Glasgow trio Frightened Rabbit lead the way from Scotland to this year’s Texan festivities. They bring their personal brand of indie-folk to Latitude 30” on Friday 14 March for the official Showcase Scotland event along with fellow Glaswegian folksters Make Model, Scotland’s self-proclaimed “Biggest and best new band” Dykeenies, Jyrojets and all the way from Stornoway, Our Lunar Activities. rabbit.jpg

The event will be headlined by relative old timers Sons And Daughters, who give the US audience a first taste of new album This Gift.

Also making their way south (and west) will be Dundee’s The Law, Edinburgh’s Freddie Stevenson and Rough Trade’s Aberfeldy.

Find out more about the showcase at the Scottish Arts website and tune into Vic Galloway’s Introducing show or the excellent Scotland Music website for further updates. Until then, here’s some Sons And Daughters:

Track: Darling
Tomorrow: Northern Ireland
