Ep. 239: 30footFALL w/ Butch Klotz

This Was The Scene Podcast

30footFALL is an American punk rock band that began in Houston, Texas. In 1995 they released their first studio album Divided We Stand on Fuzzgun Records. After hearing a demo, Bob Becker of Fearless Records signed them to a record deal and in 1997 produced their next album Acme-143. In 1999, the band released their most successful album, Ever Revolving, Never Evolving, on Nitro Records. The release was followed by numerous shows including a tour with The Vandals.

I heard about these guys on the Fearless Flush Sampler when I got that at a local Jersey show when I was 18. That sampler introduced us to a ton of bands which we talk about in the interview. Their name has always stuck in my head so I wanted to get Butch on the Skype and thanks to Jason Mack I did and this is what we chat about:

• The Fearless Flush Sampler
• Wanting to change the name in the beginning
• Current house shows in Houston
• Jim Cherry advocating them to get on Fearless
• The Punk Bites Comp
• Playing Warped Tour
• Getting signed to Nitro
• Stopping Touring all together
• Their album Doppler Effect
• Their annual Christmas Show
• Their latest release
• the gross story
• And a ton more
