  SPEAKER_05: Thank you guys for joining us as we uh get ready.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_05: The point of all of these interviews that we're doing is to kind of get to know these bands that are performing at the Great South Bay Music Festival this year.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_05: And I guess uh uh what are the I guess we'll start with Carl.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_05: What's kind of the origins of Bunktown Falls?
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_05: How long has this project been together?
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_05: Where are you guys from initially?
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_05: Where did what's the origin story, so to speak?
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so we're creeping up on almost 10 years now, right?
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_01: I think in like a year or two we're gonna be there.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um we uh band actually didn't start with me or Joe or Spencer, it started with Mundo.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um and these guys just came together and started jamming out, playing gigs, um and they hooked up with some of the bigger bands at the time, like uh Ujiwawa and a couple of other bands that are playing at Great South Bay.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um and yeah, man, we've been hitting the road.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: The guys spent a summer with me in Montauk, at least one summer.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: Mundo spent a summer, the old drummer spent a summer.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_03: Um, like it it really like I'm gonna jump in a little bit too because you know, like Carl said, please um, you know, it started maybe about 10 years ago.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_03: Um I was coming out of a band, um, another band from around here called uh The Warden in Fame, which really I gotta give them a lot of credit because they got me back off my ass and playing music again at one point.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_03: But unfortunately, you know, as these things happen, the bands uh fell, you know, not fell apart, but we went our separate ways, and I kind of wasn't ready to give up.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_03: And I wanted to uh kind of set out literally doing something.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_03: My my mentality was thinking, like, I want to do something like Sublime from the East Coast, but not even just like the music-wise, like yeah, their their mentality, like their spirit, you know.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_03: There was something about you know the way they took all the music that surrounded them in Southern California and the vibe of the people and their location and their home and made something unique about it.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_03: So, I mean, started off, you know, grabbing some friends, going across the hall in another studio, and then just kicking it and young.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_03: And like, you know, like Carl said, over time we started just bringing in some more people that, you know, really I found my friends, you know, bringing my friends into this thing was what made this more and more fun.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Carl and I go way back, we were lifeguards um back in college, and that's where we first met.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_03: We surfed, you know, until the sun went down, and then you know, basically until it came back up again weekend after weekend out in Montauk, out in Long Beach.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_03: And uh, you know, that's what a lot of our music kind of reflects is where we all came from, yeah.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_03: Where we started and what we do.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_05: Where did where did you guys grow up?
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_05: It sounds like Montauk is uh certainly an influence.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, we're all pretty much South Shore Long Island guys.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, everywhere from uh Long Beach all the way out to uh to Montauk, we've pretty much resided anywhere you can on the South Shore.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_03: Um you know that's I think the biggest uh character trait that you know united all of this together is we kind of grew up either on boats or on beaches or just outside and doing what you do out here, you know.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_05: Your uh your sound kind of blends uh alternative rock, uh surf reggae together.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_05: How did that mix become your thing?
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_05: How long did it take to kind of figure out your voice as a band?
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: I think we still are.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_03: I think you're always kind of figuring out you know your sound as as as a band, but like I said before, it's kind of like that same mentality that you know I saw in that SoCal scene of just taking everything around you, you know.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_03: If uh you know they had like you know, the descendants in punk rock style out there, you know, we had the uh the CBGB scene out here over here.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_03: If they had a gem band like the Draple Dead, we got fish over here, you know.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_03: We kind of just take a little bit of you know the same kind of influences.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_03: They had their hip-hop influences, we had our hip hop influences, and it's the music you grow up around, you know.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes you just go to a really good show and you come home and say more of that next time.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's that's a lot of what's been happening for us lately, too.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_04: It and just to touch on what uh Mundo said, Alex, um, where we're still kind of finding our sound in the way based off of like the shows we're going out to see, like you know, what Spencer just said here, like we're taking bits and pieces of everything we can and trying to find a way to fit it into what we're doing now and still make it our thing at the same time.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: You're you're always a student to some degree.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_05: No, that's that's very uh smart to think like that and use that as kind of motivation and always learning.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_05: Um, when you guys are writing, who's like the first person of the band to kind of put things together and then get with everyone and kind of figure out the direction?
