Frightened Rabbit’s coming your way and if you don’t go see them you’re an idiot

Nothing Like You (Flirt FM Session) mp3 (many thanks to Lloyd of the great blog Peenko for this track!)

I can’t put it to you any other way, my dears. It’s as simple as this: Frightened Rabbit are coming to the US again, they’re promoting their new album The Winter of Mixed Drinks (which some bloggers have already got advanced copies of, sniff sniff!) and if you don’t go see them, then you’re an idiot. They are a wonderful band, go search their name on my little search window on the left down there and you’ll see how often they’re mentioned on this here blog. The Tart loves Frabbit and you should too if you’re into indie rock chock-full of raw energy, testosterone-fueled rock n roll howl of the finest sort. Can you beat that recommendation? No, didn’t think so. Now listen and learn and go see when they hit your town.

Oh yeah, by the way, there’s a contest over here. They say they want you to “enter is post a video response or leave a comment in the Shout Box on the channel of you making your favourite cocktail, or a cocktail of your own making, and we’ll pick our favourite as our winner. The closing date is the 15th of February, so get creative and get filming! The winner will get two tickets to an upcoming gig in the UK or US and the opportunity to enjoy the winning drink with the band after the show.” Pretty cool, eh?

See them!
