Butthole Surfers

National Flag

What a strange story that of the Butthole Surfers. From the grittiest, filthiest band around to MTV stardom! Back in the early days, no one would even dare say the name out loud on the airwaves! The great beast has somewhat been tamed today, and unfortunately, so has their sound. The early records were of the most confusing, acid-laden, brain-in-a-blender puke punk variety; the aural equivalent of sniffing kitty litter through a grimy sewer pipe! And that's a good thing! A spirit of carelessness would emanate from these albums (not to mention BO of the worst kind!). And if I may be so blunt, I would dare pinpoint that the group has lost their edge with the release of Electriclarryland, everything before this album is worth investigating while as the new material which was to follow should be dismissed (except of course for the release of older material).

I had heard of them even before they hit the big times, but it took an accidental encounter with their album Hairway To Steven for me to actually fall in love with them. Fortune would have it that mind was slightly altered when I pressed play and heard Jimi, the first track off of this album. This was some pretty heavy shit and I felt their was a connection at that precise moment, as if me and the music were on the same wavelength (or joined at the head). I slowly purchased their albums but lost all of them at one point. I recently bought all of the Touch & Go Records re-issues from Latino Bugger Veil Records and I am planning to get the others as well.
