Its taken me a bit too long to come around to LA’s Pepper Rabbit. Perhaps the notion of peppery rabbits didn’t appeal to me. Then I found out that one of the members last name was Laurent (Luc Laurent) – BAM! – instant connection. Actually their music is pretty decent and I’ve been grooving to last years release Beauregard (out now on Kanine) pretty heavily recently. They pulse out that cool folk like rock like ambient like pop heaven that bands like Grizzly Bear have made all the rage. They’ve been working on a new album and will be playing some new material when they roll into DC on April 28th to the Black Cat. Here’s some of the old:

I saw them open for Miniature Tigers the other night, and I was less than impressed. Actually kind of annoyed. They pretty much suck live, and IMO, on record too. Can’t say I was even much of a Mini Tigers fan, but they had a great show and were very entertaining. I did not expect to see Pasta post this band at all, but to each his own.
Sucks about the live show. Would’ve never guessed. I enjoyed the album. Mini Tigers have always been a favorite of mine and their live show has always been solid – nice dudes as well.
