White Rabbits played a show at Emo's outside with local openers The Sour Notes and TV Torso. John Pesina? He was there. So there.

Although White Rabbits' last album dropped almost two years ago, they are stopping by Emo's tonight in the midst of a mini-Texas tour.
Snapshots: Here We Go Magic and White Rabbits
White Rabbits and Here We Go Magic performed at the Independent last night. Our contributing photographer, Trent Lesikar, was there to catch all the action.
White Rabbits & Here We Go Magic at The Independent [Tonight]
The mild weather has stuck around for awhile now creating probably the longest record of known Springery here in Austin. Usually, it seems like there are only about 2.5 of these perfectly sunny-but-not-too-humid-with-a-spot-of-wind days before we creep into the blazing ball-busting heat of summer.
Get out and enjoy it while you can, Austin. One delightful way to spend this particular Spring evening is heading to the White Rabbits show at The Independent. This six-piece indie band based in Brooklyn is a sweet combo of enchanting vocal harmonies and powerful rock beats that's slightly reminiscent of the Cold War Kids.
White Rabbits Coming to the Independent
White Rabbits will be at the Independent on April 14, supported by Here We Go Magic. Tickets on sale Feb. 13.
Show Previews: White Rabbits at Emo's, YouTube You Call It This Sunday
White Rabbits will be performing on the inside stage with The Subjects and The Boxing Lesson. Also a New York band, The Subjects say they're "like Nickelback but less ballsy," but in reality the music is closer to the quirky rock of their Brooklyn ilk. Hardworking locals The Boxing Lesson (who cover "White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane...coincidence?) will also perform.
Austinist Previews SXSW Saturday: Hot Freaks, Press Here & Mess W Texas
Saturday Saturday Saturday! It's a bounty of goodness unlike anything most people of privilege (or non-privilege) have seen, seeming that it is filled not only with SXSW's usual wealth of day-funs and joys and diversities, but that it is also privy to the wonderment that is Mess With Texas 2, a noon-to-ten cornucopia of music and comedy at Waterloo Park. It's sort of like a day of Fun Fun Fun Fest plus comedy minus the price plus the knowledge that there's great stuff going on everywhere else as well. So let's get to it, and all the other great stuff going on EVERYWHERE, shall we?
Mess With Texas 2 @ Waterloo Park
At this event, it's almost ridiculous what a wide range of musics you'll be able to see, from electro-folk to softcore-punk to anti-pop to alterna-world to whatever-other-hyphenated-genre-you-could-possibly-fabricate. Headlining are the Kim Deal-led Breeders and late-nineties punk-stars NOFX, but they are just icing on the cake of a day that features acts as intriguing as the inimitable Islands and the ever-so-subtle Atlas Sound. And, take a deep breath, because also lining up on one of the three stages is rise-from-the-ashes-via-Juno story Kimya Dawson, the mysteriously-spelled Wooden Shjips, hype-machine Simian Mobile Disco, quick risers Yeasayer, Monotonix, and No Age. And in case you haven't already caught them, this may be a convenient time to check out local respectables Shearwater and White Denim. Seriously, though, that's a ridiculous list already, and it's really just the beginning. And it's free, for God's sake!
And there was some comedy at this Mess With Texas thing, too, right? Yeah, you can expect some laughs from the likes of Janeane Garofalo, Brian Posehn, Todd Barry, and Eugene Mirman, among a veritable slew of others. Make sure to get there before the sun goes down if you want to check that out, though, because we all know humor goes best with some sunshine.
Austinist Show Preview: White Rabbits and Co. Saturday at Emo's
It's August already, and if you haven't sweated it out to some great rock outside at Emo's yet, you can't claim to be an actual citizen of this 'burg, let alone a real human in the world. It can be a trying, vaguely sensual experience testing your physical, mental, and spiritual stamina amongst so many different flavors of scenester/hipster/regular Joe, all with their own fragrance and fashion aesthetic - or lack thereof. Also, due...
