Dappled Cities

If you haven't gotten the point yet, I love the new wave of music coming from the British isles. Practically every week, I discover new music from previously unknown bands (The Enemy, The Pigeon Detectives, The Maccabees being among the latest) that I think is wonderful. And even driving up to Milwaukee on a work night, and barely staying awake on the drive home, was completely worth it. Not only for the amazing Fratellis, who despite not being great showmen and not quite replicating the great sound & vocals of their debut album (Costello Music) live, have enough great songs from just one album that they were phenomenal anyway. But I got there, starving, and finding no food at the venue, just in time to hear the opening band, who I thought were the Switches. I thought they were really good, and it turns out the first band was a pre-opening act, an oddly named band called Dappled Cities. Next up were Switches, who were wonderful (I'd never heard any music from either of these acts previously, and it was instantly accessible). Both were from England. And then the Fratellis. So 3 hours of great music for just $10.
