l'ecole du butthole surfers
From the (not your mother's) New Yorker:
WEBSTER HALL
125 E. 11th St. (212-353-1600)—July 29: The Butthole Surfers, from Texas, were equally celebrated and reviled during their mid-nineties heyday. One of the more adventurous bands to crawl out of the American underground, the Surfers fused the aggressive nihilism of punk rock with an acid-damaged sensibility. Their albums were littered with profanity and their live shows were always full of humorous chaos. The current tour marks the reunion of the band’s classic Reagan-era lineup. As a curious twist, they’ll be flanked by the Paul Green School of Rock Music All-Stars, a collection of ambitious youngsters who, one hopes, will survive the experience unscathed.
