BUTTHOLE SURFERS "Brown Reason To Live" LP biały winyl LIMIT 500 szt

Butthole Surfers – amerykański zespół muzyczny i performance'owy zaliczany do kategorii rock alternatywny i noise rock. Członków tej grupy podchodzą do muzyki z dystansem (na co wskazuje nazwa, a także tytuły albumów). Mimo to wciąż istnieją, a do tej pory wydali 14 LP.

Zespół został założony w 1982 w San Antonio w Teksasie przez dwóch studentów Gibby Haynesa i Paula Leary'ego. Od tego czasu skład zmieniał się wielokrotnie, jakkolwiek najbardziej charakterystyczny jest wypisany poniżej. Jeśli idzie o inspiracje muzyczne, to można ich wymienić wiele – od Einstürzende Neubauten i Throbbing Gristle przez Black Sabbath po Franka Zappę i oczywiście wiele zespołów punkowych.

Prócz samej muzyki, zespół wsławił się swego rodzaju happeningami, które odbywały się podczas koncertów. W ich skład wchodziły nagie tancerki oraz filmy wyświetlane za zespołem – m.in. przedstawiające operację zmiany płci. Za najlepszy album BH Surfers – jak nazywały ich niektóre czasopisma, jest uważany Locust Abortion Technician z 1987. W 1992 zespół podpisał kontrakt z Capitol Records, czym spowodował szok u wielu fanów. Członkowie zespołu angażowali się w wiele side-projectów. Haynes założył m.in. zaspół P, w który zaangażowała się jedna z ważniejszych postaci Hollywood aktor Johnny Depp.

Butthole Surfers are perhaps the most perversely confrontational and calculatedly outrageous American post-punk band. Their stage shows have included everything from backdrop projections of auto accidents and sex-change operations to androgynous nude dancers, crude pyrotechnics, and the incessant gross-out shenanigans of singer Gibby Haynes. (At an early show he removed the dress he was wearing during a performance and-depending on who tells the story-either simulated sex or had sex with one of the band's dancers.) Though the Butthole Surfers' music combines the noisy, avant-garde tendencies of late-Seventies no wave with the throbbing, distorted drive of hardcore, much of it is informed by classic, psychedelic rock.

Haynes, whose father hosted a children's TV show in Dallas under the name Mr. Peppermint, met Paul Leary in 1977 while attending San Antonio's Trinity College. Four years later, Haynes, then doing graduate work in accounting, and Leary, son of the business school's dean, formed a band. They became Butthole Surfers when an announcer mistook one of their song titles for their band name. In San Francisco in 1981, the Surfers met the Dead Kennedys' Jello Biafra, who signed them to his Alternative Tentacles label. The band's self-titled first album contained the legendary dada-hardcore anthem, "The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave." Between 1982 and 1985 the Surfers went through a succession of bass players and drummers. They toured constantly, perfecting their bizarre show by adding dancers, sometimes two drummers, and cultivating a hard-core cultish Deadhead-style following. Membership stabilized with the addition of King Coffey on drums in 1983.

In 1985 the group signed with Touch and Go, and its music got even weirder and more depraved. Haynes' gut-wrenching sleaze and pseudo-Satanic ranting hit an all-time low on such songs as "Lady Sniff" (Psychic... Powerless...) and "Sweet Loaf" (Locust Abortion Technician's spoof of Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf"), while Leary's inventive lead guitar chugged and meandered around newly added instrumentation such as acoustic guitars, piano, organ, violin, and strange effects, like speeded-up and slowed-down vocals, and tape manipulations. Rembrandt Pussyhorse stands as one of the most "out" psychedelic albums of the post-punk era, featuring snaky, Middle Eastern-like instrumentation and drones, twisted folk melodies, avant-garde improvisation, industrial noise and feedback, and gastrointestinal sounds. Haynes' attempts to shock include deranged laughter, Exorcist-like growls, and lyrics such as "There's a creep in the cellar that I'm gonna let in... and he really freaks me out when he peels off his skin."

After appearing on the first Lollapalooza Tour in 1991, the Surfers signed with Capitol. Two years later the band released its major-label debut, the slightly more accessible Independent Worm Saloon, produced by former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. In 1993 Haynes also formed a side band with actor Johnny Depp called P. The Butthole Surfers' music has received radically mixed reviews, with underground observers generally applauding the envelope-pushing experimentations, and many mainstream rock critics put off by the band's constant arty attempts to shock. Through it all, the group is among the few Eighties fringe acts to rise from independent to major-label status with its core audience and sound intact. Formed 1981, San Antonio, Texas.

Alternative Tentacles Rec.

I know this is considered an EP and not a full-length album but, if I’m not mistaken, Butthole Surfers (later known as Brown Reason to Live) is about 17 minutes long and in hardcore, that’s pretty epic; it’s just that this thing only has seven songs on it.  A couple years after this release, San Antonio, TX acid casualty freaks the Butthole Surfers would become one of the highest selling and biggest draws in the indie/alternative underground with some of the weirdest, hookiest and experimental albums released up to that point and some far out live shows with flashing strobes, disturbing film projections and use of strange props.  But here Gibby Haynes (vocals/saxophone/guitar/bass) and Paul Leary (vocals/guitar) are just getting started with their deranged noise.  The bassist on here is Billy Jolly while long time drummer Jeff “King” Coffey only plays drums on two songs.  The rest were handled by Brad Perkins.  But what kind of band is/was this?  Thirty years later this is still some pretty out there stuff; a bunch of ugly guitar racket atop a hardcore deconstruction, a bass-heavy dub tune, a kind of rockabilly thing with the Tazmanian devil singing, a couple kinda normallish sounding tunes, some sax bleating, some voice-pitch manipulation and song titles like “The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey’s Grave”, Bar-B-Q Pope”, “Wichita Cathedral” and “The Revenge of Anus Presley.”  There are three others but they’re not as weird sounding.  The fact that the band presented such a bizarre style of music yet became commercially successful with a cut-throat business sense combined with actual musical skill speaks volumes.  Some people are still pissed over that Touch and Go incident way back in 1996 but, what can I say?  The Buttholes totally rule!
