Dappled Cities’ decampment to London has worked a treat, with news this morning that the band has taken out BBC Radio 2’s coveted “Record of the Week”.
Dappled's single ‘The Price’, which we described as their “play for the big game”, took out the listener-voted prize ahead of Gorillaz and Surfer Blood. The song was broadcast on the Radcliffe & Maconie show as part of a weekly competition to find listeners’ favourite new music. By taking out the honour Dappled Cities have been added to the playlist for BBC Radio 2, the most popular station in the UK.
Dappled Cities relocated to London in March and have since performed at The Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City festivals. They’re returning to Australia in August for a tour with The Midnight Juggernauts, where they intend to showcase an entire set of new material written for the follow-up to Zounds.

Oh how I wish this was Subaudible Hum. A crying shame I tells ya.
runs away
I haven't heard a single song by this band.
About 3 years ago I witnessed a dude try to pick up a chick at Pony with the line 'Im the bass player from Subaudible Hum''. Failed miserably.
fixed
Ha ha ha..... The bass player was never really a fixed member.... Maybe the dude was searching for a one-nighter.
