Bad Rabbits To Bring Diversity to 11Fest
Bad Rabbits is used to being different from the norm. From the vast ethnic diversity the band has to the genre lines they continue to break, the group out of Boston has taken steps to differentiate itself from the mass.
The group might be a rock, punk band, but they also have a heavy basis on R&B music, and that can be a daunting title, especially when you land a spot on Warped Tour. Yet Bad Rabbits did just that–and grabbed a hefty fan base as well.
“We weren’t like anyone else on that tour,” bassist, Graham Massar. “A lot of the bands on the tour actually really rallied around us. We made friends with the bands you find on Warped Tour… they really championed us to their fans.”
Since their slot on Warped Tour, Bad Rabbits has taken influences from the other bands and pushed it into their own music.
“It was really awesome to watch these really great bands everyday,” Massar said. “It’s really been great for us, because a lot of them are returning to our shows when we tour across country.”
Fly.Union to bring local flare to Athens show
Breaking his finger in seventh grade effectively ended Jerreau’s trumpet playing career, but began his career rapping.
Well, it may not have exactly began his rapping career, but it did give it a jump start.
“I played trumpet in the seventh grade, and then I started rapping,” said Jerreau. Each of the members, whether formal or not, have a long history with music, and they have each made it their career with rapping for Fly.Union.
“I didn’t study (music) past high school. I played instruments in high school, but I always created music and made beats throughout my life, same as Iye,” Jay Swifaa said.
Iyeball agreed. “All of our families have backgrounds in music,” he said.
With that those heavy roots in music, the members of Fly.Union are not without experience both on stage and off. The trio is known for meshing styles with rap, including a large influence from their home town and state: Columbus, Ohio.
“To be able to do shows in Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, and Cincinnati, it’s a great when you have the support from your own state,” Jerreau said.

Describe your craziest/funniest story: One of the crazier stories I’ve had was when I was sitting looking out my window and drinking with my buddies and I had a fantastic idea of playing poo dollar. I went outside and search for 15 minutes looking for some dog “poo.” After finding it, I found a rock and put it under the rock waiting for some lucky person to find a dollar. After waiting for 20 minutes someone eventually picks it up and walks away with it. I yelled “That’s a poo dollar!” She was looking all around for where our voice was coming from. Eventually she found us and yelled “Thanks for the dollar!!!” and walked away with dollar and probably shit all over her hands. That was probably one of the funnier stories I have from here.
