Whelp, we did see Dappled Cities live again tonight, and they were fantastic.

So tight, and a great setlist of some old favourites and new songs that they really brought to life live. Also a lot of fun in a small venue, where we could chat to the band members afterwards.

This time it was with the offspring, who had three of their albums in the soundtrack to her teenage years. So good to see her enjoy it that much.

The SnowDroppers - Fucked Up Blues

"When people are screaming a song that you haven't written at you on stage, you have what we like to call the Fucked Up Blues"

https://youtu.be/lvQAUNLOrxY

🎶 You're miles from nowhere and you've got no place to go
Lie down on that gravel road and sing down straight to hell
There's a life leads from your guts
And the devil claws your face
You take a look at your miserable life and how you got to this fucked up place, yeah

Your wife she left you for another man
...

You're runnin' from the Lord, now you're a wanted man
That bitch could rot in hell, she's the best you ever had
Your house, your car, your job, she took all your cash
That's not the worst of it, now she took all your stash

And I said
You got them fucked up blues, oh yeah
Oh, yeah 🎶

Holly Throsby  - Making a Fire

https://youtu.be/c1lpsu-PRyA

🎶 It's cold out but I don't mind it
I'm making a fire
Out of what I might find here
The old and the dying
We don't want them coming in
No!
Their heavy machinery
Messing up our young thinking
All night long
Now I'm here
And you're here
We're here! We're here!
It's cold out
It's bitter winter
We're making a fire 🎶

Hunters & Collectors  - Everything's on Fire

🎶 If I don't come home before midnight
And I call out your name in the dark
You'll know that I've been tempted
And I'll know that I've got no heart

And I'll know I won't be expected
And you'll think we're drifting apart
And I might as well be blowing at the top of the world
When my fingers find your body in the dark

Everything's on fire 🎶
