A band that was briefly, with
Tullycraft, at the forefront of the
cuddlecore movement. That is, they played happy joyful cute music with some loud
guitars. And, as one reviewer put it, "a casual regard for singing in tune". Nevertheless, a very enjoyable band with amusing songs such as "We Suspect He Was Trying To Spell
Monkey," "Boy Meets Wall," "
Macho Beagle," and their
tour de force "
I Am Curious Partridge."
Founded in 1993 by Matt Harnish, Karen Reed, and Renee Dullum in St. Louis. They played guitar, drums, and bass, respectively, and all of them sang. Dullum left around the time their first album, Action Pants, was released. Jen Wolfe then joined the band and was honored with the title of their second album, Jen-fi. Bunnygrunt broke up in 1998; Harnish and Reed soldiered forth as The See-Thrus with help from members of Darling Little Jackhammer. It's rumored that Reed, now Karen Stephens, is in a band called Thee Noble Gases UK.

I have a Bunnygrunt T-shirt. It has five very small birds on it. It confuses people.
