Frightened Rabbit Announce Tour, Contest, And More
Frightened Rabbit have announced a North American tour (which does include Canada), a contest to win tickets to not only see them live in either the U.K. or U.S. with an opportunity to meet them after the gig, but also a new video for “Nothing Like You” from their upcoming and highly anticipated 3rd album “The Winter Of Mixed Drinks”, due out on March 9th via FatCat.
Their tour dates have them starting off in Australia (last night), in the U.K. for the first two weeks of March (and curiously not even playing in Scotland), then over to the U.S. for SXSW and then back again for an entire month, starting at Coachella and finishing in San Diego, with shows in Canada in between.

Last but certainly not least, their new video for “Nothing Like You”, the second single from “The Winter Of Mixed Drinks”. I posted a video a few days back of singer Scott Hutchison playing “Swim Until You Can’t See Land” in a garden, giving a excellent acoustic rendition of the song. Check out “Nothing Like You” below.
