I'm still so sad about his death...saw them a couple of times and they were so jovial on stage RIP Scott, miss you so much
He suffered from depression, really bad. He wrote this about ten years before he committed suicide... Sadly prophetic. Since his death, the remaining members of the band and his family started a charity, Tiny Changes, to help young people deal with depression. They bought out an album with lots of bands doing covers of Frightened Rabbit songs, brilliant album. And just read that they are planning a film in his memory too... New Frightened Rabbit film 'to honour late frontman' please log in to view this image Image caption, Frightened Rabbit performed at festivals such as Glastonbury Published 5 April 2024 A documentary on Scottish rock band Frightened Rabbit, which aims to honour the legacy of their late frontman, is in development. In posts on social media the group said they hoped the project would be "a real, honest and true representation of the band over the years." The group were one of Scotland's most popular acts for a number of years, until dissolving after the death of singer Scott Hutchison in 2018. Surviving members of the five-piece have now asked fans to contribute any videos and photos they have of the band for the proposed film. They said they were "keen to create something that feels like it's from the [Frightened Rabbit] community". They added that the film "will honour the enduring legacy of Scott and Frightened Rabbit and what both those things mean to people now and then." Mr Hutchison had spoken publicly about his mental health struggles for a number of years before his death. He started the band as a solo project in Selkirk in 2003 before it expanded into a full band, which went on to secure Top 20 albums with Pedestrian Verse in 2013 and the 2016 release, Painting of a Panic Attack. Scott Hutchison Image caption, Scott Hutchison died in May 2018 They had originally been in discussions with film-maker William Miller regarding a documentary in 2018, to mark the 10th anniversary of their break-through record The Midnight Organ Fight. Those plans were abandoned after Mr Hutchison's death, with the band effectively breaking up, save for occasional appearances. Members of Mr Hutchison's family, including his brother and Frightened Rabbit drummer Grant, have since established the Tiny Changes charity for mental health.
I was at this gig too, when of James Graham of Twilight Sad covered this Frightened Rabbit song. They were good friends (the drummer in Twilight Sad is Scott Hutchisons brother), and it was very emotional...just watching the video now is sad
Well they didn't really have much in store on Saturday, so had to go online when the RSD releases went on sale at 8pm tonight....sat in a virtual queue for over 20 minutes for three seperate stores (Rough Trade, Townsend Music and Assai Records), finally got in to Rough Trade and secured the Mansun album, but the limited edition one by The Fall that I had my eye on had sold out (only did 500 copies though).
