Rabbit @ Vacation

Somehow this one slipped through the cracks. A week and a half ago, I joined my friend Brett for a night out, ending with a strange mostly-punk Halloween party but starting with a local rock show at a small art gallery called Vacation. Although there were two bands that played there, I really wasn't into the second at all (a Pennywise-style punk band), so I never caught their name.

That said, the first band, simply called Rabbit, was pretty solid, despite not being able to hear the lead singer's apparently Muse-inspired vocal lines. Easily the strongest selling point for this band was their charismatic bass player, who not only had all the right moves (despite being a bit over-the-top in such a small venue), but also had nearly all of the most interesting instrumental parts in the band (whether it be on bass or his cheap synthesizer).

While the P.A. they were playing through was certainly muddling up the singer's parts, I am intrigued enough by the band to check them out the next chance I get. Regardless, they seemed like cool guys, so I did a bit of networking with the bass player and look forward to staying in touch with them.
