Hailing from tropical Darwin, indie-groovepop band At The Dakota have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Northern Territory with their addictive pop sensibilities and hooky, quirky lyrics and melodies. A 5-piece comprising laidback lads from the Top End, At The Dakota’s sound is influenced by the classic "beers on the beach" attitude that epitomizes the Northern Territory lifestyle. Their songs are unapologetically groovy, they celebrate good times and their lyrics are refreshingly cryptic. At The Dakota have forged a solid (and in our opinion very attractive) fan base in the NT, winning the People’s Choice Award in the 2015 NT Song of the Year Awards and being voted by the public as the local act for the 2016 and 2018 BASSINTHEGRASS Festival. They’ve also supported touring acts such at The Rubens, British India, Ball Park Music, Saskwatch and The Bennies and have gone on several national tours.
