Dappled Cities Fly + theredsunband + Operator Please @ Gaelic Theatre - 25th November 2006

Dappled Cities Fly headlined a show at the Gaelic Club on Saturday night that also featured theredsunband and Operator Please as supports.

With all the hype and praise surrounding the recent release of their latest album Granddance, the boys took to the stage like they had something to prove.

What followed was a tight and polished set, with spatterings of older fan favourites mixed with plenty of new material from the new album.

The performance was tremendous, however apart from the select few down the front it seemed the crowd was more comfortable sitting back and taking it all in than joining in on the party, perhaps a little surprisingly considering the anticipation that has surrounded the Granddance release particularly in the Sydney scene.

While it was clear the older songs were what the crowd identified most, the newer songs showed plenty of promise which bodes well for future forays into the overseas market for the local lads.

theredsunband supported, however without much crowd support or interaction, their performance quickly slid into and uninspired going through of the motions. Dissapointing from a band that can and has delivered much more.

Up and coming Brisbane band Operator Please also supported and showed why many people are expecting big things from them in the future.
