They preview three brand new songs in Austin

White Rabbits performed their second show at SXSW this afternoon (March 15) after a massive 27-hour drive from New York to Austin.

The six-piece played their first show at Club De Ville last night, just four hours after arriving in town, and were watched by a large crowd including Vampire Weekend.

They performed their second show at the same venue today at four, before rushing off to play their third and final show at the Nylon Lounge.

'How’re you guys doing? We're Spoon from Austin, Texas' quipped singer Greg Roberts Before launching into a brand new track entitled ‘Foxhunting’.
