Left Outlet and The Dead Rabbits Play Slims April 14

On April 14, at Slim's Downtown on South Wilmington Street, some serious rock n' roll was heard.

Raleigh band Left Outlet began the show around 10 o' clock to a highly receptive audience. The band plays Slim's regularly, and the crowd knows what to expect. They have a tight rhythm section with solid bass lines, great vocals with catchy lyrics, and a lead guitar that absolutely wails.

Dead Rabbits were up next, a two-piece band from Georgia with one guitar, one drum kit, and two vocalists. They play in a bluesy garage-rock style that is simplistic, yet that is its charm. The groove is easy to latch on to, and the sound is amazing.

  1. I listened to the song you have posted above and catchy is definitely the word. I love it and I love the downtown area. I just might have to check them out the next time I'm down there : )

  2. Shows in the downtown area, especially Raleigh, usually seem to have a fairly healthy turnout. I think it's cool that Raleigh's music scene is active, because a lot of regions can't really say the same.
