Playboy’s Rock the Rabbit is calling up its Playmate friends and some of its favorite artists and hopping down to the 301 in Austin, Texas for a night of revelry. After a ridiculously good time last year, Playboy and C3 Presents are proud to announce that for the second year running, Playboy’s Rock the Rabbit will host the Annual Late Night Party in Austin. Partygoers will be able to preview the Rock the Rabbit t-shirt collection and sign up to Rock the Vote, while enjoying live performances from some of the hottest music acts around.

The 9th Annual Late Night Party in Austin is for guests 21+.


For the second year in a row, Playboy’s Rock the Rabbit initiative will fuse rock, hip-hop, art and fashion in conjunction with Playboy’s annual March music issue. Rock the Rabbit 2008 includes an impressive line-up of legendary artists, including Duran Duran and Iggy Pop, as well as other cutting-edge musicians across a variety of genres, both established and buzz-worthy up-and-comers.

On newsstand now, Playboy’s March Music issue has within its pages a fashion pictorial shot by famed shutterbug Mick Rock, with featured artists including Iggy Pop, Daft Punk, The Shins, Gogol Bordello, Hot Chip, and Duran Duran. The other artists featured in the Rock the Rabbit 2008 program are profiled online at www.rocktherabbit.com, and include the Mercury Award-nominated artists Jamie T and New Young Pony Club, new Saddle Creek signing Tokyo Police Club, UK girl wonders The Pipettes, and hotly-tipped Austin duo Ghostland Observatory.

As part of this year’s program, Rock the Rabbit artists will put their twist on the iconic Playboy Rabbit Head logo by creating limited edition t-shirt designs. Original prototypes of all t-shirt designs will be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting Rock the Vote (www.rockthevote.org). A special collection of Rock the Rabbit t-shirts will be available nationwide at select Bloomingdale’s locations and online at ShopTheBunny.com.
