GIBBY HAYNES BUTTHOLE SURFERS MANIA: AUGUST RESIDENCY NIGHT #4 w/ Solarization
About This Event
Gibby Haynes leads a Butthole Surfers residency night at Union Pool, revisiting the band's distortion-heavy, neo-psychedelic/noise-rock repertoire. The bill pairs Haynes with local acts—Solarization plus Gabriella Arc, Jambly and Rojava—groups whose tight dynamics, direct songcraft and abrupt pivots sit naturally alongside the Surfers' provocation and tonal whiplash.
About GIBBY HAYNES BUTTHOLE SURFERS MANIA: AUGUST RESIDENCY NIGHT #2
Night two of “GIBBY HAYNES BUTTHOLE SURFERS MANIA: August Residency” lands at Union Pool, placing a long-running strain of American underground rock in a Brooklyn club setting. Gibby Haynes appears with Butthole Surfers, alongside sets from Jambly, Gabriella Arc, and Rojava, framing the evening as both lineage and current practice in Rock/Pop. The Surfers’ legacy has long circulated through New York’s alternative stages, even when the band’s center of gravity was elsewhere. One clear takeaway is how the residency format turns a concert into a short, local document of scene memory and turnover.
