Ded Rabbit

Name, where are you from?
Ded Rabbit - We stay in Edinburgh but we grew up in the highlands and are originally from Yorkshire.

Describe your style in three words?
Indie, retro and a bit preppy.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Connan Mockasin at the Royal Concert Hall (new auditorium) 1st Nov 2018. It was evident that whoever was behind the booking of the tour had put a lot of thought behind where they were going to perform. The sound was the best I've ever heard as the newly opened new auditorium has large and small scale articulation throughout the hall that scatters the sound around the hall at different frequencies. They started the set in character from his new short film and then playing their classics in the second half providing the perfect marriage between a super tight band and great venue.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
The Clash - one of our biggest influences. Tame Impala - we love Kevin Parker's songwriting.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Punk rock - musically influenced us and the ideas and way of thinking has always given us a DIY approach to the whole process.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Little Richard - he seemed like he'd be a laugh to be around for an hour.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Sociedade Harmonia Eborense - Evora, Portugal. We played there when we were on tour a couple of years ago and were blown away by it. It was a lovely old building in the middle of Evora which is a historic town in rural Portugal. It was a great atmosphere, lovely people and great crowd.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
William Onyeabor - massively influential and reasonably unknown.
