Feed The Rabbit
Netherlands
Biography
A Hootenanny; that is certainly the ultimate target for the true singer/songwriter according to a strict definition? You sometimes see it in one of those old American films: ‘hootenanny on grandma’s front porch.’ Simply bring some musically sociable friends together on the veranda, bottle of beer and play. That’s how it works with Thijs Felperlaan and Chino Ayala of the duo Feed The Rabbit. The two of them travel to a nice maisonette in France and then it all happens. Without a big crowd hanging around, but definitely with a crate of beer or a good bottle of wine from the region. The friends joining in are part of their own band, rock band IndianAskin. They can tag along or not. Oh, you need not have sympathy with them. Because Feed The Rabbit is also the title of a song by the band. This way all band members are always nearby. Nevertheless Thijs and Chino come quite close to a proper hootenanny. In this relaxed, inspiring environment the songs arise instinctively. What happens when leading band Feed The Rabbit splits further than the ‘leading band' IndianAskin? Because that can happen just like that thanks to the participation in Unsigned, where they also by chance got involved thanks to an attentive application form by friends of the band. ‘Sometimes Chino and I do a Feed The Rabbit song during a regular band show,’ according to Thijs. ‘The others are then quiet for awhile.’ This is, too, is possible. The reversed form of hootenanny. Nice, huh?
