Indie-rock band, White Rabbits, visits the Mill

Six-piece indie-rock band White Rabbits is based in Brooklyn, N.Y., though it originated in Columbia, Mo. The group has spent the better part of the last two years on the road.

White Rabbits will perform at the Mill, 120 E. Burlington St., at 8 p.m. Dec. 5. Admission is $10. The event is 19 and over after 10 p.m.

During its current tour, which began on Nov. 29 in New York, the band has had a performance scheduled every night for nearly two weeks.

It has toured with such notable acts as the Walkmen, Interpol, and Spoon.

White Rabbits has performed at such major music festivals as Lollapallooza, Austin City Limits, and Voodoo Music Experience. It formed in 2004, and the group has released two albums, Fort Nightly (2007) and It’s Frightning (2009). It is scheduled to release a new album in 2012.

The band is unique in that it employs a two-drummer lineup, making for rhythmically intense and high-energy live shows.

The intense sound is showcased in the band’s recent single, "Percussion Gun," a fitting title for the booming song.
