Stephen Hawking WAS right.

Time travel truly IS possible, whether you like it or not.


beware

their last album was shitter than Fieldy's Dreams


Correct about the last album

BUT awesome news none the less. One of the greatest live bands ever.


i want to be there

oh and, son, if you see your mom, tell her


There was a thread about this the other day.

It's not actually the Butthole Surfers is it? It's kids doing a Butthole Surfers School of Rock type thing. Which could be amazing. Or very shit.


from their myspace site-

Butthole Surfers will be playing shows on the east coast and Europe this summer.

For these shows, Jeff Pinkus will be on bass and Teresa Taylor (along with King Coffey) on drums. This is the rhythm section the band had for most of the 80s and marks the first time this line up has played together since 1989.

Paul Leary has prior commitments and unfortunately can't play the European dates (he will be on stage for the New York City show and possibly more stateside).

However, fear not, our European friends. Joining Gibby and crew on stage for all shows in the US and Europe will be The Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars. This mob of teenage geniuses will blow your mind.


I'm in


more copy/paste

"My heart sank when I saw "Butthole Surfers Reunion Show" for Philly on the Ween forum. It's not at all. Paul won't be there. There will be 10 kids on stage playing Butthole Surfers songs. Jeff, Teresa and I won't be playing the whole time, since these shows were the idea of the School of Rock folks, so their students will get plenty of stage time. Nobody is really sure how this is going to work. We have time to figure it out, I guess.

I'm doing it because it will be fun. I miss playing with Teresa and Jeff. I also miss Europe, so what the hell. I'm going to leave expectations at the door and just try to have a good time."


total cunts

fuck them


?


If...

...you don't know about how BS basically flipped the world of independant music on it's heard for the worse then read here:

http://www.southern.com/southern/label/TCH/chicagoreader/butthole.html

Or, in fact, any interview with Corey Rusk from Touch & Go. Their lawsuit made it impossible for independant labels to exist safely on a genuine, documented, 'handshake' agreement with bands.

Money grabbing bastards.


Wow

Didn't know about that one.
Like the Ian Mackaye quote at the end of that.


they're also
