Glasgow, United Kingdom (2003 – present)
Frightened Rabbit are an indie rock band which formed in 2003 in Glasgow, Scotland. The band currently consists of Scott Hutchison (vocals, guitar), Billy Kennedy (guitar, keyboards), Grant Hutchison (drums, vocals), Andy Monaghan (guitar, keyboards) and Gordon Skene (guitar, keyboards). The band has released three albums: “Sing the Greys” (2006), “The Midnight Organ Fight” (2008) and “The Winter of Mixed Drinks” (2010).
Andy joined the band after the release of Midnight Organ Fight, allowing them to play many songs from the album they would previously have struggled to fill out instrumentally. Gordon joined the band in November 2009 and is a former member of Make Model.
The origins of the band are rooted in 2003, when Scott began playing solo shows under the name Frightened Rabbit, mostly in support of fellow art-schoolers Shitdisco. Recordings were made on a tascam 4-track recorder, with Scott playing all the instruments (some more proficiently than others). Though looser, sparser, and certainly more lo-fi in terms of production values, their early demos still attest to a burgeoning talent with a defined personality and a now familiar penchant for being able to create widely appreciated pop songs.
In 2004 Scott’s brother Grant moved to Glasgow, Scotland, contributing drums to certain recorded tracks, and playing live. Frightened Rabbit became louder and better.

Ever listen to an album that engulfs you so much that when you take off your headphones everything around you seems strangely quiet and distant? Listened to The Winter of Mixed Drinks for the first time just now. Stunning. [2] Couldn't have said it better myself. It's one of the best albums I've heard in a long, long time.

@rtom87: The Winter of Mixed Drinks simply didn't strike me as The Midnight Organ Fight did on the first listen. And for your interest, Fun Stuff was previously released as a free download under the name Last Tango in Brooklin. Check that one out: it's gazillions times better.
