About Rabbit Rabbit Radio
Rabbit Rabbit Radio is a song spinning duo whose music draws on their love of art song, folk song, industrial music, improvised music and heart-wrenching balladry. Carla is a lapsed classical violinist who wandered away from that path decades ago and never looked back. Matthias is a drummer/multi-instrumentalist with a lifelong commitment to absurdism and a good groove. If you listen closely, you'll hear traces of their other musical associations – Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Tin Hat, Skeleton Key, 2 Foot Yard, Minamo, The Book of Knots, Fred Frith's Cosa Brava – but Rabbit Rabbit Radio dares to peel back influence and to reveal a music that is stripped down and intimate. Their songs are raw and beautiful, sparse and rich, lighthearted and full of pathos - bringing to life the small stories of unsung heroes... and almost always telling the truth.

ABOUT THE 23/24 SEASON
Third Angle’s 23/24 Season embarks on a journey from dreamworlds, to human connection, and even to the absurd. We’ll bend your mind with a glitching multimedia experience that turns censorship and surrealist video into musical psychedelia; ascend into a sky of ancient souls; celebrate Queer love and joy; and unify sound, mind, and body through vibration.
Joining us is a cast of artists including inaugural Guest Creative Director Derion Loman, soulful mezzo-soprano Hannah Penn, and Rabbit Rabbit Radio’s sonically rebellious Carla Kihlstedt & Matthias Bossi, not to mention some familiar 3A faces.
