Dirty Little Rabbits

I've seen loads of rock bands over the years.... from goth to thrash, gloomy shoe gazing grunge to glam rock cheese and most, if not all of them, have been great. But rarely have I seen or heard a band that has impressed me as much as the Dirty Little Rabbits did when supporting Lacuna Coil at the Academy in Birmingham this week.
Possibly best known as Sean 'Slipknot' Crahan's other band (but certainly no side project), they put on a show that left me grinning for hours. I downloaded their EP 'Simon' as soon as I got home and it hasnt left the turntables in Colson towers since. They are more or less the band I've been wanting to hear for years.
As youve no doubt realised, Im not the most eloquent of chaps, and to accurately describe the bands sound is by no means easy, so Ill leave it to Jordan Richardson of Blog Critic to describe their sound in this fantastic review of their recent EP.... http://blogcritics.org/music/article/music-review-dirty-little-rabbits-simon/
And in the meantime, here are a couple of my shots from the bands gig in Birmingham on Monday. Finally, please please please do yourselves a favour and check out the bands site.... you wont be dissapointed... http://www.dirtylittlerabbits.com/
