[Dance With You Cover Art]Critically acclaimed post-R&B band Bad Rabbits have premiered the video for their irresistible summer single "Dance With You" today on Billboard.com. PRESS HERE<http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/5672671/bad-rabbits-dance-with-you-teddy-riley-clinton-sparks-exclusive-video-premiere> to watch. The song features and is co-produced by Teddy Riley (who is of course celebrated as the creator of New Jack Swing and whose credits include Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" album, Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative", founder/member of Blackstreet and producer of "No Diggity", Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly) and Clinton Sparks (Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Pitbull). PRESS HERE<http://smarturl.it/brDANCEWITHYOU> to purchase on iTunes, which recently premiered on SPIN.com<http://www.spin.com/articles/bad-rabbits-dance-with-you-teddy-riley-american-dream-stream/>. "Dance With You" is our first peek at Bad Rabbits' much-talked about American Dream recording sessions with Teddy, which do not have release plans just yet.



Bad Rabbits has also just revealed that they will perform the song for the first time on national TV on The Arsenio Hall Show on September 24th. Grammy-winning, multiplatinum, legendary producer and the "original rump shaker" Teddy Riley and Clinton Sparks will join the band for this very special performance where we will see his mastery of the talkbox in full effect. Be sure to tune into The CW at 11pm ET/PT.

The video for the feel-good, party song pays homage to Teddy's classic Wreckx-N-Effect "Rump Shaker" video against the backdrop of a raging New England-style party, a nod to the band's Boston roots.  Filmed on Lake Massapoag in Sharon, Massachusetts, which was voted once of the best U.S. towns to live in, Static Noyze (from MTV's America's Best Dance Crew) joins the fun for a classic '90s dance call out sequence.

Says Teddy Riley, "The guys and I had so much fun creating this record. Thanks to Clinton Sparks for taking us back to the roots of New Jack Swing, in its rarest form. Bad Rabbits are the new jack swingers of this millennium and will be a household name of a generation to come, like Earth Wind & Fire."


In other news, Bad Rabbits have just announced two special headlining shows - December 20th at Bowery Ballroom in New York City and a New Year's Eve show December 31st in Cambridge, MA, at The Sinclair. Next up for the band is a show with Taking Back Sunday September 12th at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ and a headlining show September 24th in Los Angeles, CA at The Sayers Club.



Bad Rabbits spent the summer selling out venues on their American Love headlining tour in support of their debut full-length of the same name (out now on Bad Records in conjunction with Karmaloop Music). The album hit the #1 spot on the iTunes R&B Chart and the Top 10 on the Billboard Heatseakers Chart, landed the band on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and garnered praise from the likes of Pitchfork, USA Today, MTV Buzzworthy, Alternative Press, Vice and Vibe.

PRAISE FOR BAD RABBITS:

"The man behind Blackstreet (not to mention Michael Jackson's Dangerous) is in full effect on the funk-fueled R&B groove, lacing the track with those familiar go! go! go! go! background chants, and holding forth on the talk-box like Zapp circa "Computer Love"... main Rabbit Dua Boakye deserves credit for the strength of that growled-out delivery....it's safe to say the early '90s are alive in this one." - Spin.com



"...startling versatility...with a crack band, a nimble vocalist and the tutelage of Teddy Riley they're certainly headed in the right direction..." [7.5]...- Pitchfork


"Go see Bad Rabbits. Just do it. Thank us later." - Billboard
"The futuristic R&B band deliver a funk-fueled ballad [with 'Fall in Love'] - USA TODAY
"...[Doin' It is] a vibrant, horn-blasting, dirty bass funk-popping blast of throwback R&B charm..." - MTV Buzzworthy

"Bad Rabbits have put together a bruiser of a record built on dirty grooves and nasty habits. Vocalist Fredua "Dua" Boakye growls with hard rock grit on "We Can Roll" but earns his keep with a piercing falsetto straight out of the Prince playbook. His approach is high-flying, shooting straight for the rafters." - Boston Globe
