<b><i>Stick Up Kids</i> EP</b> in 2009, <b>Bad Rabbits</b> 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 <b>
Dua</b> 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
<b>Wu-Tang Clan, Passion Pit, Deftones, Mos Def, Travie McCoy, GlassJaw, Bad Brains, Foxy Shazam
</b>and played the <b>Vans<i> </i>Warped Tour</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
