White Rabbits, last night at Recordbar

For the last four years White Rabbits have circumnavigated the globe opening in the shadows of Interpol, the Walkmen, Spoon, and Kaiser Chiefs, but last night, band leader Stephen Patterson said — a bit perversely — that it was their first time playing at a club in Kansas City, and they’re from Missouri. Patterson introduced the Kansas City native, bassist Brian Betancourt; auxiliary percussionist Matthew Clark waved to his mom from the stage. On the tiny stage of maybe the coziest strip mall in the region, within arms-length of wall-to-wall native fans, White Rabbits glowed.
