Be afraid of The Rabies, be very afraid.
The sweet and syrupy powerful vocals of Lexi Lawsuit (often compared to Siouxsie Sioux), combined with catchy yet haunting guitar melodies, spooky keyboards, and the steady throbbing rhythmic percussion.it's horror pop cabaret that packs a punch.
Hailing from the underbelly of Buffalo NY, The Rabies emerged in 2003 and acquired a faithful following, all claiming to have been "infected" by the new buzz. With their concoction of punk, new wave, goth, and in-you-face rock-n-roll, The Rabies aren't here for a campfire sing along.they are here to wake the dead!
They might just do that.their first demo album entitled "Get Infected!!!" was recorded in the attic of a haunted house. It received air play across radio stations in Great Britain, Spain, France, Australia, and the US. It debuted at number 21 on the 'Most Played Albums' list at Three D Radio 93.7 FM in Australia, ranked at number 6 on MP3.com, and number 1 Gothic genre (NY) on Myspace.com.
Their much anticipated second album entitled "Night Terror" was released in August of 2008. Offering a higher production value than its predecessor, songs like "Vampyre's Kiss", "Eleanor", "Domination of the Dead", and "Ghost in the Graveyard" keep fans on the edge of their seats, addicted to the rewind button. It currently receives air play on radio stations and in dance clubs across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and South America.
Since they materialized on the scene, The Rabies have toured the US extensively and have shared the stage with such bands as The Buzzcocks, The Dickies, The Adicts, Wilco, The Murder Junkies, The Saints, The Koffin Kats, Trashlight Vision, The Germs, The Voodoo Glow Skulls, DOA, Green Jello, The Gore Gore Girls, Slaughter and the Dogs, Billy Talent and more. They also joined 45 GRAVE for two tours in both the Spring and the Fall of 2006.
They have worked with Goo Goo Doll Robby Takac's "Music Is Art" organization, worked with Hot Topic, and played on Van's Warped Tour. They also performed live to air on the Fangoria Radio show (hosted by Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider and horror movie actress Debbie Rochon) on Sirius Satellite Radio, and currently have endorsements with Coffin Case, Trash Queen Clothing, Hot Picks, Hyperion Tattoo, and Rotten Jack's Creep Shack.
No matter how much you dare to resist, they will infect you.The Rabies are contagious.
