Great news. I'm looking forward to hearing this.

I've often vented about how irritating it is that so many great bands from the '80s are dismissed by most Americans as one hit wonder jokes, and Dexy's is right up there with Thomas Dolby at the top of the list. (Though arguably Dolby and Kevin Rowland both played right into that perception, Dolby by learning the wrong lessons from "She Blinded Me with Science" and farting "Hyperactive" and Aliens Ate My Buick into existence, and Rowland by believing he made a very pretty girl.)

Anyhow, this is a welcome development.
