-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.
