Ded Rabbit take a break from recording their debut album to perform a mini tour in Ireland.
Four brothers outfit, Ded Rabbit is an Alt rock/Indie band consisting of: Eugene (vocals, rhythm guitar), Fergus (lead guitar), Donal (bass) and Eoin Gaine (drums).
With a number of well received EP and single releases, they’ve continued to complete a number of high profile performances that should be on any UK band’s bucket list.
Notable achievements include: Sync work with Channel 4 & BT Sport, Never Gonna Learn’ reaching over 295k Spotify streams, ‘Better On The Day’ Reaching No. 2 in the Spotify Viral top 50 chart March 2016, headlining the TBreak Stage on the Saturday night of T in The Park 2015, Kendal Calling 2017, Belladrum 2016, Xpo North 2015-6, Wide Days 2015, SAMA nomination for ‘Best Live Act 2015’, continued air play from BBC Radio 6’s Steve Lamacq and Vic Galloway and recent support from Sat Bisla on his ‘Passport Approved’ show which has been airing a number of Ded Rabbit tracks on various station worldwide including KROQ (Los Angeles).
Originally from Yorkshire, Ded Rabbit moved to the Highlands in 1996 and through the isolation and a developing love of music, the brothers started playing music together for over ten years. After moving to Edinburgh to study, they started working together in the studio, releasing their EPs ‘Wash Away’ 2014, ‘Wake Up In A Dream’ and ‘Moving In Slow Motion’. In 2015 the brotherly unit began their highly successful partnership with Glasgow based Rocket Science Studios, who have recorded the likes of Texas and Bell & Sebastian.
“Their music echoes the influences they cite like Hendrix and The Beatles (post-1965) but they are avid gig-goers too, eager to see what is going on nowadays, so they are just as likely to be out watching Peace or Palma Violets as they are at home listening to Abbey Road or Electric Ladyland”– John Paul Mason, Daily Record.
“With hints of The Housemartins and early Arctic Monkeys infused with a twist of funk and original lyrics, they have created a distinctive and highly listenable sound of their own.” – Olaf Furniss& Derick Mackinnon, Artist Of The Week: Scotland On Sunday.
“I know they’re very hard working and are building up a good following in the capital… classic Indie sound” – Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland.
“Undeniable stage presence and performance skills”(-)”An exciting live band that will appeal widely and who are definitely festival-ready” – David Balfour, Record Of The Day.
The brothers have big plans for 2019 with tours across the UK and Europe and are currently working on their debut album which is due to be released in 2020.
“It’s an explosive affair when you see Ded Rabbit live. I’d put them up there with Catfish and The Bottlemen as one of the best live acts around at the moment.” – Jim Gellatly.Amazing Radio.
