Frightened Rabbit Announce New Album, Tour Dates


Our favorite Scottish import, Frightened Rabbit have announced a March 9th release date for their third LP, The Winter Of Mixed Drinks. Their sophomore effort, The Midnight Organ Fight, was an instant classic, full of songs of the 'holy f*cking wow' variety, and deserves your attention immediately; if it does not already reside in its proper place on your iPod. They thankfully also announced new tour dates in support of the new album. Last time we saw the band, we were completely blown away at Empty Bottle. Thanks to their explosive live show (we seriously think they might keep the drummer in a cage between shows), their fanbase has expanded to the point they need to play Metro this time. Catch them now, because something tells us they will be playing much larger venues as time goes on. You can get an earful of a couple of new tracks, "Nothing Like You" and "Learned Your Name", at the band's MySpace site.
