed the first lineup of the band, which began playing live at the end of 1978. [7] 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.

[7] Rowland suffered from financial problems, drug addiction and depression. [29] Rowland said: "I'd been too confident, too arrogant. I thought everyone would hear our new music and go: 'Wow.'" [19] When he went to sign on for a jobseeker's allowance, another unemployed person recognised him and sang "Come On Eileen". [19] Dexys News. "New Dexys Album out in June". dexys.org.

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." a b Smith, Adam (16 March 2022). "Dexy's cancel 40th anniversary Come On Eileen tour due to motorbike accident". Express & Star.

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.

On the one hand I felt like that deep down and on the other hand I was very egotistical at the time. It’s two sides of the same coin really. I know I am somewhat well known and I get recognised a fair amount. Most don’t know who I am, but a fair few who do. It’s kind of a comfortable place now really, and I do quite enjoy it. I feel alright really, generally."

The new version will be called Too-Rye-Ay As It Should Have Sounded. “This is the director’s cut and it’s how it should have sounded, I think,” says Kevin. “But I didn’t want the new title to be too aggressive to anyone.” a b Holland, Roger (10 November 2005).

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.

But it doesn’t mean a lot to be honest with you. If someone comes up and says, I love the new album; now that’s great. Some guy came up to me last week and said, mate that was the album of the year for me. I said God bless you. Another bloke came up to me when I was out for a meal with family last week, and I went to the toilet. He was staring at me, and I knew what was coming and he said, it is you isn’t it? I said, probably.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.” Petridis, Alexis (27 July 2023). "Dexys: The Feminine Divine review – Kevin Rowland worships at the altar of women". The Guardian .

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.

Although Dexys began preparing material for a new album in late 1983, once the touring stopped, the band was reduced to a nucleus of Rowland, Adams, O'Hara and Gatfield. [6] Rowland wanted to explore different songwriting, and Dexys Midnight Runners began recording more "introspective, mournful" music. [19] Recording and mixing the new album took almost two years and spread across Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S; [7] at various times, Tom Dowd, Jimmy Miller, and John Porter were attached as producers. [20] Some seasoned performers, ex-Dexys members, and session musicians made up the rest of the band, including Vincent Crane (ex- Atomic Rooster) on piano, Julian Littman on mandolin, Tim Dancy (who had been Al Green's drummer) on drums, Tommy Evans on steel guitar, and former Dexys members "Big" Jim Paterson on trombone, Robert Noble on organ and synthesizer, and John "Rhino" Edwards on bass. Near the end of these sessions, Rowland and O'Hara's personal relationship broke up, although they continued to work together. [20] Chiu, David (10 July 2015).
