The Residents present THE BUNNY BOY

This is in Santa Cruz, not San Jose. FYI

The Residents latest performance, THE BUNNY BOY, will launch as a world tour in the fall of 2008. The show will combine music from the group’s upcoming album, THE BUNNY BOY (Mute/SDR), with video taken from THE BUNNY BOY internet series, premiering early in September, 2008.


The story centers around an eccentric character, the bunny boy, whose search for his missing brother compels him to post videos on the internet as a « cry for help. » As the story evolves, it opens up to interaction between the bunny boy and his audience, causing the narrative to twist and turn in odd and unpredictable ways. Spanning a gap between insanity and self realization, the loony, but affable bunny boy soon finds himself pursuing a goal no less vital than saving the world from Armageddon. It’s a wild ride.

The stage design, by Chris McGregor (CUBE E, Wormwood, Icky Flix) will feature a unique « schizophrenic » layout that allows performers to move between musical, video, and theatric realms. Barraging the audience with imagery and sound, in typical Residents’ style the performance radiates and savors the quality of a surreal circus. The group will perform their music live while integrating other visual and performance elements into an evening of riveting and unique entertainment
