Highlighter Rabies: Rock Band in New York

About Highlighter Rabies

Highlighter Rabies is a New York–based rock/pop group heard on small-to-midroom bills around the city, including sets at Sleepwalk. Their shows tend to favor compact song forms, with direct vocal lines and a rhythm section that keeps the arrangements moving. They’ve shared lineups with Dr. Dence Dot Spam, Status Set, and ADHD, often in mixed-genre, three-band formats. The band’s approach leans toward clarity over spectacle, letting tempo changes and tight transitions do the work.
