Rabbit in the Moon

Rabbit in the Moon is an American electronic music group. Their style draws from psychedelic trance, house music and breakbeat, along with other diverse influences. Formed in 1992 in Tampa, Florida, the group currently consists of performer/singer Bunny, producer David “Confucius“ Christopher, and also a well-established DJ named Monk. The story of these artists is one shrouded in mystery, welling up from some primordial swampland.

Prior to Rabbit in the Moon, Confucius & Monk were both associated with throwing the first underground rave party’s in Florida, as well as collaborating on a new form of electronic music, mixing club music with hardcore punk, and alternative. Then one night at an underground party in Orlando, Confucius had an awakening, He realized there was a spiritual vibe missing from their music and wanted to elaborate. With Monk’s enthusiasm and direction, they formed Rabbit in the Moon and an independent label, hallucination recordings.

As Rabbit in the Moon’s music gained popularity in Florida’s underground, they realized it was time to make the next big step. Rabbit in the Moon need to perform their music live, but not like everyone else. They wanted something unique and different in contract with their music to grab the attention of listeners and brand in their brain forever!

Upon brainstorming their idea Confucius and Monk discovered stage performer Bunny and decided he would be a perfect fit to their vision. At the time Bunny was an innovative performance artist who fronted an industrial band in Tampa. After joining Rabbit in the Moon, Bunny began to create original abstract costumes that would possess him on stage, with each new character acting out strange rituals and forcing the crowd to take part.

It was this foreshadowed moment that Confucius and Monk’s vision for what was to become the Rabbit In The Moon live experience was now complete. With the combination of groundbreaking music, and Bunny’s mind-altering performances, Rabbit was propelled to the forefront of live electronic music.

In the new millennium Rabbit In The Moon’s live shows have grown into full-blown productions. Including the use of live interactive video (from OVT Visuals Chicago), live instruments, vocals by Bunny, fire dancers, pyro techniques, and a cast of rotating performers.
