BRIDPORT: They’re still good enough!

Dodgy head to the Electric Palace in support of new album ‘Stand Upright In A Cool Place’

AFTER previewing their new album ‘Stand Upright In A Cool Place’ at the Bush Hall in London on February 22nd, the definitive line up of DODGY, Nigel Clark, Andy Miller and Mathew Priest, head to the Electric Palace to kick start their UK album tour on March 9th!

‘What Became Of You’ is the first single to be taken from ‘Stand Upright In A Cool Place’, the brand new album of material from the three original members of Dodgy since the platinum selling ‘Free Peace Sweet’. Rather than following the trend of bands reforming to play their classic albums in full, Dodgy boldly announced that on their recent, extensive UK tour, it was their new album that would be previewed live in its entirety. Luckily it was a gamble that paid off; the tour was successful, audiences enthusiastic and ‘What Became Of You’ just one amongst several highlights from the new material.

Nigel Clark (vocals/bass guitar), Mathew Priest (drums/vocals) and Andy Miller (guitar/vocals) decided to regroup as Dodgy after they came together at the funeral of one of their original crew members; it was hard to remember why there had been a hiatus in the first place and very soon afterwards they got together and quickly rediscovered their creative chemistry.

As well as debuting tracks from their new album, Dodgy promise to play their well loved hits of ‘Staying Out For The Summer’, ‘Melodies Haunt You’ and ‘So Let Me Go Far’.

West Dorset music fans can see Dodgy live at Bridport's Electric Palace on Friday, March 9th as part of a nationwide tour. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are £15 in advance, £16 on the door and are available from Bridport Tourist Information Centre in person or on 01308 424901 or book online at www.seetickets.com
