So glad you enjoyed it. O’m particularly pleased to learn that the band are proving to be popular in places other than Scotland.

And I do recommend that you go see ‘Jetpacks’ and ‘The Sad’ when they hit your neck of the woods later on in the year….bith bands are tremendous on record and on stage.

haha yeah, i noticed it as well. we just messed around for a while until we were satisfied

re: siren, there were several hundred people, probably in the thousands, though in all honesty i don’t know for sure – i couldn’t see very far behind me during their set.

Thank YOU Lee for your kind words, and your great post I write a fan blog, what can I say? I hope people don’t come here expecting professional reviews, aaack! hahaha… but yeah, the show at the Bottom Lounge later that night was far superior, acoustically. Though I have to say, it was so thrilling to see them along with literally thousands of fans. How many were at Siren? (oh, and geek/tech note, it’s interesting to see what you’ve done with our shared blog theme, hehehe. Nice work!) xoxo

Yeah.. I was bummed when I saw that tour list, bah. But the Twilight Sad and Jetpacks along with brakes brakes brakes are coming in October, so I’m somewhat comforted Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

Aww, thanks Marcy… yeah, no let downs at all, not one. They sure are keeping this new album’s songs close to their chest aren’t they?

Tart,

thanks for referring me here! Our posts are sooo similar its eerie. Wonderful recap – you really demonstrated your emotions and wore them right on your sleeve – hard to pull off in a review. It’s too bad sound problems plagued them a bit at both festivals :/

Great review. The Rabbit will be back in America in September with two other Scottish bands but doesn’t look like they will be in Chicago.

fantastic review, tart, about everything: the songs, the energy, the guys being so accessible and yet how intense they are onstage. i met them all after their show in philly last winter and they were so friendly–even signed the setlist for me!

and i know just what you mean about having such high expectations and being so afraid they’ll let you down when you finally hear them–but they didn’t, of course, because they’re just that fantastic.

i can’t wait for the new album.

oh yeah, the drums on the greys were some of the most furious, on fire drumming i’d ever seen in my life!

Agnes I’m not even sure they did it at the later show!! I’m inclined to say they didn’t. And if I could have spoken at all when I met them I’d have asked! Alas, I was a muttering fool haha xoxo
