The Dodgems have been together for about a year. They all have demanding full-time jobs- Doug is a social worker, Gary a sculptor and Charlie a designer at Sussex University. They still manage to rehearse twice a week and are keen to broaden their horizons with some gigs out of town.

Drummer Charlie Zuber: "We have been called political and we do have strong opinions about things. But you have to keep the message fairly simple because the music’s so loud!"

Their best song is ‘Lord Lucan is Missing’. "That is about how irrelevant most of the news is to our lives- it really doesnt matter whether Lord Lucan is missing or not".

I wonder who looks after the site now???? Anyway, I have the offer of sending people dodgems CDs upon request. Now however, it is time to remove the offer. I just think it would be better to have the CD available through distributors not through my house in Australia. Postage, burning them etc. is too expensive for me to keep doing it for nothing, forever. So , sadly I need to ask you to remove my offer from the Dodgems web page. If you have any suggestions about how punters might be able to buy our stuff from a UK site I would be interested, not for the money, but just so as it doesn't keep costing me money. Cheers Drummer Dodgem Chas

I have just found Lord Lucan and I'm wondering what address or web site I should mail his persona to. He is now virtually dead but keeps trying to rise from the dead in the intertices of the web. I have consulted far and wide, and from the beach in Australia, where he remains in some sort of pixillated purgatory. I write in desperation in order to find the only one capable of putting the stake through his heart. Now, on behalf of all Dodgems and their loyal fans (all six of you), can someone tell us where Gary Turner is? Please tell him Lord Lucan needs to find his final resting place and it is him and only him that can do so. Last seen at Beaconsfield Villas in Brisbane.

Hi. After visiting your site yesterday I delved through my archive and come up with a few photos of Dick Damage in action at the Alhambra. I can email them if you give me an address. I also have photos of the Dodgems live at the Richmond and some photos recording the John Peel session we did.

I wrote/played/sung in the Dodgems during the great times with Piranhas/Nicky & Dots etc. Anyone interested in the Lost Dodgems Tapes, with Blockhead Charlie Charles on drums, recorded for Criminal Records, not issued as company went bust. Also check Black Box Recorder version of Lord Lucan on USA version of England Made Me CD.

I stumbled across this site and it brought back lots of interesting memories. I played keyboards with the Dodgems on two singles and the John Peel session we did. Good to here that Johnny Condoms still in town. My favorite artist of the time was Dick Damage. Has he still got that white coat?
