In 1974 Trevor locked himself into work mode. By day he was playing sessions teaming with the best musicians and producers of the day. By night he was playing clubs with his old Conglomeration band mates Neil Cloud (drums) and Ronnie Robot (bass). Calling themselves Rabbitt, they were determined to perform their original songs. Though they could have played cover songs at other clubs for more money they finally settled at the the Take It Easy club which allowed them to experiment musically. Shifts at the Take It Easy started at 8:00PM and extended until 4:00AM on weekends. Though it started off as a rowdy and raucous rock’n’roll bar it was soon transformed when word got out about the hot new band. Rabbitt was beginning to attract a large and faithful following - especially female. Lines started to stretch out from the club to down the block as their popularity grew. 

It was now time to hit the studio and Trevor provided a strong set of original songs for the band to work on. Neil and Ronnie collaborated on the lion’s share of the musical chores with Duncan playing keyboards and singing on ”Hard Ride”. They spent a total of 9 days in the studio recording “Boys Will Be Boys”. The album earned them a gold record and a Sarie award for "Best Contemporary Music".  Trevor and Patric Van Blerk also won Saries - the former for the arrangements on the album and the latter for the producing.
