Frightened Rabbit announce tour and live album
- Artists:
- Frightened Rabbit »
Epic, endearing and Scottish: Frightened Rabbit return to the road in March (DiS has special pre-order for their Scala show) and they have a live album coming out too.
Firstly the live album Quietly Now! - Midnight Organ Fight Live and Acoustic at the Captain’s Rest is due on the 30th of March 2009. The album apparently features every equipment creak from a Glasgow live set they recorded back in July 2008. During the set they performed, from start to finish, a deliberately-restrained, largely acoustic rendition their stunning second album Midnight Organ Fight. Alsorts of guest musicians joined them for the recording too, including The Twilight Sad’s James Graham, Glasgow’s scene hero Ross Clark and Adam Pierce of Mice Parade was on the mixing desk.
It's been one hell of year for the Scottish lads, which ends this week with the release of their Christmas Single ('It's Christmas So We'll Stop') and dates with Biffy Clyro, not to mention The Midnight Organ being named number two in DiS' 50 albums of 2008.
Catch them on the road in March 2009 at the following run of shows
27th - The Castle Keep, Newcastle
28th - The Canteen, Barrow
29th - The Musician, Leicester
30th - Glee Club, Birmingham
31st - The Captain’s Rest, Glasgow
And then a short break before they headline, with a full electric show, at The Scala in London on April 15th - click here to buy tickets.

AWESOME! wow, I love you. I didn't go the extra mile to search for that. I just automatically assumed they would have written something like. "US tour will follow in Jan and then album comes out in March"
AWESOME Johnny Brenda's here I come
oops
oh i just realized US gets them first in jan so my above logic was dumb. doesn't really matter. frightened rabbit at johnny brenda's should be so slammin' what a great venue.
*he is playing the musician, dan
at least thats the impression i get
Adam Pierce on technical duties?
OH. MY. GODS! Cannot wait for this!
Fan fact: Adam Pierce is an anagram of Mice Parade.
its a briliant album....
