Formed in 1992 in Tampa, Florida, the group currently consists of performer/singer Bunny and producer David Christophere. Former member DJ Monk left the group in 2002.
After several singles released on Monk and David Christophere's Hallucination Recordings label under the name Anarch-E, their first success as producers came in 1993 with the release of the "Phases of an Out of Body Experience" single on Hardkiss Records. As remixers, Rabbit In the Moon has reworked songs by artists such as Depeche Mode ("Waiting for the Night"), Tori Amos ("Precious Things"), Sarah McLachlan ("Fear", "Possession"), Orbital ("Are We Here?"), Smashing Pumpkins ("The End Is the Beginning Is the End"), Goldie ("Inner City Life"), White Zombie ("Blood, Milk and Sky") and Delerium ("Euphoria").
Rabbit in the Moon has also collaborated with Humate and in 1994 they released the Hemispheres E.P.
Throughout their entire career, Rabbit in the Moon toured extensively across the entire United States playing shows at countless venues and raves.
The Rabbit in the Moon Remixes Volume 2 CD came with a liner note stating that there was a new album to be released in summer of 2001. The album never materialized. Because of Monk's departure, questions were raised as to whether the band was breaking up, but this was not the case.
A new song called "Time Bomb" surfaced in 2003, with David Christophere and Bunny as the only producers on the track.
In 2005, they made the song "Came and Conkered", inspired by and featured in the soundtrack of the 2005 video game Conker: Live & Reloaded. They were asked by Nile Rogers to create music for the Xbox remake of the game.
Early in 2007, a countdown to a new album appeared on the band's MySpace page, putting the release date in April 2007. The album was ultimately released on July 10, 2007. It features two discs: one, a collection of past singles and newer material in audio CD format; the other, a collection of music videos and live performances from various festivals and concerts in DVD format. The record is called "Decade", and was released on Contagious Musiq / Southbeat Records.[1]
As of 2010[update], Rabbit in the Moon have announced on their MySpace page that they are working on a new double album. They also are releasing a new single called "I'm Your Drug" and have done a cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" that will be released worldwide in March 2010.
On March 27, 2010, Rabbit in the Moon performed at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. David Christophere was not seen at this show, fueling rumours he left the band and of an imminent band break up.
The two have not performed a show together since. Bunny has been performing around the world under the title BUNNY or Bunny Live, dates found on his website BunnyInYourFace.com
