Butthole Surfers: Rock Band in New York

About Butthole Surfers

Butthole Surfers are a Texas-born rock group founded in San Antonio in 1981 by vocalist Gibby Haynes and guitarist Paul Leary, moving through shifting lineups while keeping a long-running core with drummer King Coffey. Their music sits between neo-psychedelia and noise rock, built on distortion, abrupt turns, and deadpan provocation. Past configurations have included second drummer Teresa Nervosa and bassist Jeff Pinkus. In New York City they’ve brought that volatile catalogue to rooms like Union Pool, including Haynes-led residency nights.
