Get To Know In 7: Frightened Rabbit
Scott Hutchison
This is a new little experiment in trying to be a bit more creative with the site, so please be patient with me as I fine tune this idea, hopefully with some help from you.
We all love reading interviews with our favorite bands, and the interviews usually cover a lot of the same stuff, how the band got started, new album details, etc., etc., etc. Coming into contact with quite a few artists on a regular basis, I figured I could prepare a short set of short answer questions that I could deliver without having to go into a lengthy sit session of talking and editing. This is my first attempt, and I realize it needs some serious tweaking, but you got start somewhere, right?
First off, thanks to Scott Hutchison for being my guinea pig in this little experiment. He was very cooperative and gracious. Frightened Rabbit played their second show in Austin, @ the Mohawk to be exact, within two weeks, and judging by the size of the crowd last night and the reaction, seem to be on the right track and generating quite the buzz along the way.

- What’s your favorite color? “Dusky sky blue”
- Last album or record you chose to listen to or selected? “Cease to Begin, Band of Horses”
- Favorite piece of clothing? “Until recently it was a pair of shoes that I’ve had to replace because they smelled so bad”
- Deceased artist or person that you wish you could meet? “Ummm, I would love to meet John Candy. Yeah, why not?”

- Vinyl, CD, or MP3? “All of the above, I have no actually format to play any of those things at this point in time, so yeah, all. Maybe supermarket stereo would be the place I hear most music.”
Frightened Rabbit’s folk infused style of indie-rock has my attention, and their most recent release The Midnight Organ Fight is definitely one of my favorite releases of 2008. The musicianship is great and the lyrics are raw, real, and humorous at the same time. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch this band on the road this time around.
