Sorry, advance tickets to the late show are no longer available through Ticketweb, they *might* be available at the door. If you did not purchase a ticket, please update your RSVP accordingly. An early (7pm) show has been added and tickets are still available.

Who: Frightened Rabbit
When: Meetup 9:00 @ Blind Robin http://theblindrobin....
Where: Empty Bottle 1035 N. Western Avenue
Cost: $10 at the door if you're lucky

Comprised of brothers Grant and Scott Hutchinson, Billy Kennedy and Andy Monaghan, this Selkirk Scotland-based band jumped into the indie scene in 2006. They have two albums (Sing the Greys and Midnight Organ Fight) and an EP of live music (Liver Lung Fr!) which are available on iTunes and eMusic. I find their lyrics simple yet quirky and sometimes oh so true... Come check them out!

Pitchfork gave their most recent record, Midnight Organ Fight, an 8.1. Read the review.
The Independent gave them a stellar 4/5 star live review as well, saying "If you’re a fan of Scottish indie rock, this could well be your new favourite band."

Here are some videos:
From Midnight Organ Fight: Head Rolls Off and The Modern Leper (which is not the best live version, but you get the idea).
From Sing the Greys: The Greys
