Dodgy will return with a long-awaited new album called Stand Upright In A Cool Place on 20 February 2012.
The band, who released a string of catchy chart-invading singles in the mid '90s, launched the album with a gig at This Feeling. Brit-pop heroes Dodgy played all the feel-good power-pop hits that saw the band rise to prominence in the 90s, including ‘In A Room’, ‘Staying Out For The Summer’ and ‘Good Enough’ – all the hits plus previewing songs from their new album "Stand Upright In A Cool Place".
Support come from swaggering indie-electro songsmiths, Bibelots, who mix sleazy, bluesy guitars with electronic pulses and grinding synths and have a knack for big, catchy, almost Kasabian-esque choruses and Sunday Times’ ‘One To Watch’ newcomer, Elsie, combining unique, throaty vocals with belting disco-rock beats, including a performance of her magnificent Bach-infused version of Stereophonics song, ‘Dakota’.
Plus DJ sets from This Feeling’s Resident DJs pumping out pulsating play lists of modern and vintage classics, unleashing anthem after anthem from the likes of Kasabian, Oasis, Miles Kane, Noel Gallagher, The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Chemical Brothers, The Who, Primal Scream, Beady Eye, Supergrass, Pulp, BRMC, Blur – all the best – as if their very existences depend upon it.
