Weird dress sense is a feature of The Gutted Rabbits, which are hopping back into action.
In the mid-’80s and early ’90s, Deakin University Football Netball Club was better known for its sense of humour than its prowess on the field. Part of that sense of humour was the club’s resident band The Gutted Rabbits, a gaudily-dressed bunch of pub rockers that was the house band at a number of Sharks functions during that era. With the Deakin club celebrating 30 years of football on Saturday night, it seemed fitting to line-up The Gutted Rabbits for a reunion gig. The band was renowned for its humourous songs. The other eye-catching aspect of The Gutted Rabbits was their outfits, which usually involved a healthy helping of ’70s clothing, both male and female. The group features three singers in former Sharks Stephen Mitchell, Ruddy Holland and Chris Bailey, with their backing band featuring The Monaros’ Gav Steere (bass), drummer David ‘‘Dinga’’ Bell, local guitar hero Danny Grigg, and former Sharks coach Ken Radley (rhythm guitar). The band formed in 1985 and played at least one gig a year until its final gig on July 2, 1994. During their career The Gutted Rabbits recorded an album called Myxomatosis, which has been re-released to celebrate the reunion.
