Another Friday night and another show at The Standard. Tonight’s gig saw a meeting of different musical minds on a small stage leaving people to wonder, “If only these walls could talk!” In the few months this venue has been open for business, there has already been an excellent show or ten and tonight was no exception.

It has been some time since Dappled Cities convened for a series of Australian dates, and in order to satisfy both a curious public and road-test their forthcoming album, Dappled Cities have announced two very special headline shows in Melbourne, November 17th at PHOENIX PUBLIC HOUSE and Sydney, December 2nd at THE STANDARD.

With Raval gone and the Annandale under similar threat, Sydney is once again set to witness a facelift of its live scene. Hotel Hollywood, around the corner from the Macquarie Hotel, is looking to pick up from where Raval left off, while two new venues have popped up, looking to fill a gap in the live scene that goes all the way back to the Hopetoun closing in 2009.

Tell me about the FBi Social Event.

Well they’re launching a new venue and we launched a bunch of songs, so we thought we’d get together to make it a night of nights.

Do you think it’s important to the Sydney community?

Adding to Adelaide's steady stream of visits from quality touring bands, Midnight Juggernauts came to town on Thursday night.
