Dodo Gad: Vocals, backgroundvocals.
Jens Rud: Vocals, backgroundvocals, guitar.
Steen Christiansen: Guitar, backgroundvocals.

Especially in the 1980's Dodo and the Dodos got a lot of airtime on the radio with songs such as "Vågner i natten", "Sømand af verden", "Vi gør det vi ka' li'", "Lev livet nu" and "Pigen med det røde hår". The song "Lev livet nu" was used by danish television station TV-2 during the covering of the summer olympics in 1992.

The leadsinger Dodo Gad also recorded a now legendary football song "Re-Sepp-Ten" for the World Cup in 1986 together with the danish national footballteam. About ten years later Dodo Gad recorded another footballsong for a football championship. The song, which was called "Vi vil ha' sejren i land", was not as succesful but has become a classic among danish national footballsongs.

Dodo and the Dodos have released 5 danish studioalbums and a single album in english, the latest released in 1998. In 2008 the band returned with their newest album, their first in 10 years.
