Acoustic UK Tour & Headline London Show Announced
'Quietiy Now ! - Midnight Organ Fight Live and Acoustic at the Captain's Rest' Released 30th March 2009.
Going by live reputation alone, Glasgow’s Frightened Rabbit spent 2008 as one of the scene’s most sought-after bands. Their songcrafting – considered, rich and boldly straddling pure pop – coupled with a seemingly innate ability to deliver live performances with an unfailing, wide-eyed honesty and energy leaves live shows lingering in audiences’ memories, hearts and “must see again” lists.
‘Quietly Now!...’ captures every cracked vocal note, every impassioned stage thump and every equipment creak from a Glasgow live set in July 2008, during which they performed, from start to finish, a deliberately-restrained, largely acoustic rendition their stunning second album ‘Midnight Organ Fight’ .
The auxiliary cast of guest musicians (including The Twilight Sad’s James Graham, Glasgow’s scene hero Ross Clark and Adam Pierce of Mice Parade on the mixing board) offers some groundwork for musical similarities, but Frightened Rabbit’s sound, soar and scrape are quite distinctly all their own.
This live recording will be accompanied by a March 2009 tour - a series of dates aimed towards resemblance to the intimacy of ‘Quietly Now!...’.
In addition, Frightened Rabbit's Christmas Single, 'It's Christmas So We'll Stop' is out this week. They are performing tonight through the weekend with Biffy Clyro, before heading to America for a headline jaunt in January.
Tourdates:
March 27th - The Castle Keep, Newcastle
March 28th - The Canteen, Barrow
March 29th - The Musician, Leicester
March 30th - Glee Club, Birmingham
March 31st - The Captain’s Rest, Glasgow
April 15th - Scala, London (full electric show – headline)
