Frightened Rabbit

Oh god yes. I can only listen to this one in short bursts, because it's so real and so raw, and I hear so much of myself in every aching painful phrase that it's just too costly to listen to very often. I love it though. To bits.

Marcy, if there's still tickets available, I really urge you to reconsider.

I've been lucky enough to catch the band live quite a few times this year - some gigs have been better than others I'm willing to admit that. But when they are on form, as they were just a couple of weeks back in Glasgow, then they are truly something special.

Yes, the lyrics will hit you right where it hurts - your throat will tighten and your eyes will go moist - but its the music that makes the energy of the live performances that are so memorable. Believe me.....you wont want to run away - you'll scream and holler for more.

" Fast Blood" grabbed me right away when I first heard it, and it has not let go.

agnes--extremely well put!! raw and real and aching. amen.

jc--if i could be at that gig, i would be there four hours early! but it's my youngest's birthday party/sleepover that night and i just can't go. well, i guess i could but my family would never forgive me! ;-) next time, sigh, next time.

nat--the lyrics throughout the record are wonderful. i think you'd like the whole thing.

Love these guys. I know what you mean about their lyrics, though. Evocative.

I did an interview with them a while back in which I pissed them off: http://www.afreeman.org/2008/04/11/a-free-man-offends-frightened-rabbit/

ooh, i will have to give that a read! i really am bummed that i can't see them but what can you do? kids come first sometimes. ;-)
