The Freebutt (Brighton Centric)
Sorry, just whacking up some listings that you boarders might be interested in. I am justifying this to myself as I think it's a damn fine month for shows here and more people need to come here on a regular basis...
cheers!

Game Over Presents
FRIGHTENED RABBIT
We Were Promised Jetpacks, Aaron King
£7.00
Playing clever but purposefully naïve pop in the manner of The Vaselines, Twilight Sad and The Clean, Frightened Rabbit sound a good bit bolder than their moniker would suggest, though it suits their lively but nervous musical personality. Their new album ‘The Midnight Organ Fight’ was released on Brighton’s Fat Cat Records in April to critical acclaim.
