CrzyC1414779017 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Maybe I missed something at Ultra but....RITM didnt really seem to be about the music...more about the shock value of the show? Am I right or did I miss something? Please clue me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ddg Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 they are innovators....the music to me is unreal...along with the show...dark, lots of breaks....they do tons of remixes...monk threw in a remix of inner city life...they also did obe...its more of a total experience for me, maybe bc i like my music sometimes a little "darker"..i really wish bunny would have come out in the 9 foot bunny suit...beady red eyes, and huge fangs...it just goes so well with what monks throws out there...i wish they would have had the chinese dragons too....but they played more songs that i like (unfortunately, not the version of obe i really like) but when monk played the piano at the end was my fav part...i love the piano in dance music..

Guest Lotto Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I thought it was a shitty show! Really just because they had some guy running like a mad man on stage and a few sparklers doesnt make a show! The music was really wierd and I just could not get into it! So many people where like " go see RITM " so I did and what a waste of time for me!

Guest LeVeL Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Your absolutely right, Rabbit In the Moon is more of show....they put all the psychadelic lights, and Bunny usually is in the front to try to scare the crowd and put them into a frenzy, by blowing out smoke, or by putting on a weird looking suit with mirrors attached to them. Rabbit In The Moon is like Pink Floyd was to rock. Pink Floyd always had one of the best Stage shows out there. Just the thing with Rabbit in the Moon is that their music is very good too. Monk always seems to play breaks,electro, he goes from genre to genre it all depends what kind of stage show they are trying to bring to life.

Guest ddg Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 there show was not as organized as last year..bunny ran back to monk a couple of times looking confused as to when the set was over...everything got pushed back from earlier....as for them having "sparklers" when the three fire chicks came out and monk threw that ambient track...thats just something different...its more of a show(with good and twisted music to it!! 8)) even if their show was not up to par, the simple fact that they dont get up there and just throw records at you all while trying to get the audience more participated (stage diving) getting up close to the crowd is a good direction for me...its not for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coach Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 It seemed to me that this is the kind of show that is best seen indoors and more close up. I realize that they are trying to set a "mood", and I agree with the Pink Floyd comparison, but I just don't think that was a good venue for them. Maybe if they'd been in the amphitheatre.

Guest LeVeL Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Exactly...they deserve to be in the Amphitheater where people can see what they are trying to express in their show. Having them play in any other stage is just making their performance not as stand out as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ddg Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 bunny couldnt stage dive into the crowd at the amphitheatre wherever they are, if they put them on the stupid vice electro stage next year, i will be there again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrzyC1414779017 Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 To be honest I never even paid attention to the music...maybe because it was my first time seeing them and I was being shoved around by a 350lb wildebeast of a woman! Maybe if I see them again I will notice the music more but it seemed to me that wasnt the reason they were there...it was more of shock value and lets see how we can trip these people out. Doubt I will see them again though...would have rather caught someone else then the wildebeasts huge elbow in my side and her hand inching near my crotch area!!!

Guest Diabolique Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 just slightly off topic..anybody know if they perform anywhere else during the year...their website isnt up to par....do they just do ultra.....where is confucious....that was the 3rd guy before right?? i know he left awhile ago..but what is he doing?lololol!!  first off, guys, monk is no longer part of Rabbit in The Moon. He separated from them over a year ago or more to pursue independent projects. The fella behind the keyboards, and the Zenlike mastermind behind most of the music is Confucius/aka Dave Christophere. Bunny has had a hand in some of the newer songs, and continues to have a more prominent role in the music. He sings on Time Bomb and Mindfuck. Bunny is the stage artist, and the face of RITM. Usually he does really cool stuff, like slay a dragon, passes out goodies, like hologram glasses for the lights, plays a theramin, or get the crowds' postive vibes some MORE juice. He has designed and made all his own costumes, some of which are ingenious, i.e. the mirror suit...The last few years I keep saying I'm over it (even amazing experiences get redundant), and only go because my bf is going, & other dear friends are there, and everytime (minus this year) I am highly entertained, and am gratful I decided to go after all. Usually they have something new, and always surprise us with something unexpected. Please give RITM another chance! The sound engineering was horrid, they didn't do half of what they normally do, nor did they play some of the really PHAT songs (ie barong, for those who know). They didn't even finish the show like they always do, which is what makes the show. I think the downplayed pyrotechnics/sound had to do with ordinances. Also Bunny has never sang before, that was odd even to diehards. I've been to so many shows I've lost count (14 or so), and that was the first and only show I ever saw that I didn't walk away feeling energized and blissful. The shiva dancers were the only aspect of the show I that really liked.The best place to find out where the next show is..ask me! or ask around www.Hallucination.com/fans forum or www.rabbitinthemoon.comnext show:April 17th at the Asylum in SpringField Mass, RITM along with DB and a bunch of other crap DJ's, and more talent TBA... the event includes breaker contests, DJ Battles, and MC battles...it's 16 yrs old and over, uh-oh...here's the promoter's site:http://www.netwerkone.com/nw1/index.htmlmy only beef with ritm, or with Dave, perfectionist bastard, is that they keep saying this album is coming out for like FOUR years. pffft. I'm beginning to think It's not real  lay off the ganja DAVE :that's all I have to say about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall him playing there, tho I did not attend...http://bellsouthpwp.net/k/a/kaligrrl/event_pix/HBC2003/P1020119.jpg At one time the music was made by Dave and Monk, but in 2002, they officially went separate ways professionally. By 2000, Bunny was starting to become more involved with the production of music. Bunny started out as a fan, and became the stage presence, and eventually more. I speculate that he would like to be a singing frontman, after his stint with the Bowie cover at Ultra. he sang it w/ some other heads in a karaoke bar in NYC on NYE, so I guess he wanted to try it on stage. I wasn't up close enough, and wasn't watching too close..by that time I had kind of lost interest, which was a first for me w/ them.. my friends who did see it thought it was weird. bunny told me he enjoyed himself, so it's all good, I suppose..monk does a cool hardhouse show, complete with sexy/funky dancers. For hardhouse fans, it's a show worth checking out at least once, and for the boys, he has a naughty blonde dancer named Skandelous who is a yummy, slinky version of Christina Aguilara, but with even more attitude  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
