Fun x 3 Fest Pick: Frightened Rabbit
It’s getting to be about that time. Time for the 3rd, and highly anticipated, installment of Transmission Entertainment’s Fun Fun Fun Fest, based here in Austin. All this week, you can find out which bands we are excited about seeing this coming weekend, and why we think you might want to fit them into your festival plans.
The Scottish outfit, Frightened Rabbit, consisting of brothers Scott and Grant Hutchison, have churned out what is one of my favorite recordings of this year 2008. Midnight Organ Fight is slathered up and down with catchy Scottish folk inspired rock songs, while lyrically wearing it’s heart on it’s sleeve. It’s a drunken night of failed relationships, sexual promiscuity, broken hearts, and the never ending party with your best friends.
i’m working on erasing you
just don’t have the proper tools
i get hammered, forget that you exist
there’s no way i’m forgetting this
i’m working hard on walking out
shoes keep sticking to the ground
my clothes won’t let me close the door
these trousers seem to love your floor
The live performance seems almost effortless and brings a more upbeat mood than the lyrics would suggest. Get to know Frightened Rabbit @ this year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest.
Frightened Rabbit take Stage 1 @ 2:45 p.m. on Sunday.
