Album US 1998 on TPOS label
Alternative (Punk, Avant-garde)
TPOS 056 is essentially a catalogue place-holder for all live Bunny Brains recordings featuring Malcolm Tent, TPOS label owner. The goal of this was to build enough material to release a 24-hour set housed in a miniature suitcase (as a homage to Throbbing Gristle's 24-Hour Tape box set). This goal was never fulfilled but many individual cassettes were made and sold separately - each with the same TPOS 056 catalogue number. TPOS 056 was initiated on 11th October 1990 and features performances from 1989 through to 1996. The Bunny Brains were prolific live performers and as such many different live tapes exist (all having the same catalogue number). Each tape came in a hand-made sleeve and track listings differed significantly between performances. In selecting a cdr for release, a master recording is randomly selected for duplication. A copy is made and then randomly assigned artwork. Neither the purchaser nor the seller know exactly what the finished product will contain. Using material from TPOS's own achives this contributor has found the following Bunny Brains live tapes [listed chronologically], although it must be stressed that others do exist that are not in the TPOS archive. Some have rough titles while many others do not: Acoustic Bob Griese from around 1989 [exact date unknown] Live 9 February 1989 [location unknown] live in Port Chester: 22 June 1989 Guaranteed : Live on WBRS-FM, Waltham, MA, 12 July 1989 Live at Trash American Style, Danbury, CT, 3 September 1989 Live at The Anthrax Club, CT, 30 December 1989 Live at The Ozone, New Haven, CT, 5 January 1990 Love Will Tear Us Apart : Live 9 March 1990 [location unknown] In The Barn : Live at the P.O.E.

Modeled after Throbbing Gristle's 24 Hour suitcase full of tapes, TPOS 056 is a comprehensive document of every live show I ever played with the BUNNIES. (Those that were taped anyway. Most of them were). Some great, some awful, but all were put before the public and destined to remain in the public arena." The track listing on this release page represents the performance dated 11/11/92 at Tuxedo Junction, Danbury, CT.