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_05: Where does it all begin?
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_03: It's very collaborative.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, a lot of it is like a big group effort, but then like some songs we've had, like Mundo maybe had some lyrics that he's been sitting on for some years, and he just needed a little bit of help from us to be like, all right, well, maybe that part should sound like this, and that part should sound like this, but it it really is mostly a group effort, a big collaborative thing that we do when we write music.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, everyone's usually bringing in something.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: It starts in one corner and ends in another.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: We don't we don't do anything alone, you know?
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_05: That's great.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, you've built a pretty loyal Long Island following.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_05: What's the kind of the secret you guys have found to make sure you stay connected uh to Long Islands and while you're still you know looking to evolve and grow as a band?
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_02: You you need to just be as fun as you possibly can.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a big point.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_02: Being good to people and just having a good time with people is as important when you're playing as it is when you're done playing, as it is when you go home.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: And it's that simple.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone that I run into that you know comes out to support us as family, and you know, I try to treat them as such, you know.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_03: Um without the people coming to see us, you know, we're just a bunch of dudes hanging out in our basement.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_03: That's really about it.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: And that's really all we are, anyway.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_04: So I mean, without that we're not just to touch on that though, we do always bring the party.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_04: That is another big point of this band.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_05: Well, that's gonna be a lot of fun if the Great South Big Festival.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: Even to other people's shows, we get invited to our fans' bachelor parties that we go to, and like it's not only us asking them to come and support us, we're also a part of their lives, too.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, you're performing the Friday of the Great South Bay Music Festival.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_05: Have you guys done the festival before?
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_03: This will be our third appearance now at the Great South Bay Festival.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_05: What is it like uh performing at such a big Long Island festival and how has it grown?
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_05: Because your third time, what was different between the first time and the second time, and now how does that shape the way you look at this performance?
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I mean, it's a it's an absolute honor.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I mean, I there's so many bands and musicians that are working on Long Island right now that are all striving to get up there, you know, um and all deserving as well.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, to to hear from you know guys like Jim and the crew over there, you know, saying that they like us enough to put us up on that stage.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, that's a huge honor.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_03: And um I mean, you know, every year you see these huge acts come through here.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a big gem band guy too, so I love the stuff they do on Saturday night with the jam bands and all that.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but just to seeing all these bands growing and growing and growing.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: And then, you know, when when I got the the call earlier this year about GSB and you know, got the you know, in the no secret that it was going to be sublime, I almost keeled over right there.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_03: That was the coolest thing I think I've heard in in quite some time.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's also just a fun day with our friends, too, man.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we got uh I respect, we got regular people, both of those guys have just earned uh everything that they're they're doing this year.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: They're working really hard, and it's it's gonna be a fun day with our best friends.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's been cool to see like you know, so and in individually too where we've come, because we've we started on the furthest stage off the third stage, we moved up to the second stage in a pretty good time slot, and then this year we're uh we're second to last on that second stage, three bands before Sublime.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: It's like epic to see.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's it's unreal.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's and it's not the finish line for us, it's like the it's the breakthrough point to something new.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: And getting to play with bands like Revolution, Sublime, Elevators, like that's just hands down, such a sick experience.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh once again, Jim Faith.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, thanks to the whole crew over there, man.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone who's making it happen for us.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Shout out to GSP.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_05: Third time's the charm, I'm sure.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_05: You guys are gonna be great on the stage here at a great setup music festival.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_05: How does it differ when you're putting together the show, or does it is it different from a typical club or a bar show when you bring it to the festival setting?
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_05: Well, what's the main difference in putting together the set list and the show itself?
