Experimental Products- Prototype LP

Experimental Products were a two-man minimal wave project who formed in Delaware in 1982. By the time the group disbanded in 1987, they had expanded to four members and had released one full length LP and a handful of 12'' records. Mark Wilde and Michael Gross remained the core members of the band until their demise.

Uploaded below is their lone LP, 1982's Prototype, originally released on Short Circuit Records. Without any further adieu:

Bunnydrums- On the Surface 12''

Sorry for the delay yet again, folks. I think I'm going to try to cut back to twice a week for the summer, as I've been a mixture of swamped and lethargic as of late. Otherwise, I do have two releases in store today. A request post will follow, but first up, here's a stellar Bunnydrums 12'' ripped straight from my personal collection.

I loosely covered Bunnydrums just under one year ago, but this release is seemingly out of print. A quick recap: Bunnydrums formed in 1980 and originally split in 1986, after releasing a handful of singles and two full length records. The Philadelphia based band reformed in the new millennium, compiling several of their releases for the PKD/Simulacra collection, still available through Metropolis Records. The Funeral Crashers had the pleasure of playing with Bunnydrums just last year, but since then, the band seems to have split once more. Will they rise again? Only time will tell...

In the meanwhile, here's the info for 1984's On the Surface 12'':

For your viewing pleasure, here's a live performance clip of the band performing the title track in Holland, 1984:

Please pardon the lack of updates over the past few days, my dears...but I have been indisposed and out of town. That said, I've dug up an old favorite for you folks today, one that were once on to something great before disbanding prematurely, but have since resurrected themselves and are a currently active and coherent unit.

Bunnydrums culminated with various members of the Philadelphia punk rock scene in 1980. Keen on expanding the punk aesthetic with a slew of dance rhythms, saxophones, and electronics, Bunnydrums would set up shop and focus most of their energy recording, but would occasionally gig out in support of such bands as R.E.M., Pere Ubu, Bauhaus, and the Cult.

The band released a handful of singles, a duo of EPs, and two full length, 1983's PKD and 1984's Holy Moly before their split on New Year's Eve, 1986. Though the current lineup occasionally explored other musical avenues and managed a few one-off shows the year after they split, the band would remain dormant until the new millennium, when the band shockingly reunited. Though they have yet to release new tracks, they've been gigging steadily in the east coast, and after signing to Metropolis Records, they have since remastered and re-released most of their back catalog on the compilation PKD/Simulacra.

For your listening pleasure, I've uploaded two seminal Bunnydrums tracks, the driving synthetic drone of 'Smithson' and the funky dark groove of 'Holy Moly.'
Enjoy!

and here's a youtube video of the revamped band performing the song 'Closed Eyes' live at the Trocadero in July of this year.



Keep your eyes peeled for Bunnydrums live dates in the east coast, including a gig in NYC with our little band, Funeral Crashers in October! For interested purchasing parties, here's a link to order PKD/Simulacra on CD:
