Butthole Surfers Are Back

2017-11-25 by SandwichBubble | 25 Comments
After a few spotty reunions and a 16-year absence of new material, experimental rock group Butthole Surfers have announced that they are working on an album.

Guitarist Paul Leary has cited a desire to "feed the flames of their patiently waiting fans" and Donald Trump’s presidency as reasons for creating a new album, saying that “If there was ever a time for a Butthole Surfers album it’s fucking now. It just doesn’t get any weirder than that.”

While no official release dates have been given, the band recently released "Locust Abortion Technician EP" for the album's 30th anniversary on vinyl with a sticker that says "New Album Coming 2018."

FUCK YEAH.
Also I find it funny that while Bloodhoung Gang won't make another album unless Trump's out of the office, Butthole Surfers felt that this crazy time was just right for them to make a comeback. One of this bands got it figured out.

I saw these guys perform a few years ago and it was a show I'll never forget. They had a projector screen with various gruesome horror clips playing behind them, a weird machine (name needed) Gibby was using for sound effects and an array of different sounds and samples blasted at the audience. They played their entire set continuously with no stopping to communicate with the audience
