Description

Lost and Sound meets Kevin Rowland, singer, musician and the frontman of Dexys Midnight Runners, now shortened to simply Dexys.  A true pop maverick - from early 40 hour a week rehearsals and  a band name taken from the Northern Soul drug Dexadrine to those seismic 80s pop moments like Geno and Come On Eileen and the stone cold classic Searching For The Young Soul Rebels album, Kevin has flown in and out of favour, regenerating a bit like a post punk soul tinged Doctor Who. On the eve of the release of the 6th Dexys album, The Feminine Divine, Kevin talks to Paul about creativity, life, Roxy Music and the feminine awakening at the heart of the new music. Lost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-TechnicaThe new Dexys album The Feminine Divine is available  from 28th July 2023Paul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
