Frightened Rabbit & Airship @ Birmingham Academy 2, 12th March 2010

The fact that Frightened Rabbit are an indie band from Scotland instantly means they have a lot to live up to. The country that gave the world deep fried mars bars and bagpipes has made up for this tenfold by producing some of the most important indie bands of all time. From the 80’s to the present day through The Jesus & Mary Chain, Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub, Idlewild to name just a few, it’s a rich musical history that the five piece from Selkirk have to follow.

Frightened Rabbit + Ross Clark and The Scarfs Go Missing @ Birmingham Glee Club - 30th March 2009

Well, it's been a while since I've been to the Glee Club and whilst it feels a bit weird to be sitting down for a gig, it's quite nice that it's warm and comfortable and that I can actually see what's going on onstage (being somewhat stunted tends to have the odd drawback). Anyway it appears that tonight is going to be bloody marvellous, if support act Ross Clark and The Scarfs Go Missing are anything to go by.

Biffy Clyro + Frightened Rabbit + People In Planes @ Birmingham Academy - 18th December 2008

Tonight’s line-up could quite easily be renamed the “Scotsfest” tour, what with the headliners and both support acts coming from north of the border for a winter jaunt around the UK. 2008 has been quite a year for the headliners, partly because their most recent album – the excellent ‘Puzzle’ – has had time to properly sink in and make an impact, but also a lot of their success is down to their massive single “Mountains”. Anyway, the result is a sold-out Academy just before Christmas and what should be a great show...
