Butthole Surfers

Revisiting my youth again, digging out all my old Butthole Surfers stuff. For those who don't know them, they were (are?) a bunch of psychedelic punks from Texas who specialised in freaky, psyche, and sometimes downright offensive alt.rock. I saw them in London in 1986/87 where they had naked go-go dancers (nothing new there, the Stranglers were doing that in '77) but the stage was backdropped by a film of someone undergoing a sex-change - pretty freaky baring in mind the amount of narcotics consumed that night by tye punters. Anyhoo, here are a coupla tracks to whet your appetite: 'American Woman' from the 'Rembrandt Pussyhorse' LP and their brilliant Sabbath rip-off 'Sweatloaf' from 'Locust Abortion Technician'.
