Quite a popular Sydney group, Dappled Cities Fly have been laying low for a while now while they record their second album. It's coming soon, though, and in preparation they'll be playing some shows in throughout February.

They've been great at the occasional show they've played recently, with their new material sounding great and the band sounding tight and focused. They play some great indie-pop in the vein of The Flaming Lips and The Unicorns, and are definately worth a look - they're playing with some great bands and should be an enjoyable (and well-priced) night out. They'll be on their Crooked Tracks tour from Feb 10-17 before playing a *very* special gig at the Mandarin Club with a killer lineup on the 24th.

Tour dates are as follows:

FEBRUARY
Friday 10 Spectrum, Sydney (w/ The Devoted Few + Laura Imbruglia)
Saturday 11 Spectrum, Sydney (w/ The Devoted Few + Death Mattel)
Thursday 16 161, Prahan, Melbourne (w/ The Devoted Few)
Friday 17 Jive Bar, Adelaide (w/ The Devoted Few)
Friday 24 The Mandarin Club, Sydney (w/ Thunderbirds Are Now! (USA), Baseball, The Stabs)

Here's a song from their debut LP "A Smile", called "Peach".

Another touring artist to keep an eye out for is New York's Marissa Nadler.
I got into her recently and found out that she already has plans to tour Australia - venues and cities aren't confirmed but it will be the first week of June. She plays some lovely, ethereal folk that should appeal to fans of artists such as Espers (a member of which is co-producing her album) and perhaps Joanna Newsom. She will also have her first 2 releases distributed by Art School Dropout in the near future.

This track is the first song on her album "The Saga Of Mayflower May" and is called "Turquoise".
