-Alternative Rock
+Alternative Rock\\
+Cerritos, California, USA
-In 1986, [[Marc Plainguet]] and [[Mike Futch]] teamed up with Shaka and formed a band called Crazed Bunnyz. Using pseudonyms like Futch, Shaka, [[Gadget]] (Plainguet) and Box (the name of Gadget’s drum machine) they played an odd sort of punk rock using a bass synthesizer and drum machine. Soon, they recorded //Achtung: Musik Klirrfaktor!// and found themselves in the Christian underground scene which, until then, they did not even realized existed. A small following began to pop up across the United States and even overseas through their small mail order catalog.
+In 1986, after releasing one tape under the name [[Nutty Faith]], [[Marc Plainguet|Marc "Gadget" Plainguet]] and [[Mike Bing Futch]] teamed up with Sean "Shaka" Harrison to form a band called Crazed Bunnyz. Using pseudonyms like Futch, Shaka, [[Gadget]] (Plainguet), and Box (the name of Gadget’s drum machine) they played an odd sort of punk rock using a bass synthesizer and drum machine. Soon, apparently influenced by [[Undercover]], they recorded //Achtung: Musik Klirrfaktor!// in Marc's garage. They played one live gig and also found themselves in the Christian underground scene which, until then, they did not even realized existed. A small following began to pop up across the United States and even overseas through their small mail order catalog.
 Futch then decided to change Crazed Bunnyz to [[Johnny Quest]] and released //Transition//. Deciding that he wanted to devote more of his time to his solo career, Plainguet left the band.
 Marc also released //T.W.D.N.R.T.P.A.C.T.R.I.// a cassette containing the original 4 song garage recordings by Crazed Bunnyz and a recording of an interview with Plainguet and Futch which was printed in The Activist #21.
+Futch and Shaka then decided to reform Crazed Bunnyz and record //Blutgasse//. Futch and Sean tried to convince Marc to join for //Blutgasse//, but he was not interested. However, after three years, the Crazed Bunnyz broke up. Marc, Sean, and Futch remained friends and have considered reunitinh the band through the years.

 The Plan 7 Distribution release had the Crazed Bunnyz concert on side 1 and a [[Johnny Quest]] concert on side 2. Marc Plainguet was not a member of Johnny Quest at that time. The band is listed as Crazed Bunnyz a.k.a. [[Johnny Quest]] for that release. The Corpqii Productions release was edited to be more concise.
