I'm so whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o



A Beach party. That is what the White Rabbits sound like; a beach party. Rock infused with flamenco, salsa, reggae, ska, and pop--throw in a couple of cold brews, a hawaiian shirt or two, and ray bans, and we're set. Opening for Spoon the other night, this sextet originally from Missouri and now Brooklyn based, blew my music lovin' heart & mind.


Check it. Two guitarists/one vox, one bassist, one keyboardists/bongo man/vox, and two drummers. The drummers also play whatever other instruments are needed, tambourine, keyboard, maracas, etc.. It was a musical feast for both eyes and ears. The rhythms were rolling and made it impossible for you to just stand still. I absolutely loved them, and can not recommend a band more highly. Check out their debut album, Fort Nightly, you will not be disappointed. I haven't been able to get enough of them.
