BRITPOP trio from the 90s, Dodgy, will be returning to Frome with a gig at the Cheese and Grain this month.
Dodgy will be touring with their newest album ‘What Are We Fighting For’ when they play in Frome on Friday 25th November.
‘What Are We Fighting For’ is the fifth album from the original Dodgy line-up – Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller – and the first of new material since their widely-lauded comeback reunion album, ‘Stand Upright In A Cool Place’.
It is also the first album to feature relatively new member Stu Thoy on bass and vibes, who joined the band to help them tour the last album and has managed to hang on in there ever since, and their first for new label Cherry Red Records.
Influenced by July, Harmonium and Can and Nigel’s new found love of bands like Atlas Sound and White Fence, Dodgy believe ‘What Are We Fighting For’ is their best ever record, but they’re not the only ones. Cenzo Townshend (Florence, U2, Primal Scream etc) who worked with Dodgy on their first record, heard the demos and demanded to mix some tracks. Similarly, Rob Da Bank heard two tracks and offered Dodgy a slot on the main stage at Bestival in September 2015.
Tickets for the Cheese and Grain show cost £15 and are available from www.cheeseandgrain.com or 01373 455420. Doors open at 8pm.
