Australian indie rockers Dappled Cities are celebrating this week's US release of their latest effort, the orchestral 'Zounds.' But despite their delight over their third studio effort hitting shelves, they're part of the millions saddened by the death of Patrick Swayze. "I was totally bummed," singer Dave Rennick tells Spinner. "Someone was laughing at me for being so bummed."

In fact, Sydney's Dappled Cities have long admired Swayze's work, going so far as to record their own version of the final scene of Swayze film classic, 'Point Break,' which a friend posted on the Internet. "I actually thought of that YouTube thing, and now we're going to look like a bunch of a--holes because I have actually played Patrick Swayze very unconvincingly," Rennick says, worried of potentially offending other Swayz-iacs, who might stumble across their video now.

The clip features Rennick donning Ray-Bans to play Swayze's character Bhodi and fellow Dappled singer Tim Derricourt stomping around as Keanu Reeves' Johnny Utah. It came about nearly four years ago when the band decided to stop on their 10-plus hour cross-Australia trek from Sydney to Victoria for the annual Falls Festival.

"That last scene of 'Point Break' is set at Bells Beach even though [it was] not actually shot there. So, when we were driving to the festival, we were like, 'Oh my god, we have to stop at Bells Beach and reenact the final scene in the proper location,'" he explains.

The group actually knew enough of the lines by heart from having watched the film so often as youths that they just scribbled a few reminders on paper in their tour van, with no help from a DVD copy or the Web. Derricourt, however, didn't bother with cue cards. "Tim's a bit of a thespian you see," Rennick says. "I'm a bit of a fraud."

But while the band's acting skills in the clip produced some less than Oscar-winning results, Rennick revealed they not only had a lot of "love for that movie," but for the man himself.

"He was just kind of an underdog as well," Rennick notes after Spinner recalls Swayze's ability to move between manly movies and chick flicks. "I was just looking at his filmography and he didn't do a whole pile of films like other A-listers, but he was just f---ing cool."
