Dexys CD ' The Projected Passion Revue' out on 29th January 2007!




The Projected Passion Revue captures virtually everything Dexys Midnight Runners recorded in 1981. Comprising of three single (A and B sides), a BBC Radio 1 Session and a BBC In Concert recording, The Projected Passion Revue finds the group at the peak of their game artistically. The line up Kevin Rowland built around him had to display 100% commitment; as he says in his introduction “Something happened and the sound of this group became spiritual, much more than the previous line-up.” To take this group to the people, Rowland devised a show which would only play in theatres, where Dexys would be supported by a dance troupe and comedians. The shows found the group transcending the boundaries of live performance and delivering memorably intense sets.

Aside from their three 45s, the group was never properly captured on vinyl. This CD, with its artwork based on the Projected Passion Revue programme is a fitting tribute to one of the most singular bands of all time. As Rowland adds, “what we were doing at this point was peculiar to us and nobody else and we meant every word.”

The Projected Passion Revue will be complemented by a 25 Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Too Rye Ay in July 2007. Kevin Rowland and Dexys Midnight Runners are currently working on their first record of new material since 1985.

Great version of Couldn't Help it if I tried.

Anyone else seen this on the Uncut magazine website -

UNCUT will be interviewing not-so-young soul rebel KEVIN ROWLAND for An Audience With... -- and we're after your questions!

Is there anything you've always wanted to ask the great man?

What was going on with those dungarees, and why did he wear drag on the sleeve of the My Beauty album?

The more leftfield and quirky, the better.

Send your questions to Michael_Bonner@ipcmedia.com by Tuesday, December 19.
