Since the release of their buzzed-about Stick Up Kids EP in 2009, Bad Rabbits have been making a name for themselves as one of the most compelling and eclectic groups to emerge on the music scene. Their sound is sexy, smooth and soulful, fusing together classic '90's R&B, post-rock, funk, punk and metal influences to create a futuristic new jack swing. Frontman Dua has a chill-inducing falsetto and textured vocals that claim the space somewhere between Sly Stone and Prince, adding an otherworldly shine to Bad Rabbits that is unmatched. With a high-octane live show that encompasses flashes of old-school synchronized dance moves and bone-rattling hardcore musical antics, the band has opened for the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Passion Pit, Deftones, Mos Def, Travie McCoy, GlassJaw, Bad Brains, Foxy Shazam and played the Vans Warped Tour.
