Dappled Cities on tour with The Seabellies and Sparkadia
By Adam Wilkinson on Jan 11, 2008 in Music, Bands, Band Introductions, Upcoming Shows, Shows
Dappled Cities return to Australia for their first string of headline dates since relocating to New York City in mid-2007. Joining Dappled Cities on this un-missable February run are Sparkadia and The Seabellies. It’s a trifecta of Australia’s most amazing music.
To limber-up, Dappled Cities will be touring with LCD Soundsystem and a couple of the Big Day Out festivals on the side. But to the main event…
Having toured the US relentlessly over the past year, the band are in tip-top shape and expect to premiere a truckload of brand new tracks that have been written for their forthcoming album. Influential US website Pitchfork described Dappled Cities music as ‘bordering on greatness’ while the LA Times reviewed a recent show at the famous Troubadour as ‘the biggest sound within 100 blocks’.
That’s all well and good, but Dappled Cities are most excited about showcasing their new material to Australian audiences, before they lock themselves away to work on album #3. The tour will include 2 consecutive nights in Sydney’s Oxford Arts centre – including a wonderful Valentines Day show.
Sparkadia will use this tour as a springboard to a period in the UK, and The Seabellies will introduce themselves to a national audience for the very first time. This is shaping up to be one heck of a party. We’ll see you there.
