Screaming Bunnies (informally known as TSB) was a band formed in the early 1980s somewhere near Tampa, Florida U.S.A.
The band's original lineup was comprised entirely of sacked members of much more successful New Wave and Punk groups that performed in neighboring Lutz, Florida. The band adopted the odd notion of naming themselves after characters appearing in popular animated films and television. Their real names are still unknown to this day.
Donald Duck - Bass guitar
Atom Ant - Guitar / Vocals
Johnny Quest - Drums / Backing Vocals
Donald Duck originally formed the band after being kicked out of the popular New Wave/Ska band Thunderbergs due to his penchant for sucker punching his band-mates in the face as they emerged from public restrooms and for his out of control abuse of model airplane glue. Though Donald was a gifted bass player he was rejected by no less than 27 bands in less than 3 days after his falling out with the Thunderbergs. Donald fell into a deep depression but after months of reflection and painful glue withdrawal, Donald was determined to form a new band that suited his peculiar tastes in music and off stage behavior. While attending a lecture on quantum mechanics Donald ran into Atom Ant, whom he had met previously while trying out for the punk band Chin Chum weeks earlier. Atom had been ousted after it was learned that he was not actually a punk and had been a life long fan of the Canadian progressive rock band RUSH. Atom agreed to join Donald's, as yet unnamed band, in exchange for half a cigarette and three Eddie Van Halen guitar picks. The final piece needed was a drummer and thankfully Atom knew of a local drummer named Johnny Quest whom Atom befriended during his time spent in a south Georgia prison. Johnny had recently been fired from the renowned southern jazz band Epicat that had been performing at a nearby Holiday Inn. While on stage Johnny had accidentally set his drum set on fire when he attempted to tie his shoes with an empty vodka bottle. The resulting damage bankrupted the band and left Johnny looking for work. When Donald and Atom approached Johnny with the offer, he immediately agreed to join the Bunnies.
The band's first and only recording "Tepid Girlfriend" was an unremarkable collection of disjointed and unfocused songs based on the 1924 silent film "She Isn't Here". Screaming Bunnies never found an audience and a month after the release of Tepid Girlfriend the band disbanded to the relief of everyone reading this post.
In the months following the band's breakup, Donald and Atom tried to reform the band as Boneless Opera which turned out to be a total disaster culminating in the arrest and re-imprisonment of Atom for the next 15 years.
