(drums beating) - Yeah, so between every song if you need to like drink some water- - [Bridgette] Yeah.

- You know, anything like that, it's totally fine.

- [Bridgette] Yeah.

- [Interviewer] Cool.

- All right.

We are Honey Bunny, and this is our "Sound On Tap."

- [Interviewer] Did y'all form in the pandemic?

Were y'all pre-pandemic or during?

- We formed before the pandemic.

Originally it was just me and him.

And then, we found Robert a little before the pandemic.

And then, we've of course had a cool momentum going and then everything just kinda stopped for a long time.

- You guys did a bunch of streams, which I know was primarily just you and Bobby, but- - Yeah, 'cause we had no choice.

- [Interviewer] Yeah.

(Bridgette laughing) - It was just me and him.

But I mean, that was largely successful because no one was doing anything but getting on their computers for a while.

So, we got a lot of attention just doing fun stuff on the internet, so that was good for us.

- [Interviewer] Yeah.

- But I'm glad to be out in the world.

A full band, doing the thing, singing our songs.

(soft guitar music) - One, two, three.

- I mean this as the most sincerest compliment possible, your guys' music makes me wanna buy a long board.

(band members laughing) - Oh my god, thank you so much.

Wow.

- Like I wanna be in Santa Barbara or something, just like cruising.

- [Bridgette] Hell yeah.

- Some sort of fruity cocktail.

- [Bridgette] Ooh.

- A pina colada or something.

I don't know, it's very like...

It's fun and energetic, but very, like, chill vibes.

- [Bridgette] Chill vibes.

- Yeah.

- We like to be chill.

- [Bobby] I love that.

- We're pretty chill people, so thank you.

- Long board companies.

(Bridgette laughing) - [Interviewer] Yeah, looking for sponsorships.

(band members laughing) - So, where does Honey Bunny come from?

Where'd the name originate?

- [Bridgette] Babe, take off.

- It's a reference to "Pulp Fiction."

"I love you, pumpkin, honey bunny."

"Be cool, honey bunny."

Kinda the mentality, we love movies, Quentin Tarantino.

You know, so, made sense.

- We did that, but we started off as a couple band.

And of course, so everyone's like, "Oh my god, it's 'cause you guys are together and you call each other honey bunny."

And I was like, "Fuck no we don't call each other honey bunny."

Oops, I don't know if I'm supposed to say that.

But we don't call each other that.

We are partners and everything's great, but it's not because of that.

It was a reference to "Pulp Fiction."

- It's not a pet name.

(Bridgette laughing) - We don't give each other a lot of pet names.

There's a lot of yelling.

(interviewer laughing) I thought it was awful.

- Oh, I thought it sounded amazing.

- [Bridgette] Oh, no, thank you.

No, we were talking about last night.

- Oh.

- We had a little, some flubs.

- [Interviewer] Yeah, yeah.

On that song last night?

- Yes.

- [Interviewer] Ah, well, redemption.

- Redemption song.

- Yeah, we were doing it.

- All right (laughing).

- So you guys played in Austin last night?

- [Bridgette] Mm hm.

- On this trips, I'm curious what are you guys listening to?

- Ooh.

- [Interviewer] What does Honey Bunny pop in the cassette deck?

- He does the playlists.

- We were doing Viagra Boys last night on the way up there.

- I don't know if you've ever heard them.

- [Interviewer] I haven't, but you know.

I imagine if you listen to 'em for more than four hours consecutively you need to contact your doctor.

- You need to contact your doctor.

(Bobby laughing) Yeah.

- That's beautiful.

- Amazing.

That was (lips smack).

- No we're all over the place.

We did some Gary Numan, Talking Heads.

- [Bridgette] Always Talking Heads.

- We did Hank Trill last night.

They rap in a Hank Hill voice.

But it's all Hank Hill inspired hip hop.

It was a beautiful thing.

- We don't suggest that.

- [Interviewer] Oh, I do.

- That's not part of- - I'll endorse that.

I haven't heard it, but anything Hank Hill I'll endorse.

- [Bridgette] It's hilarious.

Was that the one you threw in that you weren't planning on playing?

- Yes.

- [Interviewer] Well, I'm glad you did that.

- Yay.

- That was awesome.

I'm curious, as a- - [Bridgette] Thanks.

- As partners both in crime and in life, does that make it easier to not pull punches in the creative process?

Or being more honest with, like, "I don't like that?"

That "Bobby, that was terrible."

- He has a stronger backbone with that than I do.

And I think it's because he's been doing it for a lot longer than I have.

And so, he'll just come in and be like, "Hey, I got this idea (humming)."

And I'm just like, "Okay."

But for me, the process is a lot longer.

So I spend a lot of time, and I have all these feelings and all this stuff.

And I'll present a thing to him.

He just ideas all day and just shoots 'em out.

- Yeah, I think one thing of being partners though, that we're together, we listen to a lot of the same music, and I think our ideas are kind of paralleled in that way.

- Yeah.

- So she knows kinda my tendencies.

I love Ween.

Ween is one of my favorite bands.

- Yes, he does.

- And so, she'll come in and be like, "You're getting a little too Ween."

Or you know what I mean?

(band members laughing) - "Bobby, you're being a little Weenie."

- [Bobby] Yeah (laughing).

- "Quit being a little Weenie."
