Gram Rabbit

"Gram Rabbit has been baking in the desert town of Joshua Tree for some seven years now, gradually honing their sound. It all comes together on their at this point self-released new album, Miracles & Metaphors. The song titled “Time of Our Lives” is the majestic kick off track from the full-length!" -Nic Harcourt, A&R Worldwide Music & Media Newsletter-KCRW DJ

“This up –and-coming group out of Joshua Tree is a weird – and promising – amalgam. They appear ready to claim a place in the line of self-reliant, independent-minded artists who germinated in Southern California’s deserts, from Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart in the 1960’s to Queens of the Stone Age in the ‘90s.” - Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times

“Dry and tough as mule jerky, sexy as a swayed hip, the music weaves elements of electro-dance, Byrd’s-era country rock, inner-space jazz, and gnomic meditations in the manner of Spiritualized and Pink Floyd into a sound that’s unaffectedly homey, profoundly ambitious, and frankly revolutionary.” -Ron Garmon, LA CityBeat

“…this trio have managed such a deft application of eccentricity that in less than two years they’ve bunny-hopped from shadowy obscurity to a comfortable seat atop a big sticky pile of rock & roll candy…Having won themselves critical accolades aplenty and a spot on the upcoming Coachella ordeal, the swift and pleasingly strange Rabbit ascension continues to defy any foreseeable limitations” - Jonny Whitside, LA WEEKLY

"Their gimlet third eye seems to take it all in, scatter the sociocultural data into a cosmic sifter and glean some remarkably peculiar, cutting perspectives." - Jonny Whitside, LA WEEKLY

"Gram Rabbit is the face of 21st century glam; denser than Scissor Sisters and more fun than Ladytron. If everyone who heard Roxy Music got these sorts of ideas, the world would be a vastly better place." - Chris Henderson, The Houston Press

"The brotherhood of the hare is ready to spread across the nation … and the world." - Paige Newman, MSNBC.com

"RadioAngel and the RobotBeat" is just stellar and as of now is one of my picks for the best of 2007. Well done, Gram Rabbit. Well done. - Vanessa Franko, The Press-Interprise

Through three albums, including 2007's "RadioAngel & the RobotBeat," Gram Rabbit has carved out a Garbage-meets-Spaghetti Western pastiche that elevates high desert mysticism almost to the occult. - Kevin Bronson, LA Times

“…Gram Rabbit take Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood’s formula for sexy psychedelic country to the next level.  Hot ‘n’ weird.”   - Dazed and Confused (UK)

“What a find this quirky Joshua Tree-o has turned out to be...Think Portishead on horseback” - Derek Adams, Time Out London

“Fronted by a woman who calls herself Jesika von Rabbit, teeters uncertain on 4-inch heels and exponentially enhances her allure with obstinate sullenness, 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; a little twang, a lot of machine noise, some vaguely trancelike slowed-down synth effects, some fine psycho-pop lyrics about Jesus and cowboys and unrepentant goofiness.”  - Judith Lewis, LA WEEKLY

SXSW Best In Show “Three bands blew me away this trip – Gram Rabbit a desert trance band that is like Garbage and the B-52’s with serious content.” - Brad Kava, San Jose Mercury News

“Music to Start a Cult To is always fun and never boring, but you may feel the need to bathe after listening to it” - Gene Armstrong, Tucson Weekly

“Sunday’s Coachella fest got off to a slow start with unimpressive performances by hyped artists like Fiery Furnaces and M.I.A. (with the definitive exception of the acid-trip costume show by local, sexy psych-rockers Gram Rabbit).” - Jeff Miller, Variety

Future of indie: 10 bands to keep an eye on “7 Gram Rabbit: Rilo Kiley should be ashamed. The excellent L.A. band ditched Saddle Creek Records, made a sub par album, then was outshone in its backyard by Gram Rabbit, billed as Coachella's only hometown band (from Joshua Tree.) Gram Rabbit's sample-infused country was not only dynamic (and Wilco-esque), but the tracks from "Music to Start a Cult to" are defined by their restlessness. One moment it's Flaming Lips-style electro-folk, the next dance- pop. One moment lead singer Jesika Von Rabbit sounds like Kim Deal, next Chrissie Hynde. It's an aural smorgasbord, and the meager crowd at the band's early-afternoon main-stage set was left salivating for more.” - Ricardo Baca, The Denver Post

"Gram Rabbit is the music I’d been looking for, even though I didn’t realize I was looking. Edward Abbey wrote: "Love flowers best in openness and freedom." Gram Rabbit are proof that the same is true for music. - Helen Jupiter, Suicide Girls.com
