Sorry, we forgot to tell you about who won the SMAC Awards and the J Award

About a week late, seventeen bucks short and smelling like beer (mixed with failure) here is some 'award news' that we forget to publish last week.

That brings the total of local artists attending next year's festival to 58, which is the most ever to be accepted. #

Dappled Cities Fly (no we are NOT dropping the 'fly') are now making children's music. The Sydney group will play the music of Australian composer Kyls Burtland on a new Playhouse Disney series called "Alphabreaks" which introduces preschoolers to the letters of the alphabet with the help of musical instruments and original music. The 26-part series, to be televised in Australia and New Zealand, will be directed by Tom Spark who has previously created music videos for the likes of The Cat Empire, Thirsty Merc, The Vines, Vanessa Amorosi and Gyroscope. #

Dappled Cities Fly
Granddance

For a while now, Dappled Cities Fly have been consistently in the upper echelon of Australian underground bands, their signature sound and off kilter approach to song writing has made them stand out in a crowded scene. Granddance sees the band experimenting with new and different instruments and styles, while the trademark soaring falsettos contrasted with deeper mumblings still find their way into numerous tracks.
