From the Midwest to the Big Apple, White Rabbits are anything but middle of the road musicians. An Indie Rock band from Missouri now entertains thousands of fans across the US and abroad. The popularity of their first studio release, Forty Night (2007), released under Say Hey Records, fueled the then emerging Indie Rock scene. Critics and fans alike praised the release, leading to the second studio album, It's Frightening (2009), released with TBD Records in the US and Mute Records overseas.
The continued popularity of White Rabbits stems from their poignant and energy filled stage presence as they have performed at numerous music festival, opened for major headliners, and made an appearance on The Letterman Show. Not a bad day's work to paid for what you love. These six guys rock any venue they play and Louisville will be no different. Frequently, the members switch instruments and tag vocals to keep the show flowing and appealing. Popular tracks include "They Done Me Wrong/We Done Wrong" with strong percussion and "The Plot", featuring smooth chord transitions by the guys. The sounds from White Rabbits are unique, yet familiar when listening; comforting, yet uplifting to the listener.
Front men Greg Roberts (vocals/guitar) and Stephen Patterson (vocals/guitars) met in 2004 while at college in Missouri and conceived this concept of White Rabbits. Alex Evan (guitar/vocal) formerly played with Roberts in another band and came on board with White Rabbits straight away. Jamie Levinson (drums) linked up with Roberts and Patterson in Brooklyn when the two relocated in 2005. Since the formation of the original lineup, Matthew Clark (drums/additional percussion) and Brian Betancourt (bass) joined forces to make a six man band with more energy than - well, rabbits.
