I thought to myself, ‘Actually, I could do some music now, because five-six years earlier, I had no intention of doing it,” he says. :I just didn't feel like I had anything musical I wanted to do. But I've got the vitality now, and I thought ‘I've got something I want to say, I've got something I want to express.’” The critical acclaim around Dexys’ 1980 debut album Searching For The Young Soul Rebels, a No.6 hit, and its chart-topping single Geno suggests the two-year transition to Too-Rye-Ay was seamless. But most of the band left as Kevin wanted a whole new direction, only to see the first result of that change – marauding single Plan B – stall at No.58. Show Me went Top 20 in the UK but Liars A To E failed to chart. Read more: Talk Talk – album by album Chiu, David (10 July 2015).

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." 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.) [43] Let the Record Show: Dexys Do Irish and Country Soul [ edit ] 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 September 1985, Dexys released their first new album in three years, Don't Stand Me Down. [7] Production was originally credited to Alan Winstanley and Rowland, although reissues also credit Adams and O'Hara. [21] The four remaining members were pictured on the album cover in the band's fourth look, an Ivy League, Brooks Brothers look, [7] wearing ties and pin-striped suits (except for O'Hara, who wore a grey women's business suit), and with neatly combed hair. Rowland described Dexys' new look as "so clean and simple; it's a much more adult approach now". [9]

Having passed the audition and guested on several shows on the Let The Record Show tour, Helen has joined Kevin and Pete Schwier in mixing the new version of Too-Rye-Ay. “I call Helen ‘The Ministry Of Tuning’ as she’s got such good ears,” enthuses Rowland. The new version of the album will be released in September 2022. With the album being two years old now, he tells me while they are “thinking about other things,” they are not ready for that yet. Still working this one. He speaks about how the live show was centred around that album and has taken on a life of its own. With the album being a narrative, they decided to do the show as a narrative too. Singer and actress Madeleine Hyland usually takes the female role, but she is unable to do the upcoming gigs, due to a three month run in a Shakespeare play in the West End. So ex-Bananarama member Siobhan Fahey has stepped in for these four gigs.

The Feminine Divine emerged out of a period of crisis some years ago, where grief drove Rowland to an introspective place, a space that saw him reconsider many ideas, including his relationship to masculinity. Dance Stance", which Rhodes produced, was released on Oddball Records, which Rhodes owned, and which was distributed by EMI. [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. [6] Saunders and Ward left the band, replaced by Andy Leek (keyboards) and Andy "Stoker" Growcott (drums). [7] Searching for the Young Soul Rebels and first band split [ edit ] Following the announcement of their highly-anticipated new album, ‘The Feminine Divine’ earlier this week, Dexys have announced a September 2023 UK and Ireland tour. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dexys went through numerous personnel changes over the course of three albums and 13 singles, with only singer/songwriter/co-founder Kevin Rowland remaining in the band through all of the transitions and only Rowland and "Big" Jim Paterson (trombone) appearing on all of the albums. By 1985, the band consisted only of Rowland and long-standing members Helen O'Hara (violin) and Billy Adams (guitar). The band broke up in 1987, with Rowland becoming a solo artist. After two failed restart attempts, Dexys was reformed by Rowland in 2003 with new members, as well as a few returning members from the band's original lineup (known as Dexys Mark I). Dexys released their fourth album in 2012 and a fifth followed in 2016. The band performed two new songs, "Manhood" and "If I Ever", on the UK Channel 4 TV show Saturday Zoo

The Celtic Soul Brothers is about Kevin and Jim’s friendship, though Jim smiles: “Kevin never told me that until a few years ago.” 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. 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.

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. 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.

