Phenomenal show and venue. Had seen them in New Haven in May and crowd was very low energy. This show band still was phenomenal and crowd had great energy. I was injured and couldn't stand for whole show. Venue staff took great care of me and got me a chair to sit right near stage. Best of four shows I've seen other than first where besides being first played Swim which is my favorite song!
Wow Frightened Rabbit rocked so hard! An amazing intense concert -- loved every song! Easily one of the best concerts I have ever been to.
You owe it to yourself to see Frightened Rabbit if they come to your neck of the woods. Gloomy, morose lyrics belie some of the best music you'll hear. Their music will get under your skin - truly infectious, in a good way. These Scots know how to rock!!!
First, I was likely not the typical attendee for the Frightened Rabbit show on May 6th at the Electric Factory. I am in my 50's, and was directed by my oldest son to review Frightened Rabbit about five years ago. When he was young, I influenced his musical tastes to some extent, and he has tried to pass along like a favor some of the artists that capture his interest and fancy. So, I have been a fan for about four years, but I haven't really been fully engaged until Pedestrian Verse. In simple terms, I loved that album, and that interest prompted me to back an familiarize myself with the earlier output. So, in short, I expected the show to be fantastic, and yet it exceeded expectations. The set choices were spot on perfect, with the exception that I would have loved to hear "Poke." Of course, I could name quite a few I would like to have heard, but that is true with all great shows. I think the compelling and most favorable dynamic was that they did not try to recreate the polished production values of the record. For some songs, that would be desirable, but the quirky and intriguing element of their music is that it is organic - riffs, bridges, reprises, and leitmotifs somewhat grow out of themselves, and so the stage show treatment for some songs requires a shift in presentation. I am too old to sing, and yell, and dance, and jump as much as I did. My wife, who is only passably familiar with the songs, had a great time as well. After a Springsteen concert in the late 1980's, and a Skynyrd concert in 1976, this one may well be third on my all time list. I had that much fun.
Great show! Good venue, and fantastic band! The opener was great too!
Great set list. Great energy. This band should be much bigger than they are.
I've always been a big fan of Frabbit led by Scott but tonight was incredible. They played a lot their old stuff which was great treat and they were so much fun with the crowd. So many funny stories! The only thing is that Newport has to fix their sound system... You do that and you can allow great bands like this one to truly shine, but there was too many times when they sounded like ass cause the feedback from amps overpowered the vocals. Other than that Frabbit, keep doin what your doin.
Best concert I've been to in awhile. Loved the venue. I am partial to the feel of the smaller venues, but the show was outstanding. Great sound from a fantastic band.
Philistines Jr. started out the night - enjoyable enough, but not in the same groove as the following two bands. Augustines were full of energy and set the mood for Frightened Rabbit, who provided a charged-up, rousing evening of music. Terrific melodies and a close connection to the audience. Highly recommended!
The opening group, We Are Augustines, were great, so high energy, a great way to get started, and then Frightened Rabbit was insane, so good. They played for almost 2 hours, were really engaging and just all around fantastic.
