Upcoming Event

An Evening With
Blac Rabbit

January 25 at 6 pm
Metro Baptist Church
410 West 40th Street

For our first event of 2025, the Upstart Creatures are proud to welcome psychedelic rock band Blac Rabbit! Fresh off their South American tour with Lenny Kravitz, Blac Rabbit performs both Beatles covers and original songs with a "vintage" sound. The band is led by twin brothers Amiri and Rahiem Taylor, who describe their original music as psychedelic rock, influenced by the Beatles, Radiohead, 1980s music, and contemporaries MGMT, Tame Impala, and Toro y Moi.

"Their music has all of the positivity and optimism of an LSD trip with none of the existential dread."
