Blac Rabbit is a psychedelic rock band from Rockaway Beach NYC formed by twin brothers Rahiem and Amiri Taylor. While attending high school they learned how to play guitar, write songs, and also taught themselves how to produce music, taking particular inspiration from the soul, rock, and pop they listened to during their childhood, with The Beatles being “toppermost” on their list. Their sound consists of an eclectic mix of influences from contemporaries such as Toro Y Moi, Mgmt, Temples, and Tame Impala, to older musical acts as The Police, Duran Duran, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, and of course, The Beatles.
In late 2017, the duo released their first self-titled EP Blac Rabbit, which the duo performed, produced, and mixed, with the help of live drummer Patrick Jones, who provided drum performances on two of the six tracks on the album. That, combined with a few television appearances, garnered them a lot of attention and their fan base began to grow. The group released their first studio album Interstella in 2022.