Retrieved 9 November 2015. I can safely say that a good night was had by all. Kevin Rowland has lost none of his unique soulful vocal power and the band were top notch tonight. Dexys show no signs of slowing down though, as they play the London Palladium on Wednesday followed by a European tour, plus their first U.S tour in 40 years! Long may the Young Soul Rebels continue…. Dexys at Brighton Dome 19.9.23 (pic Sara-Louise Bowrey) With Paterson and Billingham's departures, the core of Dexys became Rowland, Adams, and O'Hara. In September, touring behind the hit album, Dexys embarked on The Bridge tour. [7] On 10 October 1982, the Dexys performance at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London was recorded by Steve Barron and then released on videodisk and videocassette (and later DVD) as an edited 9-song set also entitled The Bridge.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.” I totally respect Kevin for doing that,” says Helen. “He hadn’t heard me play in decades, and I’d have done the same.” O’Hara hadn’t played violin in 23 years. Jim went 16 years with no trombone before Dexys’ call. Kevin reveals the summer shows will be a festival set format, an edited version of the “One Day I’m Going To Soar” album set and a few Dexy’s favourites, some of which will be newer arrangements. Rowland at first refused to issue any singles from the album, comparing Dexys to bands like Led Zeppelin that never released singles. [8] By the time a 3-minute edit of the 12-minute " This Is What She's Like" was released, it was too late to save the album from commercial failure, and the "Coming to Town" tour that followed the album was played before "half-empty theaters". [8] Rowland said, "I felt that we couldn't do anything better than [ Don't Stand Me Down]. It took so much out of me, but the record company threw the towel in. I think they wanted to teach me a lesson." [6] In the aftermath, Rowland started to have issues with drug abuse. [8] However, Dexys returned to the U.K. charts in late 1986 with the single "Because Of You", again written by and featuring the nucleus of Rowland, O'Hara and Adams (and which was used as the theme tune to a British sitcom, Brush Strokes). [7] Dexys disbanded in early 1987. [7] Rowland solo and failed Dexys reunions: 1987–2002 [ edit ] gave me confidence when I was going into the studio, because I was nervous, I hadn’t recorded for however many years. 26 years between albums.” Kevin seems to be a fairly complex guy. One minute uber defensive and ready to verbally slap you down, and the next ultra revealing, brutally honest, baring his soul and pretty vulnerable. I think maybe he is much misunderstood and just wants to make good music, have the support to do it his way, and above all else; to be taken seriously and focus on today and not be thought of yesterday’s man. He is not that at all. I doubt his brain ever switches off and that maybe contributes to him being frustrated at not being able to do every thing he wants to do, and EXACTLY the way he hears this glorious music in his head.

In an interview with HitQuarters Gatfield later described the recording process as "very long and painful", [22] and he left the group after a short tour of France and the UK. The album's most controversial feature was its use of conversational dialogue in the songs; [23] Rowland said, "The idea of a conversation in a song is interesting to me." [24] Commenting on this, O'Hara said that "we had to keep going ahead with what we believed" despite the length of time that the production took. [25] Most contemporaneous reviewers strongly disliked this latest incarnation of Dexys, comparing the new look to "double glazing salesmen" and condemning the album as "a mess" and "truly awful". [21] [26] [27] Only a few reviewers were supportive; for example, writing in the Melody Maker, Colin Irwin described it as "quite the most challenging, absorbing, moving, uplifting and ultimately triumphant album of the year". [28]Helen and Steve immediately became besotted by their new band. “Their dedication and commitment in how they rehearsed was the pop equivalent of classical,” Helen believes. “This extraordinary genius was at the top of it all. But the band were on the verge of breaking up when I joined. They hadn’t had any hits recently, they were totally broke, it wasn’t great at the record company and I later learned the manager had given up on them.” After co-writing the elegant I Couldn’t Help It If I Tried on Dexys’ debut, trombonist Big Jim Paterson became Kevin’s trusted right-hand man, penning all of the original material on Too-Rye-Ay with the frontman.

Despite his reservations over the album, Kevin also relished being a pop star. “I enjoyed success for what it was,” he considers. “You get carried along with the euphoria of having hits. There were moments of doubt, doing interviews in America and thinking, ‘No, this should have been better.’ But the pop thing was fun.
