year of the rabbit
Posted by Patrick on Monday, September 29, 2003Friday night brought a Mailman to Rhode Island. We went to Lupos to see a band called Year of the Rabbit. Some quality tunes, and by far the coolest band name since Pawn. Not anything I'd heard before. An amazing light show too... tons of fog, and then super bright lights right behind the band that strobed sometimes, so you never really saw their faces.
The music sounded kind of like a mix between Spacehog and Radiohead, but with 90% more guitar than Radiohead. Quality stuff! Nice to hear something a little different.
The opening band was Death by Stereo, and while they were very enthusiasic about their anger, it seemed a little fake. I dunno, I'm never all that angry, so maybe I don't recognize it when I see it. The guitarist looks like the Lex Luthor character from Smallville, but he played like Eddie Van Halen.
