Dodgy formed in Hounslow in 1990 and rode the Britpop wave with more sunshine than swagger. Where some of their peers went for the sneer, Dodgy went for the harmonies: jangling guitars, big singalong choruses and a warm, woozy vintage whiff that made them sound like the best summer you ever had.
Signed to A&M, they strung together a run of hits in the mid-'90s: "Staying Out for the Summer", "If You're Thinking of Me" and, biggest of all, "Good Enough", which climbed to number four in the UK. It's a bouncy, glowing pop song, as uncynical as the decade got, and it's the one rock radio held on to.
Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller are among the names that have passed through the band. The original lineup got back together in 2007 and has kept on touring and making albums since.
