RABBITS ROCKED THIS YEAR'S IPO FEST IN NYC!

Although their lead guitarist was absent due to illness, the other two members of Rabbits pulled of a quick set of songs from their debut album, consisting of just drums, one guitar played very loud by the bassist who also handled lead vocals, and lots of energy. The crowd at IPO cheered on the two Rabbits like the under dog boxer at a fighting match who was up against the other bands who had all their members present but no one could match the Rabbits, the crowd helped the disabled Rabbits come out on top, buying CD's and paying some of the most awesome repects to the band for pulling it off as a two piece. Comments like "You guys blew my mind", and "Unbelievable Musicianship and strong songs!" made the Rabbits feel all warm inside. One fan was so excited that after buying a CD, she asked the Rabbits to bite off a piece of the album sleeve for her??!!! That was a first! Thanks to David Bash again, for letting Rabbits join the bill, this was their third year at IPO, and David has invited them back for next year, which will again be a sight not to be missed. Thanks to the fans and the dreamers who are part of our world, we would be nothing without you. Also to our friends Mercedes, Cherie, and our new friends Dan, Amanda (Lara Flynn Boyle), and Nicole, you made the show a scream for us! - Rabbit

Rabbits on Trampolinesself-titled CD(REVIEW BY LORD RUTLEDGE)Discovering a new band that cites Queen as a primary influence is like meeting a girl who says she loves football - you just can't help thinking this thing's gonna turn out great. And turn out great it does on this debut album from Rabbits on Trampolines, recent arrivals to the Philadelphia area. For one thing, the band has the good sense to not emulate the things you don't like about Queen (the prog-ish tendencies, the ridiculous bombast). The Rabbits' sound, although owing at least a little to modern Brit-pop, mostly draws from early-to-mid '70s pop/rock. Filled with buoyant, euphonious tunes, the group's debut is a throwback to the days of light shows and glitter and larger-than-life iconography. In this age of gloom and rage, it's utterly heartwarming to hear a band so fervently and genuinely aspiring to the epic, massively hook-laden rock stylings of Queen, Cheap Trick, classic Bowie, and early E.L.O. This is a branch of rock n' roll that's severely underrepresented today - sweeping, high-energy music brimming with multi-layered harmonies and soaring vocals. And here it's delivered with great love and enthusiasm for the form, these songs reviving the feelgood tenor of a bygone era without sounding corny or retro. Fans of Jellyfish, Todd Rundgren, early Radiohead, and '70s Elton John, take note!For a debut album, this is a remarkably impressive collection of songs, running the style gamut from piano-driven pretty pop to melodramatic anthems to bomb-bursting rockers. Tops are "Better Again", "Shelter Me Margaret", and "Never Say". Not bad for a bunch of rabbits sent out on a mission to "restore rock n' roll to the good earth and its surviving occupants". Who knew that bunnies could sing in a falsetto?

cd review

Body:

RABBITS ON TRAMPOLINES (www.myspace.com/rabbitsontrampolines) A perfectly crunchy'n'punchy 14 song serving of highly catchy, lively and engaging rock'n'roll vigor, this album displays a total dearth of pretense and a certain straightforward go-for-it sensibility that's both refreshing and commendable in equal measure. The nifty ringing guitars, deep diggin' basslines and chunky pounding drum beats sway and swagger with rip-snorting tuneful aplomb. The robust vocals howl and wail with a similarly infectious gusto. Great background harmonies, too. But what really makes this album such a delightful treat is its winning blend of simple, vibrant and joyous melody and marvelously upbeat and cheerful positive attitude. This is the kind of music that not only makes you want to dance, but also makes you feel good while you listen to it. Accolades don't come any better than that. - Joe Wawyrzniak Jim Testa/www.jerseybeat.com   THANKS JOE & JERSEYBEAT!!!
