Frightened Rabbit Announce New LP, Tour

13th February 2008 | by Gavin Riley

Two of the best underground bands in Britain are surfacing to play a one-off show in London next month, before heading off on separate tours around the world.

Glasgow-based threesome Frightened Rabbit are teaming up with Leicester's Kyte to play the Macbeth venue in London on Sunday 2nd March. Frightened Rabbit will première new material from their forthcoming new LP - 'The Midnight Organ Fight', which is set for release in the U.K on April 14th.

The album was recorded over the space of just two weeks with the help of Peter Katis who has also worked with Mercury Rev, Interpol and The National.

Frightened Rabbit also have a one off support date with MGMT in Manchester before heading off for a few dates in Italy. Then they set off to Austin, where they hope to conquer South By Southwest.

Kyte, who release a self-titled mini-album next week, have a headline tour to worry about, before switching their attentions to supporting iLiKETRAiNS on their upcoming tour of the U.K.
