Formed in San Francisco, September 2003
A good handful of musicians have passed through the doors of the Rabbles with guitarist/singer J.Lee, the remaining original member. We play guitar driven 3-4 minute rock songs that are heavy on hooks and melody, occasionally stretching out into some extended psychedelic and noise. J. Lee was the only songwriter in the band, but now Marina Lazzara (gtr/voc) and Jamie Kimmel (bass/voc) have added a few numbers to our ever expanding set list. Rounding out the band is fun loving Dave “Crash” Mairs, our beloved drummer and disc golf enthusiast.
We’ve completed two full length recordings, Rabble Music and RabbleRabble, and wrapping up a third entitled RabbleON. All three are produced by J.Lee and our former bassist Jesse Carlo Parsons and will be available at this website for download or as a CD. There’s a definite progression or regression or just plain aggression in our sound from the first album (which features our tech maestro and founding member Colleen Nagle on drums) to our last which was largely done live in the studio. Our lyrics tend to be political, of the world and of the self. We often hang out discussing current events and the general injustices of our times, conducting what we call Rabbles Roundtable. Mostly we like to play our variety of crusty rock songs. Our music covers power pop, sonically mad stuff and lush ballads. Some of our members other projects have been (or still are) Static Faction, Aerosol Species, Cheapest & Best, Blue Gum Art, Poetiks, THIS, Subshrubs, Pie, Shmoogie and Ghost Echos.
The new True Margrit CD - The Juggler's Progress - is now available for pre-order, along with t-shirts and artwork, photo and drumheads, as we get ready for our monthlong tour of the Great Northwest! Check it out here: http://bit.ly/7Cu8J
Look for us in Washington, Oregon and California between October 15 and November 15, when our tour wraps up with the big show at San Francisco's best rock club, Bottom of the Hill! For the complete show schedule, check here: http://bit.ly/1UgGqQ
