Show preview: White Rabbits @ Bottom of the Hill, 5/27/08

This is Jeopardy. Shall we? Category: Rock music bands who will play in San Francisco tonight Answer: Adam, Alex, Gregory, Jamie, Matt and Stephen Question: Who are six guys with quite ordinary names that compose an extraordinary Brooklyn-based gang of indie rockers called White Rabbits? Correct. Contestant #2 takes the lead with $3,200. White Rabbits, who released an overlooked diamond in the rock rough with last year's Fort Nightly, play your typical indie rock songs, but with a twist -- the sweet melodies won't make you barf. That's because they throw in a pinch of Vampire Weekend tropical percussion, a heap of Man Man's maniacal piano tinkerings (and engaging madmen singalongs) and top it off with a sprinkle of Jeff Buckley's haunted honeysuckle croon for an end concoction that's as dark as it is addictive. Yum. So check them out tonight at Bottom of The Hill. Get smitten. And save your Alice in Wonderland jokes for the ride home. White Rabbits w/ Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Company Car.
