Yay yay yay yay YAY!!!!
Um... yeah. In SUPER EXCITING CONCERT NEWS - I was recently checking out Exit/In's upcoming show calendar when I spotted one lonely booking in the month of June. French Kicks are coming back to Nashville, and they're bringing Frightened Rabbit with them!!
If you'll remember, Frightened Rabbit was one of the top 5 bands I wanted to see at SXSW last month. And I did. And they were great. I know I've said that SXSW has to be regret-free to be fully enjoyed, but I really really do wish I had caught a second performance by the Scottish band while they were in Austin. But no matter, because now they're coming here to Nashville!
The other reason this is spectacularly exciting is because Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight (due out next Tuesday) and French Kicks' Swimming (out now on iTunes, due on CD next month) are two of my favorite new albums at the moment. Which means you'll be hearing more about them right here very soon.
In the meantime, mark your calendars for June 10 and enjoy two older tunes:
Frightened Rabbit - "Go Go Girls"
French Kicks - "The Trial of the Century"
Oh, and check this out too - while Frightened Rabbit was at SXSW, the band did recorded a Lounge Act session with WOXY, which the station recently released as a mp3/podcast. You can download the whole thing by heading here, and you should because it's a nice taste of what's to come on the new album.
