Well, the age of the local rabbits would indeed place them in the plumtree category. I think that most of the local rabbits are 18. I also think that most of the plumtrees are 17-18. I'm not sure what the reference to dressing has to do with their age, though, as i remember, they seem to have a penchant for cowboy hats and hawaiian shirts--local rabbitts that is. Most of the times that i have seen plumtree it has been t-shirts and jeans... Perhaps the local rabbitts don't seem to be attatching themselves to the Halifax Scene as they are based in the suburbs of Montreal. However, when they were on Brave New Waves a few months ago they spoke highly of Thrush Hermit and related a story of an accidental crank call to chris murphy. They also played five shows with Hip Club Groove and Sloan on their last tour. Their main connexions with halifax would be their pop explosion performance last year and their single on Murder. Their Super Duper ep is worth picking up as it gives more of a cross cut of their curious blend of alt-pop and blues riffs than the single. the only thing it leaves out is their obsession with all things early eighties and cheesy. Most of their live performances feature at least one or two glimmering covers of the best of the worst. They're young, they're crazy, they rock, what more can you ask for? later, Mike N. aspiring local rabbits junkie?
