Bunyip

Bunyip has been hibernating for the Winter...BUT WAIT!!! Saturday Feb 3 Kai Eckhardt Trio makes an appearance at Rendon Hall at the California Jazz Conservatory in Berkeley. Originally planned as a quartet with good friend (and Garaj Mahal bandmate) Oz Ezzeldin, Oz has had to make a trip back home to Egypt so it will be Kai/Hassan/Chris as a trio. Not exactly Bunyip either, as there'll be some new sonic explorations, a different space, a different vibe...PUMPED!

Tickets (open seating) are $25 and available (until sold out) right here: https://concerts.cjc.edu/bhm-kai-eckhardt-quartet/ so grab those while you can.

A FEW WEEKS AGO...

Jeff Tamelier: "Hey Chris, I was gonna ask you about getting in touch with Kai for a gig etc"

Chris: "Hey Kai, this dude Jeff Tamelier was just reaching out, he's got this cool duo with Tony Lindsay"

Kai: "I know Tony, we played as far back as the early 90's"

Lucca Beer Garden: "We should put something different together for the Parade day in town"

TODAY...

4PM - BUNYIP + JEFF TAMELIER & TONY LINDSAY all get thrown in the blender. They'll do some duo, we'll do some Bunyip, we'll sit in on each others tunes, and do some as a 5 piece. That's the plan anyway. (FREE/ALL AGES WELCOME)

Thank you to The Bull Valley Roadhouse and Martin E Duvall for hosting Bunyip last night! We wish those folks well in developing their new live music plans.

Tomorrow - Buny!p goes back in time to The Bull Valley Roadhouse late 1800’s vibe, serious food+drink, 5:30pm PORT COSTA CA…

The residency-oid at Lucca Bar & Grill Lucca Beer Garden for Bunyip has concluded for 2021. Thanks to Lucca and Martin E Duvall for hosting us in July/Aug/Sep/Oct! We knew the 94510 would come through and keep live music going, against all odds! Now, YOU are all the people that helped us launch this band; the peeps that showed up throughout the last few months. Stay tuned because BUNYIP has found it’s feet and is now 100% pumped!

Lucca Bar & Grill Lucca Beer Garden 5:30 TODAY. Jams. Funk. Loud Amps. Bunyip is in a fun mood. Let’s party in the 94510. See you there.

Thanks to everyone who has come to the early launch-off BUNYIP gigs. BUNYIP knows there’s a limit - BUNYIP can’t keep dropping the same BUNYIP-type music to the same (awesome) crowd forever! October 16 is booked at LUCCA again!…but we know by California standards it’s 33.3% chance of rain 33.3% chance everything is on fire and 33.3% we’re cool. After spending the coming winter coming up with some new material I’d say the logical next step is spreading (our wings and) the tunes to other areas/towns/cities…so if October 16 happens for the Benicia-folk that may be your last chance to boogie for a while. Hope to see you there! We knew the 94510 would help us get off the ground. Thanks to everyone. You’re cool.

Bunyip continues its run at LUCCA in Benicia CA tonight!!!!!!!!!!! The prep has begun.
