The band was nominated for three awards at the 2006 Hamilton Music Awards: "Record of the Year", "New Artist/Group of the Year", "Alternative Recording of the Year". Night Creatures was named by Exclaim! magazine as one of the Top 10 "Punk Albums of the Year" in Canada, December 2006, and it has received heavy rotation on CBC Radio 3.
Paper Bag Records signed Cities in Dust in April 2006, in part due to the onstage antics of Frank. They also appeared at the World Electronic Music Festival in 2006.
In 2007, Cities in Dust appeared on the soundtracks of three 2K Sports video games: College Hoops 2K7, Major League Baseball 2K7 and NHL 2K8. Additionally, their song "Chop Chop You're Dead" was included in the film Superbad.
