Live It Up

First Blood (2010)- Goner Records
Punk from Oakland slaps on bunny mask, and starts recording music heavily borrowing from the pop of the 50's, with his own scumglam spin. (did I just create the next "chillwave"?)
Nobunny made his big debut with "Love Visions". He'd recorded various tapes and had smaller releases, but "Love Visions" is mainly responsible for getting his music out there. The album made you want to dance, drink, hug, and yell all the hooks that instantly infected your brain. 
"First Blood" is the follow up to "Love Visions". It was released on Goner records and is making its way up the Billboard charts (not really). Suffice to say, the sophomore album curse didn't hit this masked rockstar. Opener "Ain't It A Shame" is a gorgeous and excessively catchy song about pretty much being a shitty boyfriend. "(Do The) Fuck Yourself" quickly turns into an anthem for masturbation, and somehow it doesn't sound shameful or pathetic (as one would assume a song about masturbating late night after a party would be). Other highlights include Gone for good, Breathe, Live It Up, and Never Been Kissed. The album closes with "I Was On (The Bozo Show)". If or not he really was, who knows.
PLEASE, if you enjoy this album, go support this ultra-rad musician live. It'll be a fucking party, I promise you.
Here's a snippet i took off an article in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. You can read the whole article here
The blatant "(Do the) Fuck Yourself" conjures up perverse images straight from Nobunny's stage show, where his masked persona goes public, employing ball-gags while prancing around scantily-clad. When we finally meet in person, I ask him where these antics come from. His answer is quite simple, and makes sense coming from a rabbit, "I'm just horny," he says. All the while, in order to maintain a "shred of anonymity," he wears his favorite deranged-looking mask. It never seems to come off.
