The band formed in Columbia Missouri. The band's frontmen, Greg Roberts and Stephen Patterson, met at the college in 2004. Alex Even, Adam Russell and Greg Roberts had formerly played in the band Texas Chainsaw Mass Choir. The original White Rabbits lineup consisted of five members, but after relocating to New York City the next year, the band expanded to six members. The sixth member, Jamie Levinson, had grown up on the same street as Roberts in Webster Groves, Missouri. Roberts and Levinson both played in a band called The Hubcaps while in high school.

The White Rabbits recorded its first studio album, Fort Nightly, and released it in 2007 to the public through Say Hey Records. The album was praised by critics.

In addition to consistent touring, they have been featured on NPR's World Cafe, where the band members discussed how they met and formed in the college town of Columbia, Missouri. They have also performed on the Late Show with David Letterman.

On May 12, 2009, the band released its second album, titled It's Frightening. The album was produced by Britt Daniel, lead singer and guitarist of Spoon. The album was released on TBD Records, which also hosts the bands Radiohead and Underworld.
