Nineties indie band unrecognisable 26 years after smash hit song and bitter band break up

NEARLY three decades after their smash hit song and acrimonious band breakup, the ’90s indie group has undergone a remarkable transformation, making them almost unrecognisable today.

The band has reunited with a changed appearance compared to our memories, maintaining their signature pop-rock grunge style but appearing a bit more mature and reconnected.

Dodgy will be coming together for The Brit Fest, a festival dedicated to showcasing the best that’s come out of Britain.

The band took to Instagram to announce their reunion captioning their recent photo: “This one ain’t till July NEXT year 2024, folks but it promises to be a belter”.

One fan commented: “Go see em boys and girls. They are as good if not better then they ever were live. Saw them in Kentish Town recently. loved the gig.”

Another fan commented: “We’ll be there!”

Unrecognisable nineties stars

The rock band formed in 1990 in West London.

Their notable chart-toppers include Staying Out for the Summer, If You’re Thinking of Me, and Good Enough, with the latter peaking at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, marking their most significant success.

The original band members included Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest, Andy Miller and Stuart Thoy.

The band broke up in 1998 after Clark resigned to pursue solo projects.

Mathew and Andy proceeded to expand the band into a five-piece ensemble, welcoming vocalist David Bassey, keyboardist Chris Hallam, and bassist Nick Abnett to join their ranks.

Stuart rejoined the band to record their fifth album, What Are We Fighting For back in 2016.
