BUNNYBRAINS
Sticky sheets. Dangerous sex. A dirty breeze that smells of acid and hate. Curdled lunacy. Inhuman yelps. Idiot savant drums play. Bleeding walls of guitars that are equal parts junk, gunk, and misfired spunk. You've heard it all before, right? Or have you? Plenty of people have heard of Connecticut's Bunny Brains - their deviance precedes them - but how many have heard the band's long-out-of-print 90's output in all its skuzzy glory? To be sure, the BB's are still a going concern thanks to sole original misfit/co-founder/guitarist/singer Daniel Saxton Bunny and his tireless trolling of homeless shelters and rehab clinics for future band members. And their live shows still frighten, confuse, and entertain magnificently. But the 90's incarnations of the band were different animals. Uglier, meaner, and decidedly more unhinged. A bad trip a la Buttholes - including that band's warped sense of humor -or Bunny Brains compatriots of the day. How many people have heard the legendary "CD 93?" One of the great-lost psych/noise/punk records of the decade. Or the equally as strong and demented Blackjack full-length, "Bunny Majik?" Or the bewildering train-wreck of styles that is Beach Bunny Bingo, a 10 inch that came out on the influential Now Sound label? Or better yet, have you heard the near incomprehensible art-punk weirdness that the band hypnotized Matador Records into releasing on a dare? I think not. And now, someone else has lost their mind long enough to re-release, for the first time, all of the above muck and myriads of room-clearing gigs in basements, in one sexy limited-edition box-set. Along with a DVD of archival live footage culled from the bunny hutch, the rare latter-day band-released CD, "Show Me The Bunny" and enough bonus tracks of unreleased slop & roll to make even the most dedicated freak-rock fan howl in pain and delight. Before the band was befuddling the Devendra Banhart and Mindflayer fans of today with their assaults of noise and drugged-out humor they were horrifying Sebadoh and Dwarves fans with more of the same and then some. This box will provide a one-way ticket to dementia and prove definitively that hardcore art and poetry from Danbury, Connecticut does not begin and end with Charles Ives and Youth Of Today.
