Awww, Bunny!

You might be familiar with the term "White Rabbits," a superstition originating from England. It is when you speak the phrase on the first of every month for good luck. I know that my family, being from England, we try to remember to say it. Now, those words have another meaning. It's also a pretty cool and fairly new band.

I'm embarassed to admit that White Rabbits were actually playing with The Walkmen here in Pittsburgh just last night, and I missed it. What's worse, is that I hear they are killer live and put on an energizing show. I know it's pretty lame I missed out, but what can ya do? At least I can admit my wrong in the situation.

Their 11 track spirited debut album Fort Nightly was released through indie label Say Hey Records in May of 2007. It seems that their song "The Plot," is a more known track, especically since they performed it on The Late Show with David Letterman. Although, I'd have to say "Dinner Party" would be my favorite pick. Last year, they toured with Tokyo Police Club and The Pogues (awesome)! Oh, and how could I have forgotten Peter Bjorn & John, too! Also, this year so far, they've been hanging out with The Walkmen. The 6 member cleverly cool band uses multiple instruments throughout the album giving an inventive sound. Sometimes they even sing in multi-tonal unison which is most noticed in "Kids On My Shoulders." Singer and guitarist Greg Roberts credits The Everly Brothers for their inspiration concerning that particular sound.

You can buy the entire Fort Nightly album or single tracks from Amazon. Even more, get this...you can buy a vinyl edition here! They've got 3 different designs that you can get independently, or one package deal with all 3!

Maybe the new spin on the old superstition will be not only to say "white rabbits," but to listen to one of their songs on the first of every month, too!
