Sidewalk Hustle

Brook­lyn based White Rab­bits have been around for a few years tour­ing with the likes of The Walk­men, Spoon, and Kaiser Chiefs.  It’s hard to break into the indie scene these days, but this sex­tet, orig­i­nally from Colum­bia, Mis­souri have just two albums and one EP under their belts and yet they have caught the atten­tion of Britt Daniel of Spoon. There first album Fort Nightly was a bit hit or miss in my opin­ion, although “Kid On My Shoul­ders” and “The Plot” are excel­lent tracks. Their newest album It’s Fright­en­ing blew Fort Nightly out of the water, which is no doubt due to Daniel’s par­tic­i­pa­tion as pro­ducer and as one of the key song­writ­ers. Maybe I’m just anx­ious for Spoon’s new album to drop, but it’s fright­en­ing how Daniel’s magic has rubbed off on White Rab­bits and as a result they’re really start­ing to grow on me, par­tic­u­larly “They Done Wrong / We Done Wrong” and “Leave It At The Door”.

They’ll be play­ing in Toronto at Horse­shoe Tav­ern this Sat­ur­day Octo­ber 24th! For your chance to win a free pair of tick­ets to the show click Here and sim­ply answer the skill-testing ques­tion to be entered. If you’ve read this far, you’ve already got the cor­rect answer!
