Show Patrol: Gram Rabbit Casts a Spell. Jonathan Denmark Makes Hip Hop Blush
BY Jordan Whitley FOR LA2DAY.COM Jan 7, 2009
The Big Show:

Joshua Tree's electro-twang rock group is a sight to behold. Jessica von Rabbit heads this group of eclectic (to put it mildy), costumed musicians.
A night spent front and center will undeniably tap into your darker side. Let's just put it this way, when you go see a band with an electronic dance song called "Bloody Bunnies," and a lead singer who cites sexy witchcraft as a hobby, it's best to leave the kiddies (and the pets) at home.

Maybe it's his unapologetic stylistic originality, or maybe he's just a brooding heartbreaker, but something keeps us coming back for more.
