White Rabbits come to New York via the arid plains of the Mid West. For their first record, they managed to catch the attention of Say Hey Records and producer Chris Zane (Shy Child, Asobi Seksu, Les Savy Fav). Their second album, “It’s Frightening,” was produced by Brit Daniel (Spoon).
Lead by dual vocalists, Greg Roberts (Guitar / Vox) and Steve Patterson (Piano / Vox), the 6 piece is rounded out by Alex Even (Guitar / Vox), Brian Betancourt (Bass), Matt “The Duck” Clark (Drums) and Jamie Levinson (Drums). With a certain joie de vive, playfulness and charm White Rabbits thematically evoke the more decadent and bygone era of days spent on the green, old cinemas “Tourist Trap”, tragic mothers “Navy Wives”, and restrained, but no less awkward domestic disputes, with the first single, “The Plot.”
Added to their arsenal are 3 part vocal harmonies that texture the album throughout. White Rabbits even showcase the occasional group chant, best exampled on Fort Nightly’s opening track “Kid On My Shoulders”. White Rabbits’ penchant for more tropical excursions such as on “I Used To Complain Now I Don’t”, featuring the horns of Beirut’s (Jon Natchez), are, at times, reminiscent of The Specials or Madness.
Their sets have gained the band a large and growing audience and led them to share bills with Peter Bjorn & John, The Fiery Furnaces, The Walkmen, Richard Swift and others.

I agree with Premiumsqueeze for the most part...but I perfer Steve's voice. An album of just Greg would be boring, I think. But I absolutly love Fort Nightly, the two together are a perfect blend. It's frightening has it's moments...but over all...not the best.

I think they took the Britt Daniel influence a bit too far with It's Frightening. Greg should definitely take over on vocals for subsequent albums. Steve has raw energy, but with him fronting, the band seemed to show more of its immaturity, with them searching for a sound. There was a collected nature that shone through in Fort Nightly that wasn't there for It's Frightening. And I think that plays much more into their element. Percussion Gun is gloriously done though.
