From the Vault: Bunky
It’s been a long day, and I’m tired. I tried to listen to some new music, but it wasn’t feeling right. Luckily this band popped up on shuffle.
Artist: Bunky
Album: Born to Be a Motorcycle
Label: Asthmatic Kitty
Bunky is fun and childlike, bouncy and fresh, and they have a great blasting horn section. Definitely worth a listen if you didn’t catch this album a few years ago.

This song is loud and brash in a cute way with lots of competing horns and cymbals.

More horns, simple sexy lyrics, and again that bouncing quality that gets my feet moving. It doesn’t look like they have anything coming out very soon, but you should check out their label site for more info and similar artists. And buy the album if you like it.
Speaking of getting my feet moving, I bought a pair of tap shoes today. AGH! How impulsive of me. What have I done?! I’m pretty pumped to learn how to tap, though; I’ve been watching Gregory Hines, Eleanor Powell, and Liza Minelli videos online. I just have to find a good studio in the city. Ah dreams.

I have not thought about Bunky in so long! I was born to be a motorcycle!
