Frightened Rabbit - Cambridge Junction 1 – Valentines Day 2013

Arrived at the venue just in time to hear the last 60 seconds of feedback ending the Washington Irving set but, that was enough to tempt me into buying the single. 

Great to see Wintersleep back in Cambridge, all the way from Canada. Still touring 2012’s ‘Hello Hum’ the band seemed pleased that there was a substantial audience there to watch their set and, why wouldn’t there be? They delivered an action packed 30 minutes of electric ‘Nova Scotian Americana’.

Frightened Rabbit are back on the scene with a great new album ‘Pedestrian Verse’ featuring some arena size anthems and last night they squeezed those songs into the tight confines of the Cambridge Junction.

At home straight away with the audience, good levels of banter after the Scottish translation fed it way back to the stage.

Surely this is a band on the rise. Great songs, and a great live set with a band full of passion for the job in hand whether, electric or acoustic. It was an appreciative crowd that waved the band goodbye after a set of nearly 20 songs.
