Butthole Surfers, Peaches, and Men at Stubb's
A nearly unbroken streak of priceless gibberish album titles is about all that's consistent about the Butthole Surfers, who spewed forth a vicious cosmic tar-pit of vocal freakery and sludgy, screechy guitar work in the early '80s and have loomed vulture-like over Austin’s musical legacy ever since. But like an acid-battered parallel to Ministry, vocalist Gibby Haynes and guitarist Paul Leary used a swirl of vengeful sonics to make a lot of different sounds, from metal to noise-rock to goofy sample collages, melt down into something new. Haynes, Leary, and the rest of the band's '80s lineup recently pulled back together, appearing here to create a little Halloween night madness alongside XXX electro star Peaches, who knows something about both tricks and treats.
