About this deal

The band performed two new songs, "Manhood" and "If I Ever", on the UK Channel 4 TV show Saturday Zoo The song "It's Alright Kevin (Manhood 2023)" is a re-recorded version of the song "Manhood" which was released before on the 2003 compilation album Let's Make This Precious: The Best of Dexys Midnight Runners and on the live album At The Royal Court 2003.

A mildly "snarling" Kevin: “I dunno, what do you think? I don’t really think about that stuff, that’s intuitive. It’s for an audience to say or for a journalist to say. If you want me to do your job, I’ll charge you. Have you heard the new album?” I tell Kevin I have indeed heard the new album and I found it to be built upon a theatrical core, relevant to today with a nod to yesterday. You can hear the Celtic and soul influences they are famous for, but it is far more than that and in no way treading old ground. Dexys have grown up and this is a very mature album, with some great ideas within it. It’s basically Kev doing just what he wants to do, without having the pressure of having to chase singles radio plays. “That’s exactly what it was,” he says. So he’s a bit calmer now and we carry on……………. There’s one further surprise for Dexys fans: the possibility of a new album. That gorgeous view from Kevin’s balcony really has been inspiring. “A few months ago, I thought to myself, ‘I wouldn’t mind writing a few things,’” says Kevin. “I’ve surprised myself, working on new songs. I won’t say how it’s shaping up, but it’s different from last time.” There is a thread of formal dialogue running between songs, folding in saxophonist Sean Read, keyboardist Michael Timothy and violinist Claudia Chopek, the latter acting as a female foil to Rowland’s male protagonist, who begins entrenched in an oppressive sense of masculinity before moving to somewhere more vulnerable and beautiful, perhaps most persuasively rendered in torch song My Submission, which soars. I’m Going to Get Free is gorgeous, and the louche nature of My Goddess Is conjures up a little George Clinton, and a little early Prince, with Rowland flying across the stage like Nureyev, conveying an infectious sense of renewed wonder and inspiration. 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. 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 ]who say it is only about the music, to me that is only half of it. I loved Roxy Music when I was 18, 19 and thought they looked amazing. It’s daft not to use that side of it. Your album cover; you may as well make that really good, why not? To cut off a dimension, I don’t understand that, it’s not an option for me. All the soul singers always used to look great.” a b c d e f g h i j k l Wilde, Jon (9 November 2012).

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] Rowland became a solo singer with the release of 1988's poorly received album, The Wanderer. [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] 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.

It’s perhaps telling when you consider the answers to asking him to sum up himself and Dexys in just the one word. On Kevin: “Trying.” On Dexys: “Powerful.” A psychologist would have a field day with that; trying. No ego there folks. There’s a new documentary about the band coming out soon. “Nowhere Is Home,” filmed on tour in 2012. Probably destined for a cinema and DVD release, and due to be premiered at London’s NFT on 9th May. There are plans for more shows later in the year too, if the film is well received.

He pauses. “Actually, there was a company dance when I lived in Brighton 15 years ago. I’d just started dating a woman who worked at American Express, who were having their works do at a hotel on the seafront. Nobody knew I was there and… I didn’t really dance, but I watched everyone else dance to it and that was good.”

The final word should go to Big Jim Paterson, the only other member of Dexys to play on every album. How has he stayed the course with Kevin’s intensity and passion since 1978? “Love,” he replies simply. “Love for music, love for Dexys, love for Kevin.” 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] It was three years before another Dexys album, the magnificent but totally hit-free Don’t Stand Me Down. That record was the first time Kevin worked with Pete Schwier, who has overseen the mixing of every Dexys albums since. So, Kevin was happy with how Don’t Stand Me Down sounds, but it took “two years, day and night” to complete and more line-up changes along the way.
