Dodgy

3788 fans

Formed in the West London suburb of Hounslow in 1990, Dodgy comprises Nigel Clark (vocals, bass), Andy Miller (guitar) and Matthew Priest (drums). Originally called Purple, the trio emerged in 1998, leaving their Worcestershire home to move closer to London and change their name to Dodgy. With its sunny melodies and vocal harmonies contrasting with the sharp rock of the grunge movement, the band foreshadowed the Britpop era, as evidenced by The Dodgy Album (1993), produced by Ian Broudie (The Lightning Seeds). The warm reception it received launched the band on the road to success with the following two albums Homegrown (1994), which reached No. 28 in the charts, and especially Free Peace Sweet (1996), which reached No. 7 and featured the hits "Staying Out for the Summer" (No. 19), "In a Room" (No. 12), "Good Enough " (No. 4) and "If You're Thinking of Me" (No. 11). Tensions within the band led to the departure of singer Nigel Clark in 1998 and the indifferent release of their fourth album, Real Estate (2001). 2007 saw a return to the festival circuit and frequent appearances over the following years, notably at Glastonbury in 2009, before the 2012 release of Stand Up in a Cool Place, followed by What Are We Fighting For (2016). No fewer than three live albums were released during this period of reformation. After his solo album Make Believe Love in 2020, Clark reunites with his bandmates for Hello Beautiful in 2025.
