Dappled Cities Announce A Collection of Previously Un-Released Songs 'Many Roads'
Dappled Cities celebrate the culmination of their tenth year with the release of ‘Many Roads’ – a full-length collection of never-before-released rarities and outtakes.
Cherry-picked from hundreds of treasures and obscurities amassed by the band throughout their decade-long career, the compendium will be out Friday 17th January 2014 on HUB The Label. The band will be playing Falls Festival over New Years in Lorne.
Serving as both a “thankyou” to fans and the signal of a new era, ‘Many Roads’ is led by its just-unveiled eponymous video.
Watch:
Formed in 2003 as ‘Finding Nemo’ topped the Box Office, Outkast’s “Hey Ya” was burning up dancefloors and Iraq was getting invaded/liberated (depending on your point of view), Dappled Cities would evolve into one of Australia’s most popular art-rock bands.
Fresh out of high school, the then-named Dappled Cities Fly (who dropped the latter adjective on the encouragement of their U.S label, concerned American audiences ‘wouldn’t get the FLY’) earned a reputation as both artists and risk-takers. Through a brilliant ten-year career, they have been nominated for multiple ARIA awards, lived in New York and London, toured the world and toured with the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Modest Mouse, Death Cab For Cutie, Silverchair, and on and on.
Following 2012’s acclaimed album, ‘Lake Air’ – which earned an ARIA Nomination and spawned hits “Born At The Right Time” and “Run With The Wind” – Dappled Cities kicked off their 10th Anniversary year with Sydney Festival’s one-night only ‘The Future Is Baroque’performance: where the band re-imagining their vast catalogue in a Baroque style, with members of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra in Sydney’s Town Hall.
Their Falls Festival performances and the release of ‘Many Roads’ will bookend their incredible decade, as well as lead into an action-packed 2014, including new solo material from frontmen, Tim Derricourt and Dave Rennick.
Happy Birthday Dappled Cities.
Here’s to the next decade!
