Press Release Summary: LOS ANGELES - Twisted synth-pop quartet GRAM RABBIT will be
appearing at INDIE 103.1's annual SUNSET JUNCTION festival August 24, alongside such
artists as Isaac Hayes, Broken Social Scene, Kinky and the Black Keys. The band will
have follow up dates in Utah and Idaho, with more to be added. From the unlikely
haven of Joshua Tree, California, GRAM RABBIT synthesizes an original blend of rock,
country and techno, featuring socio-politically charged lyrics with a playful edge.


Press Release Body: GRAM RABBIT have been critical darlings and concert favorites
for years since their first appearances. They have received significant airplay on
INDIE 103.1 Los Angeles, and have been championed by nationally-renowned station
KCRW. The band has mesmerized crowds at Coachella, San Diego's Street Spirit
festival, and London's Wireless festival. The LA Weekly declares, "Gram Rabbit offer
up in spectacle exactly what they do in sound: music that reminds you of everything
from eerie desert twilights to Carter-family country and then again sounds like
nothing you've ever heard."

Live performances find lead singer Jessica Von Rabbit decked out in dishy stage
costumes and rabbit headgear alongside guitarist/vocalist Todd Rutherford, also
dressed to the nines; the two appear as if the evil descendants of folk couple Ian &
Sylvia. The founding members are joined on stage by Ethan Allen on guitar and
Hillary Hack on electronics. The band reports that the Sunset Junction show will
include "ear candy, eye candy, and a pot of strange brew." They will be performing
material from their latest release, Radio Angel & The RobotBeat, produced by
guitarist Allen (Kristin Hersh, 50 Foot Wave, Luscious Jackson). The album features
the appropriately titled "I Wear The Ears," a call-to-arms track with a slowly
sinister electronic beat augmented by clock tower bells, string samples and Rabbit's
devilish command to "Activate your frontal lobe/disengage your anal probe."

In regards to the upcoming shows, Jessica offers up a couplet, "We're hot and weird
with that desert soul/but in the end we're still rock and roll."
