Masters of measured scandalisation, the mathematical radical consolidated the sicko antics of electric shock sway with a distinguishable and pell-mell gallimaufry of new wave, hard-core, and Texas psychedelia; sleazy, confrontational, and vindictive, songs fear "The Revenge of Anus Presley," "Bar-B-Q Pope," and "The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey Oswald's Grave" seemed destined to guarantee the Buttholes small more than a lifetime of cultdom. Yet, by the mid-'90s, they were left Top 40 hitmakers, success perchance their ultimate subversion of mainstream ideals. The seeds of their formation dated back to 1977, when future frontman Gibby Haynes, the son of the Dallas-based children's TV host known as "Mr. Peppermint," met guitarist Paul Leary while attending college in San Antonio. Four old age later, Haynes -- then complementary his graduate work out in accounting -- and Leary formed the Ashtray Baby Heads, afterwards dubbed Nine Foot Worm Makes Home Food; they became Butthole Surfers only after a wireless announcer erroneously took the title of an former call to be the group's call. In 1981, they signed to Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra's label Alternative Tentacles, and two eld later issued their hallucinatory eponymic debut, as well issued on colored vinyl under the name Brownness Reason to Live. Afterwards a number of bassists and drummers, the Surfers' lineup fell into shoes in 1983 with the plus of drummers King Coffey (once of the Hugh Beaumont Experience) and Theresa Nervosa; at the like time, their freaky resilient gigs -- a traveling monstrosity show compounding nude person dancers, plastic film clips of sex change trading operations, and Haynes' pyromaniacal behavior -- began to bring home the bacon a devout cult following, and in 1984 they issued the concert set Live PCPPEP. A move to the Chicago-based indie Touch & Go precipitated a turn toward even greater thematic odiousness, as evidenced by tracks wish "Concubine" and "Lady Sniff" from 1985's Psychical...Powerless...Some other Man's Sac. After the EP Cream Corn From the Socket of Davis, the Buttholes resurfaced in 1986 with Rembrandt van Rijn Pussyhorse, a misrepresented tripper into neo-psychedelia featuring a brutal deconstructionism of the Guess Who's "American English Woman," as advantageously as new bassist Jeff "Tooter" Pinkus. The introduction of Haynes' "Gibbytronix" vocal effects unit increased the level of dementia for 1987's Locust Abortion Technician, an extremist fusion of hoodlum, metal, artistry rock-and-roll, and worldbeat rhythms. Following 1988's faux-Zeppelin blah Hairway to Steven, the group issued Bivalent Live, a mock corn liquor released through their own Latino Bugger Veil imprint; afterwards a pair off of EPs, 1989's Widowermaker! and 1990's The Hurdy Gurdy Man, they remained uncharacteristically understood until 1991's uneven Pioughd, recorded for the Rough Trade pronounce. For many observers, the biggest blow in a life history reinforced on hideous behaviour arrived in 1992, when the Buttholes sign with major label Capitol, which promptly reissued Pioughd following the death of Rough Trade. After incoming the studio with producer and early Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones, they emerged in 1993 with the LP Independent Worm Saloon; the first individual and telecasting, "WHO Was in My Room Last Night?," both garnered a surprising sum of airplay, much to the humiliation of the many media outlets which begrudgingly referred to the group as "BH Surfers." Following a series of side projects -- to the highest degree notoriously Haynes' group P, which as well featured motion picture star Johnny Depp -- the band (directly a trine consisting of Haynes, Leary, and Coffey) returned in 1996 with Electriclarryland, marking a major chart hit with the trip-hop-flavored "Peppercorn." In 1998, they recorded a reexamination, After the Astronaut, but disputes between the Surfers and Capitol prevented the album from existence released, though gain copies were sent to reviewers. Three long time later, Butthole Surfers emerged with their first for Hollywood/Surfdog Records, Weird Revolution, which recycled some of the songs from Afterwards the Astronaut, but in new recordings. |
