When the Butthole Surfers started gaining mainstream notoriety in the 1990s, some radio announcers weren't willing to utter
their crass name. But the band that most mainstream listeners knew for the hit song "Pepper" was more than just a name or
a phase; they were one of the most outrageous rock experiences of the '80s, and are still going strong. Get concert tickets and sing along to the Butthole Surfers' biggest
hits!
The Butthole Surfers had their genesis when Gibby Haynes, an aspiring accounting student, met Paul Leary, who was finishing
his MBA. Neither had much taste for corporate life, and instead parlaying their love for experimental rock, bizarre names
and the creepy underbelly of culture into a creative passion by forming a band in 1982.
With a name like the Butthole Surfers, this group can't be anything but lighthearted and freewheeling. That's exactly what
their music comes off to be, as well, with the Surfers hosting bizarre live shows that include pyrotechnics, nude dancing
and disturbing films. Anything goes with the Butthole Surfers, who still have the power to shock and amaze their audiences.
The Butthole Surfers have amassed a collection of music with album and song titles reflecting an obsession with the strange
and downright disturbing (their first album was 1985's Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac.) Don't miss out as this
cult band hits the road; check out dance
