good stuff

nice

good show...

first off i must congratulate you guys on this thread, I've found some prettty good stuff here
as a fellow fanboy I reckon you guys might appreciate this session I posted on my blog
http://peenko.blogspot.com/2009/03/frighte...c-mainline.html
there's plenty of other FR stuff on there too that i don't think I've seen on here before

hey FR fans, remember We Were Promised Jetpacks? well, here is a new studio version of "ships with holes will sink" and it's damn good. can't waity to hear this record...

hey there is a lot of good Rabbitz stuff on your blog... nice work.

first post in this thread...

the only previous exposure i'd had to this band was jim + greg's playing a track from it on a buried treasures show back in the summer. i was underwhelmed. however, fast forward 7 months, and their take on "poke" alone from the recent SO was basically enough to convince me that these dudes have way more talent and merit than i previously gave them credit for. beautiful song and a devastating performance. wow.

cool

"Poke" is a low(er)point on Midnight Organ Fight for me

dunno, poke is worlds-destroyingly good. especially live. can't get that memory out of my head now.

Saw them on Friday night, really improved in the past six months.

anyone hear the callers on the back of the neko case so show?

'dashboard confessional with scottish accents' indeed!

yeah, i heard that shit... guy was an idiot.

ha. kind of in the same boat. had this forever ago, listened, got all montana and felt like every song on this album was an introduction to the real songs that were gonna be released at a later date apparently.
went back and now i can't put it away.

More than made up for by the young girl's who dreamily spoke of greeting the day with the record.

i still haven't heard the album, but i will one day. that SO take on poke is enough to keep me satisfied for now.

Die thread, die.

oh Monty, have you even hear the damn thing?

i'm not gonna lie about my fr love. i wish i was here for the first few pages of this thread when all you dudes were sitting at your comps yelling out lyrics from this album. i bet you were so fucking happy that day.

i hope he doesnt cause then hed probably like it which means id instantly have to hate it

this thing is still goin?
good goin somb!

I seem to have a lot of power over you.

no you seem to be a dick which means there are lots of things wed be opposites on

Great to see the FR has such amazing support.
I saw them open for The Twilight Sad in a basement club in Edinburgh in the summer of 07 - so echo-y loud the only lyric I can remember making out was "you're the shit and I'm knee deep in it" - honestly we kind of made fun of them for awhile before hearing MOF and having our giggles of derision smacked into smiles of joyful appreciation.

MOF is definitely top ten of 08 for me. Not a poor song on there. And really the only non-hip-hop album of the last few years that can claim half its charm from its lyrics. Kind of reminded me of the charming wordplay of an older Scottish band - the Trashcan Sinatras. Anyone remember them?

Sure do - "With her hair a shining shade of bus conductress bloo-oo-ooonde" Always had a soft spot for the Cake record...just dialed it up on the iPod because of your post, in fact.

I went off them when they bought Man City.

huh?

I'm still trying to figure out what this has to do with Frightened Rabbit

EDIT: nm, you meant Trash Can sinatras. good pun.

FR on World Cafe:

my girlfriend told me about this (though she did call them 'flying rabbit')
listening to it now.
sounds amazing

i've ripped the songs into MP3's and stuck them here, if you want to keep them
http://peenko.blogspot.com/2009/03/frighte...ion-050309.html

Heard "Good Arms vs. Bad Arms" on XMU this morning. It was the first time I had heard them anywhere on XM. It's about time!

thought this might interest some of you
http://peenko.blogspot.com/2009/03/frighte...-m-session.html

I am determined to keep this thread alive, will be posting a couple more sessions later in the week

any way of getting copies of this video for download?

sorry mate, I've got no idea
I'll ask about though

THANKS..really dug the performance.

one of my friends very kindly downloaded it for me
I've uploaded it here, it might take a while to download, so you have been warned

going to post another session up later
whil I am on here i don't suppose anyone has either of the following:-
the firetrap session
or the summer sundae session
I can't find them anywhere

if you like your rabbit you'll probably appreciate this

We Were Promised Jetpacks - These Four Walls
http://www.mediafire.com/?vimzjznfwln

was not sold from the one live cut i heard of the Jetpacks, but i'm definitely intrigued and will be giving this a shot. i promise.

I think they work a lot better live than they do on CD, looking forward to listening to this when I get in from work

Good live band, solid in fact.

finally!

um... the Jetpacks record is pretty damn good.

hopefully next fall we will finally get the long promised Frightened Rabbit/Twilight Sad/We Were Promised Jetpacks tour.

Wow, the release date on that is June 23.. wasn't expecting it so early, but then I guess fatcat artists do usually tend to leak early... so glad I clicked on this thread randomly even though I'm not really at all interested in Frightened Rabbits.. thanks!

We Were Promised a Frightened Rabbit/Twilight Sad/We Were Promised Jetpacks tour.

I first heard of WWJP via a great Mitchell thread a while ago and the one song he linked to was okay, but nothing that made me think "I have to hear more of these guys", but I'll give the album a shot.

you're gonna dig it

so these guys are kind of a cross between the Smiths and the Dave Matthews Band, right? not bad, they could use a better singer though.
