Hey, who's this UltraBunny and what happened to BunnyBrains 88? Simple answer, BunnyBrains 88 changed their name to UltraBunny. See question 3 below. We're very tired off people confusing our band (the original members of BunnyBrains) with what Dan Seward is passing off as "The Bunny Brains" these days (total crap). Thus we changed our name and want you to appreciate us for what we are, not what we were. the music is still the same as BB88, and its still Malcolm Tent, Bobby Bunny and Pete Beest, we just have a new catchy name that proves our dominance over all bunny bands. 02. UltraBunny, you mean like UltraMan? You got it, we can grow to the size of large buildings and whoop the asses of giant alien monster rock bands, but only for 3 minutes. 03. Whats this about two bands named BunnyBrains? Which is the real one? Will they get back together? Bobby Bunny and Malcolm Tent started BunnyBrains in 1988. Dan Bunny (aka Eg the Poet) invited himself in as singer some time later. 16 years and 65 additional band members later, everyone had quit except for the original 3, who due to artistic and personal differences had separated into BunnyBrains 88, (original recipe) and Dan's solo act going by the name The Bunny Brains (extra crispy). Both bands formed from the same core unit which coagulated in 1988. Due to the inevitable personality conflicts inherent in rock and roll, 2 bands ended up being better than one. Both seem fairly real and neither thinks you could handle a reunification. 04. What happened to former band members such as Chandy Pinkeye, Raimondo and La Persona? Chandy is working on solo noise/electronics projects and occasionaly opens for UltraBunny. Her latest project is called Wiggleroom. Raimondo still plays guitar on his own and also engineered the Squirrel Attack ep. 05. I saw the BunnyBrains and they sucked! You saw Dan's band. Sorry about that, come see us next time instead. : ) 06. Who really started the band? To set the record straight, the BunnyBrains were originally formed by Bobby Bunny and Elisa Flynn. They were playing together in Invaders From Sears in 1987 and since the Vaders were basically Bob's band, Elisa wanted to start a new band where they could be equal partners. Elisa came up with name and the two of them wrote a list of 10 song titles that would be there first album. Bobby & Elisa immediately recorded 2 tracks (Brickhed with a Mohawk and Dead Squirrel) but almost immediately after, Elisa ran off with another man in a rival local band, and Bobby was left with a dead project. But a month later, Malcolm Tent was asked to fill in and the two gentlemen sat down for a improvised recording session in Bob's aunt's basement and 3 hours later had a 6 song demo tape. The newly formed BunnyBrains then hit the road for a few live radio performances in Connecticut and Massachussetts and just when things were getting fun, local weirdo performance artist Eg the Poet stopped by and decided to do vocals one session, and he saw a good thing and chucked his other band projects to join the bunnies. Let it be known, that since Day 1, the band had been conceived as an "open project" or a franchise, in which members joined and left on a nightly basis. You played whatever instrument you felt like bringing, and talent was never a factor. the band was quite a communal endeavor at first, a super group of members of at least a dozen other local noise bands. So yes, you could say that Bobby started the band, and that Dan had a hand in it too, but without the motivation of the 65 or so other band members over the years, all that wouldve proved worthless. BunnyBrains is a product of a scene, a melting pot of myriad musical misfits. A band whose sum outweighs the individual parts. A band that belongs to everyone and is owned by noone. Regardless of how it started, it doesnt seem to ever want to finish. We're guessing we could go another 16 years easily, and maybe someday you will be a member too! 07. Who owns the name BunnyBrains, and why dont you still use it?? We own it. Its trademarked by us as well. We lease it to Dan in exchange for him to stay away from us. We have grown up and beyond the stupidity factor that is conveyed by the name BunnyBrains, but we love the legacy and all the former band members (well, most of them at least) and feel shamed at what Dan is doing to destroy/cash in on a once great band. 08. What kind of guitar is Bobby playing? It's really strange looking... Also, what's that box he uses to do the weird vocal effects? A musicvox spaceranger. Check them out here at the musicvox website. The vocal rig is a variable assortment of rack effects, nothing special. Currently its an 4 second delay and a pitch shifter unit with a tube mic preamp. Its essentially inspired by the rig Gibby Haynes used in the Butthole Surfers, but its not like we're ripping them off or anything. : ) 09. What is Dan Bunny doing now? Really, we couldnt care less. Next question?.
