Dexys

Overview

They named their band after a recreational drug, they had a hit (or two) and suffered a pretty long comedown. But the perpetually relevant Dexys are back with a new album, more of the soul-tinged pop tracks that propelled them to fame three decades ago and dapper new threads to wear while they play them.

With three of the original members and a compact new moniker Dexys are heading to Harvest in November to put on one of their infamous live shows, characterised by great outfits and a Dexedrine-like energy. They’ll put on one Sydney sideshow at the Enmore on the 15^th, playing old hits alongside new ones from their well-received 2012 album One Day I’m Going to Soar.

“We’ll wear great clothes and make soulful music”, was the promise frontman Kevin Rowland made to the original line-up when he formed the band back in 1978. They’re still doing both those things, and that’s well worth paying $68.70 to see IRL.
