Dodgy are a
British band, formed in
1991. They made their debut at the The Dodgy Club in London, which was their own club. Dodgy were signed under their own label
Bostin by A&M Records. Two
music publishers wanted to give Dodgy money to record, so Dodgy got them to play a
Video Football Game to see who they chose. In the end they chose the losers. They recorded three singles before bringing out
The Dodgy Album in
May 1993.
Homegrown, their second album was released in
October 1994.
Free Peace Sweet was released in
March 1996. In
1997 Nigel Clarke, one of the 3 founder members of dodgy left to persue solo projects. This departure was marked with the release of an album of their best A- and B-sides to date,
Ace A's and Killer B's. Dodgy recruited three extra band members; Nick Abnett, David Bassey and Chris Hallam. Dodgy are working on their fourth album
Real Estate at the moment. Rather than signing to a record company, they have decided to let fans on their website (www.dodgy.co.uk) invest in the new album.