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I I think for me, and I I speak for most of us too, is like this a show like this is where it really is about the music that we make and we write and we play.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_04: And like this is like you know, an a bunk town fall show in a sense, where like you're gonna come out and you're gonna hear our music, you know, and you're gonna be there to listen to what we've made, what we've done, and we also are planning like you know, a lot of fun things and making sure that the right preparation goes into a show like this.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_04: Whereas, like, you go to play a bar gig or something, maybe we're playing it for three hours, and we're gonna play some songs that you know, some covers and stuff like that.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like where we can kind of just paper bag it and do our thing there.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_04: Whereas this is like, you know, this is something we've been working on, this set list that we have prepared for months and months now, and making sure that the timing's right, the songs that we picked are in a good order of flowing into each other and whatnot.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_04: And this this is like kind of like where we get to like hone our craft here, you know, and really show what we're all about.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_04: So the setup and the preparation for this is much more serious than you know, going to play at the bar down the street or something like that, you know.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, feel like building on uh what Joe was saying there, like there's almost two different flavors of a bunktown ball show.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: You know, if you come see us when we're out having a party, like doing those three hour sets, you know, it's gonna be something wild.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_03: I don't really know if I can really explain it, but when you you know you have to do 30 minutes, 45 minutes on a stage, you know, we gotta kind of condense it down to the pure extract of a bunktown ball.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: You know, there's things that we work on for hours, you know, behind the scenes, writing music and stuff like that, that we don't necessarily always get to showcase in such a limelight.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, gigs like this really give us the opportunity to show people, you know, what it is that we create, you know, what it is that we want to be and you know who we are in the most pure form of all.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: Big taste of uh funky punk rock energy.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: We just uh you know pushing the dial forward and forward.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's all energy when Bunk Town condenses it versus a bar where you're gonna see us having our drinks and fooling around picking covers.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: We're we're all energy on that stage when you see us at Great South Bay.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: We're bringing a whole army out for this one too.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: We get horn section guys that we have to schedule practices with and teach them the transitions, we've got keyboards, uh percussion, and to get you know that large of a group into one room weekly before the lead up to the show and then have a dress rehearsal, you know, it's it's a lot more detailed.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: We we take it very seriously.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_05: I would imagine too, because the festival has a really diverse audience.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_05: Um, and it's interesting because you've got the challenge where you're gonna have the longtime fans there, but also people seeing you for the first time.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_05: What goes through your mind that how do you um approach someone that's first seeing you perform?
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's the same way we approach everyone.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, go ahead, Carl, you got it.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: We bring the party, we bring the fun, um, you know, we ask questions about them too.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: We're not just thinking about ourselves, and we you know, we love to grow the army.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_05: You've you've got a new song out there uh that came out uh a few weeks back, I believe, called Challenger.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, where did that song come from and kind of what was the origins of that?
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_04: This is probably like the greatest like story that Bunk Town has to offer for this song.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_03: Can I practice a bit?
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_03: I I just want to throw a thing out there.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_03: We we'd like to call our style of music Gonzo Beach Rock.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_05: Well, I was gonna uh because that that certainly has a uh a certain connotation.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_05: Where did that come from?
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_05: Are you guys fans of the whole Gonzo?
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_03: Uh big Hunter Thompson guy.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um big into that whole idea of you know the way he would tell the true story in the biggest fashion, where it's not necessarily I'm not lying to you, I'm not necessarily telling you a fish story, but you know, I'm gonna tell you the craziest thing you've ever heard, you know, which really happened.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_04: In the craziest way.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_03: And that that's going back to the you know, the question about Challenger, that's kind of been like our style of writing, is you know, we take from our we draw from our own experiences, things that we've you know had happen in our lives, and then just kind of blow them up out of proportion a little and make them a little cooler, a little more fun to tell.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and Challenger, particularly um Challenger is is written from the perspective of a one person who's done every dumb thing that we've all kind of collectively done.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: So um anytime we've lit a fire inside of a bar, uh flipped the motor vehicle, um broken something that wasn't supposed to be broken.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: We've kind of attributed it that to um this this one creature known as Greg.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: And uh we're looking for him because he's gone missing.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know where he is, by the way?
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's funny.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_03: Anyone see him?
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_03: We're looking for leads out there.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_05: That's that's very cool.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_05: Uh so you guys really have a story behind this, and it sounds like you're is this a not a necessarily new direction for you guys, but um just sounds like you really put a lot into the song in the backstory.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's it's right online with uh with an older track of ours called Dio, which um is another just you know, you you wonder if Ronnie James Dio went to heaven or hell and how that worked out for him.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: You know, there was a whole art imitating life thing where my uh my landlord was kind of getting right up our butt about making too much noise and kind of trying to evict us.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_03: So we turned it into a story about Ronnie James Dio having the same situation in Heaven or Hell.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_05: Is this part of a bigger project for you, or is this just kind of one-off singles and you kind of go as as you it's all it's all fun, you know?
