I wrote ad-copy for the box. check my hyperbole! (it looks weird on the narnack site though. stuff got cut off or out.)
Sticky sheets. Dangerous sex. A dirty breeze that smells like acid and hate. Curdled lunacy. Inhuman yelps. Idiot savant drumplay. Pot brownie bass lines made of dirt weed and sweat. 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 scuzzy 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 decidely more unhinged. A bad trip a la Buttholes - including that band’s warped sense of humor - or Bunny Brains compatriots of the day, Harry Pussy. 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 trainwreck 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 didn’t think so. And now, someone else has lost their mind long enough to re-release, for the first time, all of the above muck and mire from those endless halcyon days of room-clearing gigs in basements, VFW halls, and hostile sports bars 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 Banheart 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. They have inspired legions of marginally-employed layabouts with their tales of ill-health coupled with a jaw-dropping love of volume. 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.

"dirty" and "dirt weed". that's unpardonable. Eh, oh well. I did it on short notice. For free.

I actually have a song on that now sound ten inch. "bring me the head of trent reznor". just me solo on guitar/drums/vocals recorded on a 4-track. I'm very proud of that tune.

four years pass...
I ordered a used copy of this awhile ago
but it was missing the dvd when I got it.
Is it worth buying again just for the dvd?
