Artist Biography by Roxanne Blanford
Peter Elkas, "King" Johnny Starr, and Ben Gunning
formed the band Local Rabbits in 1990, when each was only 14 years old.
At that time, their forte was blues-oriented covers, but soon they grew
bored and instead tested the waters with an inventive guitar pop
approach. Within a few developmental years, and after the addition of
drummer Brian Waters (who was replaced in 1995 with Jason Tustin), the
band got a high-profile introduction to the Montreal music scene when
Halifax pop kings, Sloan, showcased the young band during tours and
brought them in on Murderecords, the label that Sloan had set up only a
short while before. In 1996, the aspiring quartet debuted with You Can't Touch This
and became the new darlings of indie radio with their kitschy, swinging
performance antics and self-deprecating showmanship. By 1999, Local
Rabbits would release Basic Concept and show themselves to be a pop band of matured musicianship and focus.
