Frightened Rabbit have exploded onto the indie scene pretty rapidly, and had come to the Scala to play a one off sold-out show. Meeting the singer afterwards, he was totally amazed and really pleased that the show had been such a success, way above anything they could have expected. Their infectious sing-along lyrics with the infamous Scottish accent is always a favorite, and hearing people try to put it on when singing along is always good to hear as well. Frightened Rabbit have only really come into the limelight after the release of their last album, The Midnight Organ Fight back in 2008. This album is a them at their best, and has been much more successful for them than their first album, released in 2006.

The crowd had now packed in, creating a solid mass of people in front of the stage. They seemed relatively quiet by gig standards, but it seemed to be one of those gigs that were more about the intimacy of the venue, where you can shout things at the singer and quite happily get a response. Scott, the lead singer and guitarist, had a great stage presence, knowing how to work the crowd and cracking jokes, often about Scotland. They played mostly songs from their newest album, which has some amazing tracks on it. Their quirky, quotable lyrics are great, throwing in the odd swear word every now and again when you least expect it. The lineup constantly changes around, with each member playing a different instrument at some point bar the drummer. One of the highlights was the encore, which began with Scott playing 'Poke' unplugged at the front of the stage. The audience were completely hushed, and even tried to join in with the chorus, to which he shook his head. The finished their set with 'Keep Yourself Warm', which had everyone singing and moving about.
