Dappled Cities is a man down after their drummer, Hugh Boyce, quit the group.

Boyce left the Sydney band late last month.

“Hugh Boyce has left Dappled cities. Our show in Adelaide was our last together…,” the band said in a statement.

“Hugh has gone off to pursue a career in bio-mechanical engineering and we wish him all the best. He will be sadly missed…..”

Boyce was a founding member of the group, and played on both the band’s studio albums, Smile and Granddance.
