Blue Rabbit is an eight-piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses alternative indie pop with baroque elements, modern rhythms, and a hint of cabaret. Fronted by a close-harmony singing trio, grounded by intricate drum and cello grooves, and adorned with the syncopated pulsing of a Celtic harp, Blue Rabbit has been described as “The Andrews Sisters playing with Portishead,” or “Nick Cave songs with a touch of The Supremes.” Blue Rabbit’s lyrical imagery and haunting, minor-key melodies evoke a sense of magical melancholy akin to that of UK contemporary, Bat for Lashes. However, their penchant for counter-melodies, atypical time signatures, and Kurt Weill-like chord progressions, sets them apart and lends their sound a
timeless, theatrical appeal.
Springing from the imagination of singer-songwriter, Heather Anderson, Blue Rabbit existed first in 2005 as an experimental drums and vocal duo. Since auditioning the rest of the crew and debuting live in 2006, Blue Rabbit has gigged relentlessly around the Bay Area – moving quickly from playing house parties to selling out ticketed events. They’ve performed with artists such as Emily Jane White, My First Earthquake, Coal Beautiere, Chelsea Wolfe, Beat Beat Whisper, with members of Built for the Sea, the (former) Dance Hall Crashers, and in festivals with SambaDa, Bloc Party, The Ting Tings. Blue Rabbit has performed live on college and community radio stations such as KWMR, KDVS, and KOWS. The band has also received multiple awards, including Artist of the Month on The Deli Magazine SF, and was ranked 3rd most popular indie-pop band in the Bay Area, alongside local darlings, Rogue Wave, Loquat, and Mini-Pop (both in December, 2008). Since their release, “Getting Away” and “Love Secret” have been included on four compilation discs, and “Separate” has been selected for inclusion on the soundtrack of Hollywood feature film, “5000 Seconds”.
“ ... [T]he title track is some great rolling cello pop ....” – The Bay Bridged Monthly Mix (Podcast)
"With influences ranging from the Shangri-La's, ELO to Pinback, expect some gorgeous harmonies, catchy hooks and smart pop." - Cool As Folk, KDVS.org
"Canadian Music Week and Toronto welcomes Blue Rabbit, a delicate genre-bending journey, seamlessly blending baroque-folk, lounge jazz ambiance, with piercing soul-stirring harmonies. A soundtrack where the traditional and modern collide to create a collage of shimmering avant-garde bliss." – Lonely Vagabond, Toronto, CA
“Blue Rabbit’s Separate is a breath of fresh air. Formed in 2005, this San Francisco-based cello/harp septet demonstrates a tasteful mixture of jazz-like melodramatic feel and phrasing, thick harmonic layering … ; the result is a blend of sound that most Greenwich Village and Brooklyn-based ensembles strive toward, but fall well short of ...” – MusikReviews
“Blue Rabbit drives their songs with strong lyrical content and melodies you can’t shake. Their debut EP, Separate, is a feast for the ears...[It] is a brave and exciting album that takes big risks and wins. Dark, melodic folk/pop songs with credible weight and depth await you.” – Wildy’s World
“… Blue Rabbit comes across as something akin to the long-lost mystery sister of Feist and Rasputina, with a catchy pop sensibility that’s remarkably schlock-free…. This band could appeal to just about anybody, from the American Idol crowd to those with vastly more purist or cynical taste.” – Lucid Culture
“Contemporary stuff for contemporary ears, Anderson and her crew have studied well and know how to serve it right. A deep work on the art rock side ....” - Midwest Record
“Blue Rabbit demands attention, and when a harpist, cellist, and three girls who harmonize extremely well line up the stage, you can’t help but be completely immersed in their music.” – The Bay Bridged
“‘Sleep’ is rolling drums, throbbing cello, its exhausted, insomniac central character chanting herself to sleep in gorgeous harmony.... ‘Getting Away’ pushes the vocals further …, soaring to great heights that leave little wonder about ... Blue Rabbit’s ability to at once stick with a classical Baroque sound and yet defy boundaries. Can’t find your white rabbit? Follow a blue one down the rabbit hole, and you won’t be disappointed.” – Online Rock
