Sydney indie kings Dappled Cities have announced a return to the stage with a special one-off hometown show.

Since the release of 2012’s Lake Air, the five-piece have been hard at work creating their fifth studio album, which veers towards a more raw electronic jam that combines the glory of the ’70s with more modern influences.

Fans of Dappled Cities can expect to hear a taste of the new material along with favourites of albums past.

Dappled Citiesreturn to the stage at Newtown Social Club on Friday February 5.
