At this point, I’m not sure anymore who likes Bunny Racket more, me or my son. The Pecan — about to turn three in less than a week’s time — was duly transfixed yesterday when I showed him the Australian kid-friendly heavy rockers’ video for “Moon Buggy,” which comes from their new album, Bunny Racket in Space, and as ever from my own point of view, I couldn’t help likewise appreciating the song’s complete and total lack of pretense. They’re not pretending fun doesn’t exist or that making and playing music together isn’t fun. And they’re engaging their audience without dumbing down the material. It’s simple but not at all unclever, talking about moon buggies carrying balloons and riding into the night — the dark side of the moon, in other words — and all that.

Along with Bunny Racket‘s take on “Stagger Lee,” and other recent clips like “Rock Like an Animal” and the perhaps-forever-on-regular-rotation “Woolly Mammoth on a Motorcycle,” the “Moon Buggy” video continues to serve as a fitting argument that whichever streaming service it might be — Netflix, Amazing, Hu-ever — should immediately set about financing a Bunny Racket show based around these songs. I have to imagine you could get a whole season out of Bunny Racket in Space. Plus you’d have cameo opportunities for the likes of Brant Bjork and Ed Mundell! And then in 25 years they can do a gritty reboot for the adults who were the kids who watched the original and everyone can make even more well-deserved money.

I’m not even asking for an executive producer credit. Just make it happen.

2020. Wow.

If nothing else, it really has been an incredible year for space travel. And that is exactly what these punk-rock bunnies have been doing. Travelling the outer reaches of the Solar System, they searched for a new sound to share with planet Earth’s radical kids. The mission has been successful. With a little help from some like minded space rockers – Brant Bjork (Kyuss/Fu Manchu) and Ed Mundell (Monster Magnet), the intergalactic stage has been set for a new chapter in the Kids rock ‘n’ roll playbook.

Now Bunny Racket are back from outer space with a brand new album and the first of a new series of music videos!

Bunny Racket In Space – this new album is out of this world!

I played the new Bunny Racket video for The Pecan, and he was coming up on naptime but still kind of into it, seeing the Australian, costumed kids’ heavy rock outfit for the first time. Bunny Racket, though directed at children, might be a little old for him yet, but he did a little dance and that usually means he’s into what’s going on. At least this wee. I’m sure next week it’ll mean something else. The dance of poopy tragedy, or some such.

Anyway, we were talking about new Bunny Racket. I don’t know where they’re at with the tv series or anything, but it seems to me that Netflix would only be dumbassed if they didn’t pick that one up and roll it out. It’s a dude in a battle vest and a bunny costume. I mean, seriously, what more do you want of television than that. Sign it up. Two seasons. If you have to raise my account cost another dollar every six months to make it happen, so be it.

The PR wire brings an update:

New Bunny Racket release!

Affectionately known as ‘the Motorhead of kids bands’, Bunny Racket is bringing rock to the kids.

Plain and simple!

But it isn’t just the little kids that we have in mind. Big kids, we’ve got you covered too!

Recorded with Brant Bjork in Los Angeles, this new music video for ‘We Want More!’ is a reminder of why we are doing all of this. A trip down memory lane to dig on all the things that made being a kid so great!

The series…

We raised over $50,000 through our Kickstarter campaign to create a couple of banging pilot episodes for the Bunny Racket series. Well, the pilots are finished and the Bunny Racket team have been busy pitching this series to networks and investors in every burrow, near and far!

The Bunny Racket series delivers electrifying, live action awesomeness in a super fun series that follows the musical adventures of King Bunny and his quest to bring rock ’n’ roll to all the boys and girls of the world, one hard-rockin’ song at a time.
80’s rock nostalgia at it’s best with a magical blend of Sesame Street going head to head with MTV!

2018 has been massive for the Bunny Racket Live show! Be sure to come along to a gig when we are playing near you!
