History

[edit]

DJ/remixer/producers Barry Harris[1] and Rachid Wehbi together with vocalist Kimberley Wetmore originally came together and began recording under the name Outta Control.

From 1995 to 1997, the group had three hit singles on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart: "Tonight It's Party Time", "One of Us" (Joan Osborne cover),[2] and "Sinful Wishes" (Kon Kan cover).[3]

After changing the name of the group to Killer Bunnies, Harris and Wehbi recorded a fourth charting single with vocalist Simone Denny, "I Can't Take the Heartbreak", which samples Class Action's "Weekend".[4]