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: Um we we just write about whatever we're feeling, you know.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_03: Um the these songs have been catharsis for us in some ways.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_03: They've been you know just ways to talk about our our journey along the way.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_03: Um but you know, at the end of the day, they all they all come from some area of of reality, some area of truth in our lives.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, uh whether, like I said, whether it was a catharsis to just get something out or just to you know immortalize some great times, you know, that's that's what we do.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_03: Um that's that's that's our theme.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_05: How do you balance uh the studio versions of songs with the live versions?
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_05: Because they obviously are going to be a little bit different, but you still want that same energy.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: We we come from um a background that's kind of a mix of that perfect practiced execution, and then uh a background of of jam band bassists.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: So so a lot of the members are coming from different places, and we kind of meet in the middle.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um there's room for improv.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: I trust the people around me to to take the liberties they're gonna take.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: And the live versions of songs over time usually chisel themselves into a unique version, you know.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_02: You can get that studio experience, but uh you're you're only getting what what the soul of Bunk Town is really when you see the whole picture.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, when you come see it in person, obviously, like you said, Harry, it's it's always different studio and live, but that that's something we also like knowingly we do on purpose.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_04: Where you know, maybe we'll be playing one of our tunes like Dio or Way She Goes, mess around, mess around, specifically mess around, which is mess around because it's mess around, and that's what we do.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_04: We literally just mess around with that one.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_04: I'll be like in into a microphone or I'll tap Mundo and I'll say take a little bit of a longer solo this time, you know, things like that, like touching in on the jam band improv side of things.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mentioned mess around and messy scores the game tire.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_04: Look at that.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah, so the generally speaking, we do try to make it like something different every time when you see it live, but also not too far off of the studio stuff that you we're used to hearing, you know.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_03: I want to hear the crowd singing along with me, but at the same time, if we can get that stink face on them, I think that we did it right.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_05: Well, I was curious, because do you it sounds like you test some stuff live and then use the reactions to kind of change it up a bit?
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, hell yeah.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um you know, the the crowd is just as much a part of this show for us as you know anything that we've rehearsed.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_03: Um crazy audibles right on the fly, just because it felt right, you know.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_03: Um but uh yeah, they they the crowd uh gotta play to them a little bit, you know.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, last year we prepared and prepared our set, and uh the weather turned when we started it.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: We had to cut some time, we ended up improvising and adjusting everything we practiced on the fly.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: Everything was a little different than we planned on doing it, and that's just you know, normal operations to us at this point.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's that's the great South Bay Music Festival in a nutshell.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, gotta pivot.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_05: And you never know what what's gonna happen with the weather and all that.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_05: Um as we get ready to wrap up, I'm curious as a band, uh, do you guys have any goals that you want to accomplish before?
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_05: Because I know you put out some music recently, but are there things you want to do?
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_02: There's no goal that we don't want to accomplish.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I I think we're uh honestly, on a personal level for me, and I know I speak for all my bandmates here too, like just getting to play this festival with Sublime is accomplishing a huge goal that I I personally had set when I was only like 16 years old.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I told myself one day I will get to play on maybe I'll be in the crowd and they'll call me up for a song or I'll get to hang out with them or something.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_04: But like, no, I'm actually doing that for real this year, and and I have my boys here and of course Carl to thank for bringing me into this band and giving me the opportunity to get to accomplish that goal this year.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: But then it's only just the beginning, you know?
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's right.

  SPEAKER_05: Um, final question.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_05: I'm curious, you've opened up for a lot of different acts over the years.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_05: Is there something that stands out that you learn from them that you've kind of incorporated in your shows or the way you perform on the stage?
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: The thing that I notice most about the bands that see the success that they do, and the bands we've opened for, it boils directly down to the way they treat their fans.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, some some of these bands, and I'll just shout out a couple of bands that were good to us, like the elevators or Ballyhoo.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um these guys are just at their merch booths slightly stupid and and just just doing right by by every fan in their crowd.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_02: And that that's important, man.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: Those are the people that keep you moving.
