Yet more Frightened Rabbit shenanigans...

Ah, as the release date for A Winter of Mixed Drinks fast approaches (March 1st) we're being treated to yet more Frightened Rabbit goodness. The band have released the album track Fun Stuff for fans to download, and there's now also a competition (gosh, how exciting!).

Fun Stuff first emerged last year when a demo titled Last Tango in Brooklyn started doing the rounds. Other than the change of name, there's not much that's changed in the song - the production on this new version is just a bit slicker, as one would expect from an album cut. As a song, it's what we've come to expect from Hutchison & co. Bitter and acerbic, after the lairy roustabouts that were the previous two singles, Swim Until You Can't See Land and Nothing Like You, it's nice to hear hints of the softer touch that made Midnight Organ Fight such a lasting success.

As for the competition, head over to the band's Muzu channel for the full lowdown (as well as a few FR videos too). Submit a cocktail recipe (see what they did there?) by the 15th Feb. to be in with a chance of winning free FR gig tickets and an after-show drink with the band.
